Do you mean speed, or get caught speeding?  In my impetuous youth I
used to drive my '84 Westy pretty routinely at around 85 on the
highway in New England.  Of course the engine needed rebuilding
earlier than otherwise, but day-to-day it didn't complain.


I'm less impetuous now and seldom take my '89 White Star above 65.  I
don't think I've had it at 85 ever.


Yours,
David
