December 18th, 1996: 101 in a 65.

"You were clocked at a hundred and one by radar, you will be receiving a ticket."
<thinking> "My '88 Tempo can do 101mph?"
I think the speedometer went to 85mph. The car felt very floaty.
There was nobody on the PA Turnpike but me.
15 day suspension.
I had so much fun in that car.

I have continued to obey speed limits, for the most part. I have found that no-longer pointlessly feeling rushed every time I go somewhere, especially commuting, has been wonderfully relaxing. There aren't nearly as many people in my way.

This morning I was riding to work, from [livejournal.com profile] cathijosephine's. I was merging onto 93N, just before going underground. It was a long ramp. I was moving a decent pace. The lanes were going to merge. I looked to my left, and thought...

Oh, that car is already pulling ahead. I'll wait for the next opening.

Wait a minute. I'm riding a fucking Blackbird.

Clicked the shifter down a notch, tucked in a bit to keep the front wheel down, whacked the throttle open, and everything goes away.
