Anyone here make the list? Looking at it I get the impression that some people just aren't that good at choosing their time or place.

The poor old mainlanders struggle to make it into the top ten again.

Maybe we understand what time and place means.

Pretty low speeds really overall aren't they? I'd clock in excess of that that top speed almost every decent length ride I went on.

Wasn't there a guy in a BMW 750 clocked doing over 200 along the northen motorway early last year?

They are pretty unexciting speeds which is party why I posted it up, I guess the reality is that people are sesible enough to not push the limits in places where the po-po is likely to be. Unlike the idiots who made the list and tried it on SH1/2.

Pretty much. Wonder if those "results" are bad timing or bad luck. (SH25 in the middle of summer, come on!)

Come on people, you're not really trying, are you?

There was a guy clocked at over 200k north of Otaki last year to, but there are two reasons he didn't make the list;
1/ Clocked by cop not camera
2/ never caught

Oh the shame of all those zombies the cameras did nothing to slow down.

[Swoop]

Looking at those (slow speeds) it is safer to speed in the morning.

[Big Dave]

Why were they riding in second gear?????

Yeah, used to be. But I've seen just one there in the last three years trundling past there every day. Two, counting the one lurking at the new waterfall road turn off.

E31 BMW 850Ci at some silly speed.

Those speeds aren't as high as I expected
