^ yeah i would think twice too, the reviews that pull me in are "the engineer for this road mustve been a streetbiker!"

But you kinda gotta see it since youre less than 50 miles away i think it was. south of Knoxville i think.

Plus, a lot of places out in the middle of nowhere are patrolled by aircraft, and having a radar detector offers zero benefit. I believe that's how Roo and I got busted last year on Hwy 95 in NV, between Laughlin and Las Vegas. 95 in a 65, it wasn't pretty.

yeah speeding on our bay area highways is way easier (with soundwalls and little place for HP to hide)...opposed to the cliche Hollywood Las Vegas highway where it looks like you could go as fast as you want, cops just hide behind a bush or fly in the sky.
