T ... first gear redlines at 76mph, it may not have to be.

Hah. My cruiser wont see that downhill, w/ a good tailwind in 5th gear.

When on the road, I always greet other riders and compliment their bikes. One time a guy on a bullet bike was suprised I compliemented his bike. Making small talk, he then asked me how fast my bike goes, "Fast enough to put a smile on my face" along w/ a thumbs up. We both laughed.

Miles and miles of smiles.
