Aubrey,
When my 72B was new, it would cruise at 80-85 all day long. Of course the
speed limit in those days was 70-75 and it was safe to travel at that speed
without getting a ticket. Now that the speed limits are lower and the
police are out with radar everywhere, I hold it down to 75 or so with no ill
effects. Sounds like you need some work on your suspension.

Dear Listers,
There have been a few anecdotes from various listers covering long
distance drives.
In these accounts, I read of speeds of 75-80 mph and am amazed.
When I achieve 70 miles an hour my B starts to do "the heebie jeebies."
After that the, rock n' roll (I'm a child of the 60's) and pretty soon
the entire car is on board as we shake, rattle n' roll down the highway.
Should my B be smooth at 70, or is the movement normal?
'Twill be interesting to see what responses to the above, if any.
