The speed limit poll

[GreyAngel]

Heya, let's get some quantifiable opinions on +4 kmh vs. 10 kmh debate. Coz I just frankly don't give a shit. If I speed it's never +7.5. if I'm going home after ride I do 100 coz I can put my feet down....

[superman]

With you on that, if I speed its not 105... Albeit maybe briefly.

[zeocen]

Yeah, with your Ninja 250 you might even get to 106kmph!

Whingers unite.

I'll have you know it can reach 175 with a good tail wind! Not my fault licensing system means I have to wait 2 years for something bigger than a 250

[onearmedbandit]

I ride to the conditions...

[The Singing Chef]

Go 175!! and yea i don't give a shit, i just notice when i see a cop i tend to shed a fair amount of speed, doesn't help that one is on the lookout for me after i took his now ex on the back.

I'll have you know it can reach an indicated 175 with a good tail wind and massive speedo error! Not my fault licensing system means I have to wait 2 years for something bigger than a 250

Fixed for you.


Also,

if I'm going home after ride I do 100 coz I can put my feet down....

I have literally no idea what you're trying to communicate with this sentence.

With that attitude I'm fucking thankful our licensing system means you have to be on a 250 for two years.

Which brings up the point about speedo error, I reckon 100kmhr actual, could be up to 110 indicated on many cars, so those will slow down to 100 which is just a nudge of 90 in actuality, then those being doing 90 indicated get well angry, but can't pass because the speed differential is too low. Despite the hilarity of the movie 'drive angry' I think actually driving angry is not good for judgment and safety.
Whereas now people with over-reading speedos can happily do an actual 100 without fear of being ticketed!

[Oblivion]

To be quite honest, I never really look at the speedo. Well, I did, before I learnt how to judge speed by the engine noise. Doesn't really help the fact that I dont have a rev gauge though...

I know right! Could have killed someone, such an irresponsible prick I am!

[superman]

Fixed for you.

Don't ruin the dream man!

My friend, fellow L-plater, got pulled over by a motorcycle officer yesterday. He was without his plate as he ditched it within a month of getting his license. (incidently superman he has the red flavour Ninja 250.)

The officer told him off and warned him to put the L-plate back on as another officer might not be so lenient. Then sent him off with a "have a nice weekend".

Odd thing was, my friend was on the motorway doing 100kph at the time!

What weird kind of holiday speed tolerance was that?

[MrKiwi]

I don't see speeding tickets as revenue gathering

[DrunkenMistake]

I seen more police today than I did all weekend.
Besides, my Local cop down here is nothing more than a crook himself haha.
