Autobahns are crazy.

I have recently ridden one at around 150 (indicated, so more likely 140 actual) and was overtaken at least 5 times in 20 mins.

Nuts is all I can say.

insane.

I have to say the Autobahns seem much safer - we used to go to the continent a lot, I've only ever been a passenger though.
