Usually 5 to 10 mph above the posted limit. Same as I do in a cage. The Fat Boy feels ok at faster speeds, but I'm never in a big hurry to get anywhere.

Old and slow. In the cage or on the bike posted speed limit. Never have to worry about speeding tickets. Occasionally will pump it up and peddal hard to get out of a traffic bunch
On back roads and twisties conditions and road familiarity set the speed but I usually push it a bit there. My current philosophy is " I have nowhere to go and all day to get there."

Yall make me feel like an old man. But I’m with RexTheRoadDog on this one, old and slow. I keep up with traffic mostly. Back roads take it slow enjoy the view. You miss so much by going by it too fast.

LOL !! No, just me! I just try to keep the bike moving on the way home from a journey. I typically ride 2 lane pavement on the way to a destination and interstate on the way home. That trip there was a straight shot last summer from Forristel Mo. to Rochester NY. If it werent for the mess on I-80 at the south side of Chicago my stopped time would have been well under 1 hour. No need to speed when you dont stop much.
EDIT: I've learned over the years that I really enjoy going solo on long trips. Most people I've ridden with want to stop every 50-75 miles for an hour. You just cant get anywhere with riders like that. Took me 4 1/2 days to ride to Galveston Texas with just 2 other riders year before last. Average speed on that trip was under 35 mph due to all the stops.
