The speeds are higher than GMR. GMR's got more "twisty's", so it keeps the speed down on motorcyclists. I've never had any issues there either. (other than that mercededs driver buzzing me - but the Harley rider took care of that.)

Expressing your opinion that you have a right to the entire road frequently elicits the opinions of others.
Experience has taught me that riding very close to the white line results in more close calls. Taking the lane makes sure they see you. While climbing, I'll take the lane, then move over once they've seen me.

Watch out about calling it an "opinion." That's like saying it's my "opinion" that rain is wet, cement is hard, and the sun is hot.
