    How fast do you drive your Deuce?

    I have 1100's so I run it at 60-62 all I can. I bought this thing to drive and I do drive it. I hate going slow and I dont want to spend my entire time I have to drive just going nowhere. if I got 5 hrs to drive I need to be somewhere when I get there not just the other side of town.
