65mph? That's just insane! Four or five mph is much more reasonable. That way old ladies with walkers would have pleanty of time to get out of the way of those demented trouble making motorcyclists.

Well, at least they are talking about doing it to cars as well. That should make everybody feel better. (snicker)



It's coming. Nothing you can do will stop it. Western Govts became totalitarian in nature a while back. They know that they can get away with any fascism if they make their proposals with a smile, carry out their goals incrementally and claim that they only want to make people safe and reduce health care costs. The lemmings line up and cheer loudly. Right arms extended.

market shift away from sport bikes?

i wonder what that would do to sport bike sales if it were to be implemented. would cruisers sales be less affected? ja? nein? was denken sie? koennen wir nur ein mal den unausgebildeten republikaner bloedsinn-diskussionen unterlassen? oder ist das wieder unmoeglich hier?

apparently this editorial piece was written when gasoline was still 87 cents a gallon.

published date April 1, 2007. Perhaps its a joke...doesn't appear to be. Something must be right with the world if the only thing to complain about is loud motorcycles...

I think in America 100 mph is reasonable, but it's not going to happen here. Especially if they target cars as well. I think in England 80 mph makes sense or possibly 70 ....

seruzaWa, I think the biggest violators of personal freedom have been your beloved Neo-conservatives represented by W. The Patriot act ring a bell.

I can't believe that you think there's one iota of difference between the Dems and Pubs.

Buy a Satellite phone dude if you think it is cheap. OnStar is one shot deal i.e. no continuous monitoring also OnStar has very very few subscribers. Despite what you say

Kreuzerpiloten sehen nichts, ich voraussagen. Ich glaube, daß ein Absatzmarktabstand erscheint - die Chrom-und-Lederbehälter für das Tragen Ihrer gesetzlichen dokumente zu verkaufen ist die neue Weise.

Re: kwrong

Oh, YES mighty kfool/GMP! I'll run right out and do so! I wouldn't want to ever be "out of touch" because there is absolutely no cell-service here in flyover-country!

You could never be wrong, or off on some hare-brained tangent that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the subject at hand...........

 

[The_AirHawk]

Surprise kpecka'head! It's already happening! Most "non-performance" cars are already limited to ~110 or so. Some even lower. And there's rumblings every session of Congress to introduce Bills that will sweep everything under that rug.

Oh, I've already gone past that stage long-ago. Actually, I don't hate the squid, sometimes I just lose patience with him.

It's like talking to a perpetual 7-y.o., unmannered, undisciplined child. I have conversations with my youngest Niece that make more sense, and she's The Devil.

No, really; she's The Devil. Has a Lamborghini Diablo and everything..........
