Hey tfdeputydawg. Thanks for the input. I looked up the Calif. code on vehicles pulling trailers and it may be that motorcycles are exempt from the law of 55 MPH. If you read the code it says trucks, bus, and PASSENGER vehicles. It does not say motorcycles. This has been on my mind for some time so I guess I'm going to make a call to the Dept. and get their word on this. As the law is written, it leaves out motorcycles and mentions all other vehicles. I'm not sure if a bike falls under passenger vehicle.
Although the code does state that if we are carrying explosives on our bike we have to go 55 MPH.
Here is the code.
V C Section 22406 Maximum Speed for Designated Vehicles
