Does riding at 70-80kph in a 50kph residential area impress you?

If he gets close to the door, and you dont like it, open the door and teach him a lesson.

I read the title of the thread and assumed the poll was the same. However it turns out its actually the opposite and I have inadvertiantly answered the poll with the wrong answer. I tend to disappear into the backroads/wops to find twisties and places where I can run amuck. However residential areas offer too many dangers not only to myself but everyone in the area. Not to mention how friggin stupid it is to speed in 50kph areas...

they have one of those signs on my road that tells you your speed....i went past it and kept my speedo dead on sixty the other day to see if it was correct....the sign reconed i was doin 48 kmh

It's like measuring your dick, then realising you're looking at centimetres.

I tend to stick to the speed of the traffic around me. If there's no traffic I just do what feels appropriate to the conditions/location Tonight on the way home where traffic wasn't an issue I did some of it at 50kph, a couple of wee bursts up to 70kph but generally just on 60kph.

Drive to the conditions, when the change change your speed.

"well you see officer, the road became empty and low denisty population and all I was doing was following that radio advert "Drive to the conditions, when the change change your speed." Remember the speedlimits not a target...."

Hmmm, it would seem some people are getting caught out by the different poll question (from the thread title). The 'slower' ones that is...

Must be a lawyer, and I ride a cruiser so it sounds cool at 50kph. The open road is a slightly different story so maybe they should do a pole on that next. I guess I have kids so I stick to 50 in town.

[R6_kid:Me]

time and place...

i live opposite a school, there are certain times and places in the neighbourhood that i will stick to or close to the speed limit (about 61kmh) but otherwise dont worry about it.

I know *all* the places where kids could possibly magically appear from and so its around there that i keep it sensible.

** being that both sides of the road are 99% clear for atleast 2-3m back from the road in the built up area

i normally stick to the rules in built up areas,normally around schools were theres kids,and weres theres plenty of traffic.all it takes is one car to mess things up....

Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't that stoooooopid advertisement say "drive to the conditions, when they change REDUCE your speed"

As we all know, that would eventually result in a pack of parked cages and bikes all over our roads. It annoys me every time the stinking ad comes on.
