	the bay bridge is 50, the gg bridge is 45 or 50.

	i've been pulled over for going 70+ on the bay 
	bridge.  2am, very light traffice, no weaving.
	i was given an fst, which i passed, and a polite
	warning (i immediately admitted how fast i was
	going when queried, btw).  i routinely haul holy
	ass (Pardon my french) on the bay bridge, as one
	weeknight a week i am on it late at night with 
	almost no traffic.  it's basically the weekly drive
	in my car (30 miles) and often i only drive the
	motorcycles the rest of the week.  y'all know urq's,
	you've got to drive 'em hard to keep 'em in shape.

	hey, where can i find these speeding tips?
