I know how you feel. I got done for 160+ 1 year ago in a cage

. Since then, no speeding.

I got $1000fine. I was caught on camera. I was overtaking as well. But that is still no excuse.

Good luck.

So let me get this right - you're saying that I can either try and find two other people, preferably (in my book) two females, who would care to join me for a 'session', not an easy task, or I could use my right hand. :spudwhat:

Look, it's easy to bag someone for getting a monster ticket but the fact of the matter is, Ive gone that fast a shit load of times on machines that were possibly unsafe at half that speed.... Why? No idea.... It's a bloke thing.

Yes, it's not a good idea, yes it's a very dangerous thing to do (for many reasons) but it's also pretty hard to resist. Getting stuck into people and using the f**k word is not required... The gentleman was just asking a simple question. We were not there, we don't know the whole story...

Paul N

ps - Yes, where I think it safe and suitable I will go that fast again as well... Why? Dunno... How often? Seldom but in the back of bum buggery no place it just might happen...

Also, it won't *go* much faster than 110. I've ridden a GZ. Nice, but they don't exactly want to go fast. Which is fine. But don't try turning the fact that you happen to own a 250 that has trouble exceeding the legal limit into some kind of moral superiority.

whats the matter with the word 'fuck'? It's just a word? And I am getting 'stuck into him' because I feel riding that speed on any public road is fucking crazy!

I aint sunshine, I'm simply stating the facts and when I do get a bigger bike I aint going faster anyway as speed tickets are expensive and money is something quite precious to me.

One day, after you've ridden a 100hp bike for a while, and you come back and say that with hand on heart, *then* I'll believe it.

I tend to agree with the Random man here, I'm not a balls out speedster however, I have on one or two occasions decided to blow the cobwebs of the BiffBird and opened her up ‘a bit’. A bit too fast by some peoples books, sure. But none the less it has been away from other motorists, pedestrians etc so I'm only likely to hurt/kill myself. Had I been caught then it would have served me right.

I don't think Handy Dog is looking for sympathy (he wouldn't get it from me, just an "ouch - taxi"), but has realised he's fooked up, big time, as he was caught. Unless he was a total fuckwit and did it down the main high street that is, in which case I'd say he should be hung, drawn and quartered.

I bet there isn't a single biker, yourself including, in the entire country, nay even the world, who, of sound body and mind, and on a machine capable of doing so, has not at some time or another exceeded the speed limit. Apart from R1Aaron, who walks everywhere these days.

So for now I say let's all chip in, take the piss and collect donations for his future bus rides.
