Be carefull mate

day after i maxed mine out on the motorway home a few year back there was a police bmw in the layby, had that been the night before i would have probably been looking at a right good bumming session in her her majesty's for 6 months

only reason i was going slow the day after was because the fuel light came on, thanked my lucky stars and was probably the only time i was glad Honda used a small tank!

ive been doing same strip every night around 2-3am and can go weeks with no police and then see a few then nothing again.... these days i usually plod along now around 60mph, only a few mins slower but more than makes up for it with the MPG saving

Since i got that NIP for 53 in a 30 and it got dropped at court I've been a lot more cautious mate, that was a close call, knew i hadn't done any where near that speed they indicated and im guessing that's why they court 'threw it out', good job as i was just going to go along with what ever they said!
i put the lotto on that day too after, but i guess getting away with was pushing my luck as is.

I keep a good twating for a crack of dawn ride over the B roads up north, usually do a gentle run fist see if theirs any plod about or setting up and then open it up (within reason) on the reverse, I'm not a dangerous driver imo, I wont speed in a town or where there are likely to be people / children etc

other day I was coming down a road 30 limit I'm doing about 25mph around 7pm on a left hand blind bend on the approach to the double roundabout in Leyland before the McDonalds and this Richard-head on a ninja flew past at an easy 60+ , wombles time and a place!!

I'm not going to hold my hands up and say whoah I never speed, I will when I personally feel it is safe to do so, condition's allowing.

Not sure I approve of taking your hands off the bars, whether you say whoah or not.




It will ruin your aerodynamic efficiency and slow you down....... :lol:
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
