Some good old rants in there aren't there! Some good points to mind, I wonder if there will be a separate operation in the summer to stop and check all the bikes number plates just to make sure the cameras can read them properly...or perhaps to move on the traffic jam in front of each camera!

To be fair you can easily average way over 50mph from the pub to Macclesfield, you can easily get to 130 on stretchs of it on an ss600.

Not that I would ever condone doing so...

Well, just go north a bit and do Buttertubs pass instead. Just don't extract the urine, because there is no good way to leave the road up there. Amazing though.

I've never really blasted along the straighter bits. I just don't see the point, but I do like a spirited bimble through the bends on a regular basis. Can it be safer constantly looking at your clocks than the road and conditions ? Most of the accidents on there are 50mph or below in the slower corners that catch people out ( like Davey's low speed off in his vid ), but this will lower the rate because people just won't go. It's a shame because I've been riding The Cat for nearly 30 years and love to go over it and Long Hill, then back again, most Monday's in the better months because it's nice and quiet. :(

Fond memories. Ratty
