183km'h through speed camera

**jellywrestler** · 28th April 2018, 08:45

Since another KBer has gained some sort of notoriety with 182 kmh through a speed camera and his tally for replies is now in the sixties I'm thinking of going out today and trying for a new high score of 183.
Will I get my 15 minutes of fame on here and it make my life better, or is it not worth it?

If you can do it on the Henderson, we could promote a movie around that....

I was bad for intentionally going past speed cameras well over the limit for a while. Its a pretty dumb practice.

There is one photo in particular that I want, but a friend that works in the department tells me his boss doesn't find it as cool as we might.

Nah - if you want to get your face on a KB t-Shirt you will need to top 200 +

And, given the ease at reaching 200 on a modern motorcycle (American Iron excluded) you'll need something different to excite us - how about doing 200 while on your cell phone?

If it's raining hard enough you might even get away with it.

Dunno how atmospherics affect the cameras. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

They're threatening to introduce them here in the Philippines. And increasing the size so they can be read at 15metres in poor light. Not for speed cameras, but for crimes committed while riding tandem.

Coming back from Christchurch today i didnt get written up for 118 on account of getting outta car in the pissing rain and walking back to plod car,copper only bothered winding his window down 1/2 way informing me of the reading asking if i had noticed the weather then telling me to piss off and slow down.

Don't do that in the USA, you'll get shot. Drivers there have to sit in the car with hands on the wheel in plain sight. Y'know, "freedoms" and all that.
