How do you stay legal?

[Headbanger]

Well you would........on a HD......100kph is pretty scary

Buy a Cruiser... then it becomes about the feel rather than the speed. Nothin like a big V Twin bob bob boblin away under your seat.

Why would you need to break speed limits when you just feel so dam good

There's your solution.Rasslin a big cruza round corners is fun at legalish speeds.Don't need a crotch rocket unless you do plenty of track days.

Excellent. Incidentally down here the twisties consist of dodging cows and sheep on all the straight roads. Might be up your way New Yearish.

Every time I fill up I intend to find out what my fuel consumption would be if I would stay within the speedlimits.................

I will keep you posted in case I ever find out.......

Thank god I work at sea,
No way would I be able to keep my licence if I would be a full time roaduser

I ride a little V-twin and I speed nearly nonstop all in 50k areas, but it's SO hard not to speed when there isn't some car right infront of you!
Drove my car again yesterday for the first time in a little while, and I'm sure I speed more in that now too!

It doesn't help when I have to physically take my eyes off the road to check my speedo on my bike.

[FJRider]

just run..its so worth it, and the adrenaline rush is so good!

As ably demonstrated, its all in the control and use of the right hand... some use it more vigorously than others...

[riffer]

As others have said its about choosing your moments.

If you're in the mood to push the bike, and speed is an issue, you need to find a twistier road.

[Fatjim]

Yep, pick your moments.


From the moment you hop on the bike.......

You don't need to go fast to have fun on a bike. I am cheeky as fuck on a bike, and I will zip through any gap and pass anything whatsoever - legally! Mind you, I have about 35,000 hours as a commercial driver (non-motorcyle) so I can read the traffics mind really really well, so this is not a newbie thing to try. Also I know the law really well, and I know precisely where I can legally pass and where I cannot, AND I'm prepared to tell the cop hes full of shit when I KNOW he is.

And corners ! No slowing below the speed limit ! My favourite 90 degree corner I can now take at the speed limit - yay!!

Watch the traffic and learn to pick cops and speed cameras - they are dead obvious USUALLY. Get a radar detector, not that I have needed one - I just seem to get away with it.

I guess I will still get bitten one day, but until then I don't really care.

I hope it's not a blind corner!

Yeah I've had 4 speeding tickets over the years, 1 I was pulled over the other 3 were from camera vans (2 were from the same one in the space of 20 minutes, the bastards parked it outside Wendy's! Got me going both ways) so I think I've made a pretty good and lucky run of it considering.

Speeding is bad

[Hinny]

Get a Harley.

Wot e sed.

With no screen and the type of engine my bike has I can cruise for ages and only glance at the speedo from time to time - and 90% of the time I'm still spot on the speed.

Around town it's the same, pick the right gear and you can 'feel' the right speed.

Of course at say 180kph (on a closed private road of course) the lack of fairing/screen make for a shit-load of buffeting.

[TOTO]

this is what you need...

[Naki Rat]

Keep within 10-15 km of the limit most of the time but rely on the radar detector to alert me of the nasty little traffic nazi revenue collecting just beyond the passing lane.

To be honest the thought of Joe Farmer pulling out in his tractor scares me a lot more than Mr Plod
