[QUOTE="Bokerfork, post: 1339334, member: 14213"] The biggest problem I have with Nevada and Colorado is the fact that they lower the "speed limit" in the mountains to the lowest reasonable speed for the tightest corner in that section of roadway. Therefore, if you're on a motorcycle, you nearly fall over from lack of speed in the sweepers just to maintain that speed limit in the tight corner. At least in California, the transportation department is willing to spring for YELLOW speed suggestion signs in any corner that falls below the 55mph highway speed limit. This allows for a little more fun in the corners and makes 75 mph the forbidden 20 over impound my bike limit. I've ridden in both Colorado and Nevada without seeing LEO's running speed traps, so it sounds like Colorado may be running a bit low on revenues. Hard to believe with all that Marijuana tax revenue coming in. YMMV Just to stay on topic, glad y'all had a great time on MOTORCYCLES in NAFO.[IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/punk.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
