my city built a round-about the other yr, sloped it all wrong, i go around it faster than 5 & it feels sure as s**t we're going over!
bigger, wider tires keep'em stable. if i did 80, i would be out of gas in 10 mins so i cant comment on handling issues there, but at any other speed i really dont notice being 11' 5" tall, you most definiatly pay attention to bridge clearance signs, overhead wires, low flying planes....
biggest issue i find is relocating the birds when you come out of the bush with trees & their nests on your roof
