Turtle Boy has been hiding in his turtle shell since his last post 2010! Post # 346 in the thread below was his last post. No wonder he can't get his facts straight.... Rip van “Turtle Boy” Winkle!

And clearly it was time for him to come out of hibernation given what would seem to be a few rather misleading interpretations of the facts since the implementation of a SL 8 years ago. Give it up! The SL is here to stay.

Should be a game changer in this battle, SBONH is still alive and well while WINNFAB is dead!

Already SBONH has over 5,000 likes with IBOW having 6,000 and counting for a repeal.

I do not have a TWITTER account but was told there was about equal amount of tweets to repeal.

Guess the cons outweigh the pros at the moment.

STAY TUNED!

I seriously doubt we will see a a full repeal of the speed limit.... but there is certainly a strong enough argument to revise the daytime limit up to 60-65MPH just like on the highways. I think the Gov & the Senate would not be the issue... getting it thru the House might be a little tougher, but then again, had people been willing to compromise the first go around... we would already have a 65MPH daytime limit.

The nightime limit of 30MPH seems to be just fine....

WinnFabs might be alive, but it's on life support with a "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" order!

BroadHopper · 07-10-2018, 11:59 AM

The IBOLW account on Twitter is 16,000 strong!

Going to be a good ride!

KDL · 07-10-2018, 08:28 PM

I'd like to see 55/35.

Then WinnFABS must be a zombie outfit since it was dissolved by the State of New Hampshire on 1/1/16 for failing to file the reports as required by law. An appropriate end. The name seems to be available for use by, say, an organization with a different view of things such as speed limits.

How odd. And to think I've corresponded with several members in the last week. Perhaps they are zombies too. Spooky.

Corresponding with members of an organization that no longer exists? Interesting, but to each his own. Say hello to Elchase, Bearislandmoose, Sunset on the Dock, APS (formerly known as Acres Per Second) and your other fellow travelers.

You mention my old moniker, after Friday's recovery of this "Ocean-Racer-Eraser" from Lake Winnipesaukee's waters?

Sorry, that is incorrect. It is a sailboat eraser.
