    Hell, you were one bad A$$

    He slowed down approaching cars. Also don't forget that they have a "keep left" law I think and even passing someone in a clear lane to the left of another vehicle is called undertaking, not the same as here.

    It's pathetic how over a certain speed it's automatically "dangerous". Cruising down the Bombay hills on a deserted weekday night at 180kmh would probably get you an automatic "dangerous driving" ticket. Utterly pathetic.
    True. And at the risk of wandering off topic, it is fascinating to note how during debates about speeding and getting fined even if only 5 k's or so over the limit, many people are very quick to judge / opine along the lines that "you decide to speed, you pay for it, don't whine etc"; yet many of these same people say during debates about funding pregnancies on benefits, dole bludger lifestyles, and so forth "don't you dare judge me, you should pay more taxes to fund my choices, my problems are not my fault".... the cognitive dissidence is strong in these ones...

    Name that bike which is described "...that it was built for speed."


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    That cop was definitely one of us! He followed for 8 minutes. 8 glorius minutes of being legitimately able to ride at 150 mph down a relatively clear motorway. Pure heaven, and he got paid for doing it. I just wonder why he didn't follow for longer?

    Well, shit. I'm going to be horribly self conscious if I ever find myself riding out of a carpark in front of you, now.

    It's the A1. The best thing you can do is get off it as quickly as possible.
