i wasn't sure what it is, i know its a national but is it 60 or 70 mph for bike. i assumed it was 70 mph but everyone was going at 60 mph. being the clever guy i am i followed them at 60 mph like a lost sheep.
shed some light for me in my tunnel.
PS. how you stop your nose dribbling when its cold?

It's 70 mate, unless the electric signs indicate otherwise.
Can't help you with the nose bit though. I just sniff it up.

LMAO tampons. imagine seeing someone at boxhill hill on a nice sports bike and all the kit, taking off his helmit to reveal two tampons up there nose.
you're on a bike and there are only forward facing speed cameras, it's how ever much noise you want to make in the tunnel. Thats what i do anyway :lol:
It is 70 as Idle Biker said unless otherwise stated

not to derail, but can we just speed straight past forward facing camera's as they cant see our reg plate?

unless there's a highways sitting there Yes.
The Police don't have resources to track down a bike, but if you pass one everyday don't!!!
A guy got done for 100 offenses inc. speeding the day they caught him

I think there was also the one of the guy who used to swear at them, and they caught him the same way. He used the same route every day and wore the same clothing too.
Agreed, on not if you pass the same one daily. Or at least don't speed every time you go past it

I was hoping for an answer to the runny nose, the only answer that I have is to go on smaller roads, it only happens on dual carriageways.
place a neck warmer attached to fishing line over your numberplate then ... Flat out :0)
tug fishing line, to remove neck warmer.. and carry on. Good Speed.

, it's how ever much noise you want to make in the tunnel.
this is the only reason i went through the tunnel today was to see what bike sounds like in the tunnel with my new dual exhaust. Although i didnt go very fast the noise it made under heavy acceleration was immense. everyone one in the tunnel probably heard me.

always go at what you think the limit is, cos most people nowadays don't have a clue.

on the way home some slowed down their car on the A3 to 20-30 for no reason, in a 50. just agrees with you statement.

Are you sure ? are you sure ? please say you are sure, i rode like a right **** throught the tunnel, and wondering if i've going to be done....
went up to 80, but it was not my fault, and the noise my exhaust made is brill and i got carried away.
yup, otherwise i would have a few tickets by now :lol: there are repeat warning signs in the tunnel of speed cameras, and AFAIK there are no cameras in the tunnel them selves-rearward facing ones anyway.
I'm probably heading through there tomorrow so i'll let you know if i see any

Nah - just one. Bend it round like Cumberland sausage the 1 end up each nostril.
Alternative is earplugs ( then you'll need two )
nah, simply put a panty liner across your top lip like a moustache et voila
