We got the trials last night in Glasgow coming back from the IAM meeting - 40ish in a 30 - glad to say we only got signalled to slow down. The plods aren't all that bad - as they probably should have pulled us all in.

The ironey isnt lost on me either :rolleyes:

Same old same old this sort of scare tactic at the start of the summer season. Go out convict a few making them think twice and scaring them into taking it easier in the nice weather. They'll tell their mates of thier experiance, and those folk will tell thier mates that so'on so got nicked etc and the list goes on. Nowt slows you down more than thinking is plod around the corner, (except a wall - they slow you down pretty quick too).

not as much of a scare tactic than a reality check mate-if it means that even one biker eases back a wee bit at the start of the "season" and it saves one bikers life, its worth it.

Hence my quip about the wall.
Its no secret that riders taking it steady are less likely to crash (badly) as opposed to those riding like nutters, but its the same sort of time every year you read/hear of these campaigns. Aimed at getting the message home at the start of the summer season when all the weekend warriors start coming out destroying verges and dry stone walls.
I dont disagree with the principal of the campaigns and no disrespect to the OP but if you're riding in a way that an article 5hits u up then you need more than a reality check - you need the scare.

EDIT: To expand, if you're a hoon-loon then you're gonna hoon regardless of that article. The only people it'll hit home with are those who enjoy a bimble with the odd rush of blood to the wrist IMO not the target audience

I was talkig 40 ish as is still under 40 -and the ride back doesn't count for IAM standards - thats play time!
We can't all be be good all the time!!

There's a Jag xf lurking around Stirling and was outside Glasgow today. Only hint its police is wee strobes behind grill. Have noticed its keen on the old baiting tactics to get speeders....
