    Buy yourself a Dyno and set it up in your living room - you'll be able to go as fast as you like, and you'll have the printout to prove it.

    Yeh its just how quickly it gets up to speed, I'm still about -3 seconds off thinking i'm at the correct speed doughhhhhh

    Simple solution

    Bit of gaffa tape over the rego plate and keep it pinned everywhere you go.
    If they can't catch you then they can't give you a ticket.

    Years back a friend had the same issues. He'd been riding a 600 for 3 years or so (Old CBR 600 I think) and never had a ticket.
    Upgraded to an FZR1000 and in a month had three tickets and lost his license.
    Once he got it back he promptly crashed the thing and spent months recovering from a broken leg.

    Buy a radar detector. Most of the time the cops will let you off as long as you're nice and polite to them.

    Ride with no licence plate. Cuts down on air resistance and costs, no rego and no tickets.
    Ride fast or be last.

    Its pretty easy....

    First, you won't care, then you'll collect points a little too frequently, and they'll give you some time off for reflection. Before, during, or after this period, you'll begin to have 2nd thoughts (see, the time off is working already).

    At this point, it goes a few different ways. Some barely reflect, rinse and repeat (I know several who have lost their license over 5 times, and we're not talking young morons). Some reckon they have learnt the error of their ways, and try again. Most fail, and get the time for reflection again (even if it takes a few years to forget the first point of reflection). Some do make it, the first time off was plenty to get them by for life, and they vow to make it their last. Somehow, with superhuman effort, they obey the law on that bike.

    Others realise that rinsing and repeating is their only destination if they keep the bike. Usually they really don't like this thought (again, the first time off is plenty to keep them satisfied for life) and sell the bike, buying something different.

    I'm in the last category... worked for me, haven't spoken to plod since (over 1.5 years)

    Most of us know our local riding roads reasonably well, we have a general idea where we most offten see the, and wich roads they are abit of a raerity to see them on, so keep your speed down in the knowen areas, Particurly out side Donut shops.
    You could also save the hoon factor for track days.
