    Where do you live? I can think of quite a few UK roads I'd happily do
    that speed on.
    Heh. There is that, of course...

    I'm getting that way myself. I do still tend to stick to 30 and 40
    limits, but not as strictly as I used to. Solid whites I frequently
    ignore, especially in light traffic.

    The babes were looking fine today...
    Well I'm not quite sure what this B12 is doing flat out, something round
    about the mark. The speedo isn't designed for that sort of registration.
    In the cage easy peasy.

    White lines regulations are compulsory for cars and advisory for
    bikes. I still do what I've always done which is to overtake when I
    think it's safe enough.

    Any road bigger than a cart track is good enough to exceed 160mph on.

  11. I'll just ride at a speed which I consider is safe for the conditions
    and circumstances. Anywhere and everywhere. And if that means doing
    40-50 in a deserted 30 zone, or doing 20 in a busy 30 zone because kids
    are running everywhere, that's the way it's played.

    Depends if it still has it's own wildlife sanctuary. Verdi, have you cut
    your lawn?

    It's under control these days; I have a man in every couple of weeks.

    I'd advise you not to visit Nottinghamshire.
    They have all the latest speed detection devices but don't appear to
    fund a Bikesafe programme unlike virtually every other county.
    Obviously I don't know if it's the same authority responsible for both
    policies, but still.
    This is the up side.

    Mr Champion fails to take his subtlety pill for the 5th day running.

    Vince wasn't fast, he just looked like he was going quickly because he'd
    almost no control over what the bike was doing.

    The difference is that Vince was always trying to catch up what he'd
    lost on the open roads by driving like a **** in traffic.
