My Honda Elite 250 would hit 65 (downhill with a tail wind). It was happy
cruising at about 50-55. Getting passed by a semi going 80 blew me all over
the road!

This is metro Atlanta! If you can go 0-75 in less than 15 seconds you're
gonna be road kill!

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
