I got poped by a tatooed Ak State Trooper last summer while riding on Prince of Wales Island. The speed limit is 50mph. I have no problem in my truck, with or without the camper in the back. 50 is OK. On my CB. Climbing up mountains swinging along above Big Salt Lake, down and around the mountain towards Black Bear Creek, 50 doesn't cut it. I got poped at 68 in a 50. He wrote me for 58. I've never riden anywhere with a population as low as it is on POW. I felt extremely safe and under control on my CB at under 70mph. 50 is 3\4 ton pick up speed. I thought I knew all the Troopers on the Island. This new guy wrote up a buddy @ 54 in his Camaro. If a deer or a bear or a wolf jumps out at you, anything over 20 mph is bad news. I'm glad I got the opportunity last year, but I'm not going to enjoy riding that slow. Not really worth trailering 3000+ miles to ride at 50.
