Mine is mostly a commuter bike, and while the route goes along what is technically highways from my home and work, it is not what Google Maps calls a highway. They are state highways, and the old U.S. highways; sometimes they're two lane and sometimes four, depending on the stretch, and if folks out here in the rural south try to run 70+ on these highways, which I'm sure they'd like to, where the county mounties and troopers aren't so out numbered, they'll have lots of tickets and high auto insurance.
I run 55-65. Usually from speed limit to 6 or 7 above; no tickets. Any faster, and I'd have tickets. When I travel to one of the larger cities, e.g. Knoxville or Nashville, I'm amazed at how fast people drive even on the state highways and city streets. I guess the cops just are too out numbered to do anything or they don't care about getting caught. Not sure, but it's alot faster traffic than when I lived in K-Town back in the 80s.
