If you see one driving under the speed limit it has more to do with the driver timidity or they have an insufficient vehicle towing it.
Or they're trying to save fuel. I usually cruise at 60-65 mph to get that elusive 8 mpg 
, but will hustle along at 75 mph if that's what traffic demands. Over 80? go around!
And even though I can hustle through the twisties at or above the posted speed limit, I do pull off secondary roads if any vehicles back up.
And Dwight, I had to laugh at your scooter experience. I did the same thing 2 weeks ago on my morning Cup 'o Joe run to McDonalds. Riding the Big Ruckus, I made a tight u-turn and tried to feather the throttle/clutch/rear brake. OOPS - NO CLUTCH (and linked brakes)! I stayed up, but it was NOT graceful. Damn teenagers watching too.
