A fork in the road brought a new episode

Maybe if you tied that GPS wire down, you could get 3 more mph. (or not)   Grin

At first I thought, man that throttle cable is loose.

Yeah, that's my earphone cable.  Gotta have my music for when I ride!

Yes, Meathead, all we have are straight roads in Indiana!  Southern Indiana has some more curves, but we have been glacier free here for over a million years!

Yeah, I got that 97 when I ducked down. 
The old adage is true, though:  It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow.

The Scrambler has a 270 degree crank, the Bonny has a 360.  The scrambler makes it's power at the low end, and has less HP on tap at the top end.
I do love the sound.  With two baffles removed, and the 3rd with 3 1/2 inch holes drilled into it, I can hear it even with the music.  Not loud, but it's there.

Haven't I read that LEO's/courts have prosecuted riders just on the video evidence the riders posted online?

Ok, I rethought the wisdom of showing such a thing.  Wouldn't want people to get the wrong idea!
I removed it from youtube.

I do appreciate the comments.

I don't think that there would be a problem in Indiana. However, from what I've heard,  Virginia has quite a few cihcken sh** legislators and LEO's. Am I right?

How do they know who's riding?  How do they know who the owner of the bike is?  They can only assume who owns it and who's riding it at the time.  Maybe a friend borrowed the bike and camera.  Maybe it was taken out of his garage by a thief who also took the camera that was hanging near the bike.  He took the video and then felt bad and brought the bike and camera back?   Cheesy

It's like red light cameras.  The car, not the driver gets the ticket and the car is only identified by the plate.
