I normally run at about 70..  But that being said, on the highway when im riding I tend to sit about 5mph over the limit, and just enjoy the ride..  Keep out of everyones way. :)

On a Guzzi V7, that's realistically right AT the speed limit.  My speedo typically indicates 3-4mph higher than the GPS.

Well...our roads are lousy with maniac Quebecois.  They all either run 10mph under the speed limit or 30mph over it.  The Canuck truck drivers are the worst.  They don't use directionals, half are hopped up on speed and over hours on their log books.  It's best to pass them and get the hell away.  At least half the traffic on I91 and I89 is going 80mph.  The other half are hyper-miling tossers going 62mph in their Prius...Prius's...Prii?

Hopefully they will all be gone by the time the Bennington Bash rolls around.


While basically a Triumph based rally is has morphed into an all are welcome.

two years ago we had 7 Guzzi's, last year 5 along with Ducati's and Aprilia's, etc.  So if anyone is interested in a good time (Friday BBQ and Saturday banquet) come join us.

Why do you even bother to ride on those roads?  I ride for pleasure and relaxation, not to see how long I can survive.   :bike-037:
