I disagree, people running in the mountains like you are more likely to have gear on and be properly licensed for operation. they maintain their machine at a level equal to the riding style. limited access highway is more useful for the guy who found a bike cheap, doesn't maintain it, doesn't need a license as long as he knows what he's doing etc.

if you're gonna look to give out tickets you want to go where violaters are. most violations in the mountains would be speeding or passing, they already have patrol cars for that.
