If you can push a mower 25 miles I'd agree with you

They can indeed be entertaining however yours aren't in my opinion, even
when he's not saying anything you tend to pop in a jab when he's not even
part of the discussion

Haven't seen that, Mace or a small firearm should protect against that

I wouldn't consider doing the freeways even if I could do 40 unless they had
decent shoulders. The only way to go faster than about 25 for long periods
is with a faired bike. the maximum speed record attained by one of those is
81 mph, with a car blocking if I remember correctly it's 150 set 30 years
ago, apparently nobodies been stupid enough to try it again.
