For the record, if you want to see some SERIOUS action...

Spend about 1-2 hours on I-95 in S. Florida between Miami and Aventura..

- the average rate of travel of a car on I-95 (no traffic) is usually about 85mph. No exaggeration. It is clear, open road.
I can't tell you the countless times I've been driving, lets say doing 90mph, very normal on that road, and a motorcycle comes out of no where and passes me doing no less that 120mph. And, sometimes they have passengers on the back with them. And, often it is not one bike but 8-10 bikes that come out of nowhere.. I've seen them doing speeds of 150+..

- now the flip side of that story. Without fail, at least once every other month, you see one of these bikes blow past you at some crazy speed. Twenty minutes later you are still driving on the same road and you see the poor schmuck and his girlfriend laid out all over I-95.. Dead as a doornail.
This is soooooooo common, the police are no longer allowed to chase motorcycles on that stretch of road. The chases were too dangerous. Now they just let them go and pick up the pieces when the wreck.

-- Another quick story, I was driving home from a Morosso track day. Cruising at about 80-85mph (on I-95). I am in the second to left lane and a motorcycle pulls up right next to me. He drops back about 50 yards, and pops a huge wheelie. He pulls up next to me while he is on his back wheel. I give him a thumbs up and he gives me one back, (he is still on his back wheel....) and carries the wheelie for about two more minutes then hauls ass outta there.. Again, this all happened between 85mph to 100mph..
