I got a speeding ticket a month and a bit ago. SH1 Just a lil ways outa Bulls.
119 in a 100 zone.
Bang to rights. I was got with a radar gun.
I explained I had only just bought the bike and that the speedo needle was jumping around moren a junkie on speed.
Then I wrote a letter of explaination--which was sorta semi accepted-but still I had the ticket.So I wrote again--this time with a receipt for the new speedo cable and reference to a credible person who could state exactly how a bike speedo would act when the cable was about to break.
Anyhoo I got a letter from the police to say that given the circumstances the ticket was withdrawn.
