That'll probably buff right out of the Lambo! :rofl2:

Freddy has experimented with speed bumps. Some have already been removed. The ones they used here were pretty steep and pretty short; anything over 30 or so and you're going to see sparks.

They have essentially no effect on most motorcycles, and a number of bikers were using them as personal "moguls". That and the fact that most drivers would slow for the bump, then floor it until the next one, basically demonstrated their ineffectiveness.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

I noticed that if I drive at full speed ( 40 - 50 kph) over speed bumps , it feels smoother than if I drive over them at the posted rate (20 - 25 kph). When I drive over a speed bump at 20 - 25 kph, i feel like i am on a roller coaster.


??? :shake: Never underestimate the stupidity of the common man.
