    i dunno, but i do know theres a map floating around somewhere that shows where most of the cops sit, and the possibility of the area being radar enforced

    318 is the most heavily patrolled highway on the east coast.
    and i thought it was a major biker zone.

    Lol I think Top Gear actually did an episode where they went to one of the supposed Worlds curviest mountain roads. The "tail of the Dragon". only to be met with 25 mph speed limits haha :rofl:
