Go out to a track day to get your kicks, or take your chances on the road. But, and this isn't aimed at you in particular, don't moan about it when you get caught. You have two choices in life, acceptance or change. And I don't see a lot of gnashing of teeth on a forum getting any change acheived.

I do go to the track. If I was trying to get my kicks on the public road, I'd be going an awful lot faster than 110kph or what have you (well, Hyosung notwithstanding

). Below 100 just feels frustrating when I'm travelling distances, which I do most weekends.

But I concur. I've said it before... if I get a ticket, there's no one else to blame. I know the rules. Doesn't mean I have to like them though.

Whats the point of owning a fast bike then? To ride around on a sunny day at nannas pace and enjoy scenery and commute to work....(yeah there are track days and racing but thats not for everybody, mainly due to lack of organizers and also what do you do in winter???)

You might as well buy a prius or harley....

I choose defiance. Fuck em.

And damn right I'll moan. Preferably to their smug faces.

They should be ashamed if this is the very best shit they can come up with.

You could lose your license with either of those two as well, just not as easily. There are many reasons I ride a bike that could potentially cost me my license on the open road in first gear. And there are occasions where I'll ride at speeds that would cost me my license. However, I'm aware of the consequences. If I get caught, so be it. But I won't bitch and moan about it.

yeah yeah, but you are comparing apples and oranges here....

There is a difference in loosing your licence due to 12,000rpm in 4th...5th gear and this: "We will take action against anyone caught driving more than 4 kilometres over the posted permanent speed limit," - National Manager of Road Policing, Superintendent Paula Rose.

Also what does she fucking know about driving she is a woman!!!

Defiance is all good and proper, but what will it acheive? You'll end up with tickets still, you'll vent, get angry, call the police same names, raise your blood pressure, and then get another ticket. Then repeat the process. I defy the law as well, but if I get caught then fair cop, I knew the rules, I chose to break them, why should the cop get my abuse?
