jrc,

I agree with you. As I said in my earlier post "I’ll compromise with you as long as I can get the speed limit removed from the interstates".

There are civil engineering DESIGN CRITERIA involved with interstate highways that will allow for fast speeds.

Also as we all know there hasn't been any engineering studies done on lakes to allow the Go Fast Be Loud (GFBL) boats to go at full throttle like autos can on interstate highways.

So what do you say? Can I go ahead with the petition?

Rusty, take a boat at 50 MPH and then shut off the throttle. Notice how quickly the boat stops? With no brakes even!

We already have the data that shows no accidents at or above the current speed limits after literally decades of of being that way. Nothing like emperical data to squash pointless blather....

Why the h*** don't you ask someone else to break the law on lake Winnipesaukee by going 50 MPH. Didn't you know that the speed limit is 45 MPH?
All I can say is that I'm sure glad that you don't own a GFBL boat!!!

Rusty be cute all you want but facts are facts. Notice that whenever we talk data you deflect? That does not go unnoticed. I'm not going to cut you any slack. Since you brought it up, where's the data that supports the need for a 45 MPH limit?

Also, I did not say to do it on Winni so you made assumptions. Yeah, now a boat going 50 MPH is some awful thing to happen. Maybe I'll buy one and circle Bear Island like a shark

If SB-27 does not pass, I do not see 45 MPH staying law forever......

Ya know what psycho, your joking around about taunting people is going to land you into a heap of trouble someday. It’s really too too bad that the honest hard working people on Bear Island need to have a dozen security cameras around their property just to protect themselves from jokesters like you. Your comments might seem like jokes to you, but I’ll bet that they take them pretty serious.

Turing your boom box up as loud as you can get it and also circling the island like a shark might seem harmless to you, but who knows what else you might do.

Psycho…it’s just not funny anymore…..and please stop it!!!

If you want to attack me, then go ahead, but when you make comments about my posts, please don’t make jokes about what you want to do to other people.

That's Mr. Lawn Psycho too you.

You constantly want to deflect. So what hobbies do you like Rusty so we can pick apart whatever it is that interests you.

Spare us all the diatribes. Nothing that I have said construes illegal activity although you desperately want to grasp at straws.

Again, where's the data?
