I speed sometimes but do it smartly and in intervals, usually.

I was driving back from Ottawa (1.5 hrs away form Montreal) and was flying, 130km

...it was pitch black...cop was nice, marked it down to 120 and $98 instead of $260

However the trip was not in vain...I picked up a pair of Motordyne ART pipes in mint condition with only 1000km on them

TheGreatOne: What was the speed limit? I go 80 mph (130 kph) on a 65 mph (104 kph) interstate road here in Upstate, NY, and the troopers don't bother you. 80/130 is probably near the edge though. I even blew by a trooper while going 82 mph. If you're going to speed, you can't do it during conditions where the troopers can hide ... night ... around blind spots, or bends/curves ... behind obstacles. You need clear straight visibility.

By the way, my last 2 speeding tickets were July of 1991 (70 mph in a 55 mph) on I81 in NY, and December of 1990 (77 mph in a 55 mph) on I90. The speed limits have increased to 65 mph on most segments since then ... thank goodness.
