    Its a hysung so giving it heaps would have been about 80kph. You should've tried this excuse on the cop. lol

    Welcome to the club, pal! I got my restricted and my first speeding camera ticket on the same day.
    "People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule

    Yes about 80km/s was all i could give it, but the noise from the bike made it sound a lot faster. I regret it now, but it is fun to listen to it without exhausts. Yes, let this be a lesson to all of you :P

    Bugger, i checked and didn't find they took demerits for this. I'm guessing they will send me a letter in the mail telling me?

    lol.

    *Must remember to NOT ride around with my baffles out at 1am with loads of cops around & then try speeding away from one after I pass it so to draw attention to me braking the law for multiple incidences including not being licenced to do so*



    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    While the your story does engender sympathy, and you did have bad luck,
    on the other hand you lergely created the bad luck yourself.

    At least your story wasn't one long whinge like many on here. It seems that you do realise that you stuffed up, so there is hope

    Don't get too enthralled by the sound of the exhaust. A guy I know used to like his exhaust note so much he rode with his head turned so he could hear it better. Eventually, and fairly predicably, he went straight up the arse of a car.

    When he got out of hospital and got his bike back he was so pleased to be riding it he did exactly the same thing again. Exactly! Straight up the arse of another car.

    Yeah, i don't think i'll be riding the bike after 10pm for quite some time
    Luckly i don't want to go deaf in one ear, so the pipes will stay on from now on. An expensive way to learn a lesson

    With the exhaust system removed it would have been running like a bag of arseholes, so probably not far wrong.
    Not to mention potentially harmful to the motor.
