    yeh, but Mr policeman didn't say how stable bikes are at 150k, just point in straight line, let rip, and you'll be fine; just make sure line continues to be straight and hazard free, otherwise you'll be fucked!

    Speed kills - I read it in the paper so it must be true.

    However ........

    There are some hoons around these parts.

    Mind you to Joe Public any bike wizzing past and flinging into the next corner looks crazy!

    Take care out there.

    Why though does it have to be all about motorcyclists?Car drivers dont speed or if they do its ok as they have some metal (sort of) round them.The stretch to Culverden is pretty boring and i imagine theres plenty of 4 wheeled vehicles doing those speeds along there.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Who believes this shite? The idiot cops that spout it, the idiot editors that publish it or the idiot consumers who read it? Fuck, in Europe you cruise at these sort of speeds and as long as it's not wet and you're not tailgating then you're not likely to die.

    Society must be dumbing down a bit, how long before we have a firearms safety message with the headline, "Shot in the head, you die". I mean seriously, these bulletproof riders don't expect to come off and live, they just don't expect to come off, and the article does nothing to address that; just another example of bikers being painted in a bad light cos we are all rebels and a burden on society.

    Typical knee jerk reaction from some Constable who no doubt use to be a Snake prior to the merger.. Some on KB would may remember when it was unsafe to travel over ten kilometres and hour as if you did you would stop breathing - haha
