How about a higher open road speed limit for bikes?

Our main roads are getting a lot better than they used to be.... there is more traffic on the roads.... congestion is an ever increasing problem.... bikes use less fuel and take up less road space and parking space than cages with one noddy in them in rush hour. Bikes are better than they used to be.... rider education is better if you seek out the training.... bikes also stop faster when used properly.

Trucks/buses/trailers have a lower speed limits, so why can't they raise the bike speed limit to at least 110kmh on open roads (therefore no tickets until 121kmh?). I reckon it at least has some merit. Waddaya all think? Maybe do a poll???? (I'm new on KB so excuse me if this was done before).

What about these idiots in cages then.... the cow doing her make-up in the mirror kills, the dick on his cellphone reading the map kills, the truck driver right up my ass kills, the old fogey who pulls out cause she cant see killls....................

When ALL bikers can handle 100kph in all situations THEN maybe raise the speed limit.

Until then leave it at 100.

We CAN do whatever we want.... we just might get someone come along who makes us stand before a dude with a wig and gavel and he may have his wicked way with us for our badness.
