First ticket/fine.

I've had one ticket for 28 over the limit, of course, I will never ever exceed the speed limit again

Love it.

Done pretty well here in the 8 years on the road. been close at times up around 95 demerits but always kept it under.
currently at 85.

the longer you spend on the road the more chance you will get pinged.
currently i do around 2500 to 3500 km per week on the road.

just take each ping as a warning and try to avoid doing it again.
Glad to hear that you are taking the fine seriously. bling for you.

Before i went out, my 125 had an oil change, not to sure if it would of affected the performance. Just wanted to add the details/events in sequence before and after the night it happened.

Today i have been riding extra slower than normal, i have lost count of the amount of cars that overtook me

I have never had a ticket when on my bike which is ironic really because generally I break the speed limit on it - not by far though *ahem*

My car - sure but I never go over 115kms cause I know the price rises! I have only ever had about 4 speeding tickets and that's over about 28 years so that's not so bad.

Haven't had one YET. But then I try to keep it down and put the energy into low cunning.
Don't let cars wind you up just keep an eye on them. It's often better to have a dubious cager ahead of you than behind then they can 'pathfind'. At least you can position your self in their mirrors - they have three to choose from.

first and only ticket was in my youth cager hooning days, 134kmhr, sneaky cop way behind a van so didnt even see him till he pinged me, havent done bugger all speeding since (and none in cages), (only a little on high visibility straight back roads)

Hey elle-f.
he he he I did! Click on the little picture to get a better look that is!
AWESOME.

Well a speeding ticket aye, well,keep that lip from trembling and get on with your life.
Slow down? in town? anywhere! Arriving ten minutes ahead of yourself is not worth the risk of dying or worse killing someone else.
Read what the others have said, we all go fast sometimes, usually on straight or viewable stretches when there's no one else coming Or going.
No trick, simple, if it all turns to custard you are the only ingredient.
