Depends on where you live within The Silver State. Decades ago, there was literally NO speed limits on the highways, then came along one Lady Bird Johnson, now, privacy walls everywhere and a 70 MPH speed limit edict. Before her, the speed limits were non-existent, and, if you went over 100, you were pulled over, given a $5.00 "energy waste" warning that didn't go on your record.
Today, 55 is the limit on most highways, some 60, lesser 65, and ONE 70 MPH. The NHP and usually local county Sheriffs will allow a solid slide of 5 MPH, but, go 11 over, ticket city. Usually, the law enforcement people are great people, very few real jerks in law enforcement,m but, they do exist.
I live 6 miles out of town, and usually when I ride one of my two strokes into town, I get it to red line and very fast, to clean the excess oil and fuel richness out. Since I sit on 4 County boards, I know all the locals, and the local NHP people, they know I work in the road racing industry, and am a race rider, so, they usually leave me alone, but I don't abuse it. Usually, I get pulled over for questions on how to fix a problem with some vehicle they have. Right now, I have the City of Yerington's Police Chief's son's go cart, fixing the clutch.
Most places here, in the rural areas, are great to be in, the cities, getting out of control from all sorts of people incoming that were problems in their former areas. A county area known as Silver Springs is the hash and meth manufacturing capital of Nevada, very rural, lots of adverse people, 30 miles from me. We here are getting more and more of those sorts, dealers, users, and just plain problem persons.
