I can ride 85 !!

[Easy E]

Americans will be able to drive faster in Texas than any other state in the nation. Approved in April as part of a state transportation bill, the Texas legislature raised the maximum state speed limit to 85 miles per hour. So you Busa owners in texas need to jump on this.

You mean the limit is NOT 85 everywhere else? oooops . . .

 

[dadofthree]

Well, that means people will be running 100 and you can expect highway fatalities to rise IMHO. It will be interesting.

 

[1 wheel peel]

It will only apply to a very limited number of roadways.

That will cut one hour off of a trio across Texas. They need to rais it 15 mor to make it worth while.

Oh hell yeah! I bet it only applies to I-10 out in the middle of no damn place though... It's already 80 on I-10 down around Midland/Odessa - Ozarka I believe, I'm not sure exactly where all it is 80 but I've ridden down I-10 with that posted as the speed limit, can't honestly say I honored the sign though, lol

 

[mattd428]

that is only gonna apply to highways out side of the metroplexes mainly west texas

 

[SpeedFiend]

Does anyone know where these limits are going to be posted?

I'm moving to Texas this weekend with my Busa and my Lightning

HWY 58 has a stretch that 3 digits can handle. But I do not do that. I swear. "Captain"

 

[Hayabusa4life]

I might have to move there.

 

[BUSA CRUSEN]

I always thought those speed signs were for the min. speed.

 

[Busamomingrief]

SPEED KILLS !!!! That's one way to get the population in Texas down. How stupid !! SPEED KILLS!!!!

 

[Busamomingrief]

And the reason for doing 85mph on a motorcycle is ???? WHY????

 

[fastblackblur]

[Busamomingrief]
