yea and when (not if) they finnaly have a accident either through thier own fault or by being hit by someone else they are "only succumbing to thier own inevitable fate and doing us motorcycle riders a favor" (like someone posted in local newspaper editorial about motorcycle riders..take with heavy sarcasim and direct infrences to an opposit statement of like thought process)

I see your rant and raise you a wag of the finger.

just to clarify

[zellabusa]

methinks that by the time the average person can afford a vette or cobra, they are past their prime and maybe intimidated by the throttle that they craved all of their lives. just sayin

[StromBusa]

Some peeps are just trying to save their license having pretty much toasted the thing with their bikes....

last week, I treated mine like a dirt tracker...donuts & drifting in a pasture at a halloween party (had to show 'em how it's done & that you don't need a monte to do it)

Now that you mention it, that is what I see driving most of them around here.
I like Mustangs, especially the "Bullet" version they made a year or two ago. Just aren't worth (and I can't afford anyway) the 30 large a nice one costs.

I got behind a Porsche on a twistie, and at first they were pushing the people in front of them and then when we got around all the slugs they did not cut loose and just poked about. I passed and they tried at first to keep up .... but, you know the rest of the story

[twotonevert]

I have no problem with this rule either.

As a former vette guy. I can explain. Many Vette guys (like busa riders) are running the cruise either to preserve their license or salvage whats left of it. Btw for you younger guyz. Bald doesn't = slow either. Ha! - AL

I agree with 6.5. I don't know how you can have all that power and go for a cruise. My Vette very rarely sees anything close to the speed limit until the V1 goes off
