    Is there another way to be buggered?

    It sounds like another case of residents hearing a 250 or 400 screaming it's nuts off and they think it's Rossi out for a ride.
    oh come on buddy, you're not serious! I know residents sometimes get a little excited simply because a bikes doing 8000rpm but there are plenty of guys out there that regularly put their bikes over 150 on those roads.
    I mean, its not exactly hard to do on sportsbikes these days and it pretty much takes more will power to NOT go that quick than it does to wind it on!

    I should clarify, I was talking about a consistant speed. I've seen the odd rider nail it on the straights, but most aren't that quick when it gets tight.

    Yesterday I went to do a job in town in my "commercial vehicle" (MX5). As I turned onto Peak rd there were two bikes about 200 meters back.I passed a few cars,but I was conserving gas as I was running low. I was doing 115 to 120 km/hr and not slowing for most corners.The bikes seemed to make an attempt to catch up at first ,I could see them passing the cars I had passed ,but I lost sight of them eventually.I think they gave up.

    haha, you'd think he'd stop...maybe he had to be somewhere though. At least he didn't jump out and proclaim you guilty of careless use or some such, I reckon some would.
