Thank you for providing the extra information, DM. I feel guilty if I do not caution everyone regarding the dangers of riding a 200cc motorcycle on limited access highways. We consider ourselves very blessed that FastDoc is still alive after being hit from behind while riding his 200cc bike on the interstate highway last year.
