120mph hill
There is this particular hill that I have on my way to home, that is straight, long and perfect for doing 120mph just before making the right turn into my housing development. I think the speed limit on the hill is 45mph. Since it only takes about 0.002 seconds for the ZX-14 to go from 45mph to 120, the hill is perfect for a blast-of-speed-in-the-middle-of-nowhere.
This evening while I was riding home, I decided 120mph was out of character and I was going to chug along behind this little hybrid at about 5 mph below the speed limit. Both of us looking like pregnant cows using walkers, just barely able to make it up the hill, while other cars passed us.
There has never been a cop on that hill in the 8 years I have lived here.
...until tonight. I waved at him as I putted along at 40mph.
