most of the time, i use the gps for backup, but if you practice without any speed indicator at all, you can get a good feel for what "just a little bit faster" feels like.
it's not hard to do. around here, it's usually tollerated by CHP. most of the ones i've talked with tend to agree (at a bbq, not roadside).

going "lots faster" is also easy to spot, which is why so many guys get snuck up upon: no rear view habit, a component the bmw excels at compared to many others. (after all why look in the mirrors of your UJM motorcycle, since you can't tell a chp from a black ford fiesta with skis on the roof?).

speaking of, heads up: once again it's ski season in so cal....when everybody thinks almost everyone else is a cop because of the roof rack.....it's not ski season, it's panic brake practice season. heads up.
