That is a good idea, Super. I had to drive this one home along I-80 from a little town in South Dakota. I kept it at about 50mph not knowing how it would go, and I got passed by a lot of cars. Most of them were courteous and I got a lot of 'thumbs up' but it was a light traffic day. The suspension is in good shape but still it is stock with no rack & pinion, radial tires, disc brakes, etc. so SLOW is good enough and safer. But it would still be nice to cruise at any speed and have the engine at a comfortable speed too.
