    When my bike lied about remaining range and ran out, I call the AA. Struggling to hear the call taker against the vehicles I asked the call taker to speak up... She asked if I could go somewhere quieter...

    But yes, the fuel arrived shortly after...

    It's barking mad and if it doesn't turn you into a complete loon within half an hour of cocking a leg over the lofty 875mm seat height, I'll eat my Arai.

    My bike isn't that sophisticated, it only tells you how far since the low fuel warning. It will normally do 50 kms, but not that day!

    Because that is where people exceed the speed limit, sorry, safety limit.

    Even though the road may have a 120km/h design speed, be median divided and have the occasional merge lane rather than an intersection. Attractive if you need to write a few tickets or want to impress the higher ups. Much the same as sitting in a passing lane 2m from the live lane pissing everyone off and causing a huge risk to other road users.

    I worked on the Ak Motorways Group back in the 90's, scared the hell out of me.

    Certainly a place for excessive caution.
    yes. if you are standing on the side of a footpath and people walk past they go past you quite fast. Thats only 5 km hr different. Its the same as if you doing 220 and your mte goes past at 225....seems quite fast.
    so yes 100km hr is fast
