Silly cagers taking up road like that. I so envy even the idea of having roads like that anywhere near me. Cool video looks like a blast.

Yup JM  [thumbsup]

You have some fantastic roads down there
Comes a time
When the blind man takes your hand
Says don't you see
Gotta' make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe

Thanks!  They're all over down here.  This is a road near the Dragon, and you can make a nice loop with it and a few roads for a killer ride!

I did get a ticket on a 4-lane highway while an SUV was passing me on the inside.  I think I got the ticket for the speed the SUV was traveling (he got different speeds from his front and rear antenna) instead of my speed.  Anyone with any input/experience with similar situations PM me please.

If it's a bad ticket, get a lawyer with a radar expert. Mostly they have no idea what they're shooting and in one ticket I beat eons ago the radar added my speed and the station wagon's speed. Those things don't have a 1 degree angle and a scope!

Good luck!

Sorry about the ticket but man am I jealous of those roads!

your ticket will show what they used to catch your speed.  If its a radar get a ticket lawyer and more than likely you will get out of it with a tiny fine worst case.  If it was a laser just get a ticket lawyer and pay the big fine.

Ticket didn't detail.  Got a reputable lawyer in town.  Looks like the best they can get me is a 9-over.  That is safer than a PJC for me.
