funny story. back when i didn't know any better than to believe in licenses, (a juvenile) i had it taken off me, and was latterly stopped and breath tested. if i'd had the license i would have been over the reduced BAC and i'd've gone to bumrapeland.
because i didn't (because they took it off me), there was no other provision in the legislature, and since i was under the full license/adult BAC I walked out of the cop shop with some fucken sore looking cops shaking their heads.
Dump your bike then report it as stolen to the police. They can't prove it was you.
Yes - they can - they have a picture of the bike, the date it was on the road, the number plate and they can match it to their records to show on the date you were photographed you were not registered.
But the camera only takes the pic if you were over the speed limit ..
PS - they can also check to see if it was warranted on that day.
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
A friend in Dorkland told me a story of his mate who was riding up round Whangarei - older guy (maybe around 70-years) - from North England - got caught south of Whangarei at something like 135 klicks.
The cop asked him if he knew what speed he was doing.
The old guy replied (in a thick accent) "Oh No officer - at that speed I'm way too frightened to look at speedo."
The cop laughed, told him to slow down and let him go ..
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
As an inexperienced biker aged about 22 it was a completely involuntary reaction I can assure you. I'm just thankful that my reaction did not include grabbing a big fistful of brakes. (Learnt that lesson right at the start on some wet grass when avoiding a power pole that someone placed in a grassy picnic area). "Do I brake to avoid the pole or do I try to change my line and go around it? I know ... I'll do both" resulting in my very first (and worst) off at all of 20kph I'd imagine
I've subsequently trained myself to ignore the cat/dog/bird that is heading at me, hold my line and watch the road.
Grow older but never grow up
You have evidence that "speed does not kill". That's why they hate you.
ANPR cameras.
Good luck.
Like the chap trying to see what would happen at different speeds less than the posted limit, when passing a camera ... who got tickets for failure to wear a seatbelt!

Rotten luck really.
We all have a blast, from time to time. Try and do it safely, where you are not a danger to others, and also do it where you know there are no cameras.
I used to have a 200kph blat on some mornings, on the way to work. I mentioned it to KB and the next morning, there was a cop with a laser pointer waiting for me.
Luckily, (I saw him before she saw me) it was all just a joke and I would never do such speeds on the public highway
