Yeah, I think my ride is becoming "known". The other day I was headed through town and jumped on a road that has a 50mph speed limit, but is straight as an arrow and often sees some "excessive speeds". I was going maybe 55mph, and looked up and saw the oncoming vehicle flashing his lights at me, which I took to mean "Radar Ahead!!" Surprise, surprise the lead vehicle was a County Sheriff, and as he went by he was giving me a "Down" signal, as in "Slow Down, Bud!!" I'd already dropped speed, but looked back and saw him U-turn a car back, thinking "Oh crap, he's going to come after me!!" Nope, he closed in on the guy who was following me, who had been closing the gap quickly as we met the Sheriff, and he rode his bumper for a mile or two and then turned when he turned.

The red is looking great!! It'll be attracting attention, for sure!!

I'm sure it's really easy to speed in your area. You guys have some nice speed limits there. We have no 2 lane roads here at 65mph, and our interstates are 70. Yours are 75 if I remember correctly. Man, after I got back to slow ville I caught my self speeding more than usual.
