I pulled into the right lane and he blasted past like I was standing still! What a wonderfull country
So true! I've never been passed by so many station wagons in my life!

I agree with Buggin, 100 mph is easier than 120 mph. Especially when your on only 5 to 6 kilometer section that is unregulated. Speeding up just to slow down, it seems I can watch the gas gauge move. The mufflers sound good there too, not to much wind noise and a nice deep pitch from them.

BTW- Like the avator. I flew those too when I started out. Send me a private message and we can swap lies about flying.
