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

Damn, who would ever have thought Seb would become the voice of reason!!!! You're getting old mate.

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.......
