TMonk, funny how they put politics and religion together. Both are topics that bring out the best and worst in good people.

That's exactly right. As you might imagine, it's a total ****show in there. It puts a heavy demand on the volunteer moderation staff for sure. Most of the time it's pretty entertaining reading some of the crap that people post, but sometimes it just makes me tired lol.

Bought a folding bike today. I have been looking at them for quite awhile. Got a Brompton with the lacquer finish, so you can see the welds. And, it might be a one-of-a-kind, given they never sold this color with all black parts. And, it fits into the trunk of my FRS with room to spare.
I aspire to be the person my dog thinks I am.

Today I did Bike The Drive in Chicago on my fixed gear. It's the only day you can legally ride your bike on the outer drive of the city along the lake. Passed a lot of Fred's on Shiv's and Cervelo TT bikes, and a few in a pace line, doing like 10 mph all kitted up. I had to laugh. Friday I did Critical Mass here and ended up leading the fairly big group down Broadway. I had no idea where I was going but everyone up front thought I was the leader. It was a blast, and I got soaked because we got dumped on and I had a really long ride back to my sisters place.

If there is any way on earth you can pay a lawyer to deal with it, it is worth it long term. I rode sport bikes for years, and the only reason I have a license is that the system does not care what you have done, it just says wants some money. And, there are lawyers who specialize in this.

Apparently my bone stock corolla can do 120+ according to the officer, regardless of the 115 limit on the computer.

Most cars today can make it to 120. Just how quickly is the real question.

Cars with H speed rated tires are computer limited to 115 mph. My Honda VTR1000 has Z rated tires and is good for about 160 mph. I spent 2 days in jail for doing just 140 mph on it and spent $2K in legal fees to keep my license and get my bike back. Now I ride a Harley and have kept it under 100 mph. Older and a bit wiser.
