It actually hugs the road very well until about 115-120 then you can feel it get hind of feathery, not too bad where your like crap this is crazy but just enough to make you grip the steering wheel a little harder.

You see, this is why, if I had to do it over again I would have gotten the SS or SS panel over the 2LT. More horses and about the same MGP plus I could do 138. (not because I want to but because I could......if I wanted to) LOL!

I have been warned by the folks ( who retired to State College ) that the Pa. cops can be some very particular ass clowns about speeding. At least they don't run Laser like the Md. cops do.

I don't want to tell you exactly where it is due to the fact that when i do more upgrades i will hit it up again to see how much higher i can go. Its near a small town in Texas near lake belton. Just don't want to turn that bend one day and there sit some johnny laws radaring me. you have to understand right.

Certainly - I didn't know where Bastrop was.

Actually, I think they turn into wings around there. It is pretty sketchy at that speed, it feels like the electronic steering loses some of its feel, and no longer feels squat... I think the word is featherly... or it might be the speed rating on the tires.
