Speeding
Absolutely gutted! Picked up a second speeding ticket in 2 months and like most working people I cannot afford to lose my licence.
I ride purely for recreation because riding a bike quickly is a tremendous amount of fun. I can't imagine owning a bike and sticking rigidly to speed limits, 60 mph feels like you're standing still on some roads. Now I'm scared to take the bike out in case I get another one. How do you guys enjoy a quickish ride and avoid getting banned? My mate suggested getting a 'Road Angel' or similar device, or a track bike and forget riding on roads. Dunno what to do about this :( |

Re: Speeding
Use little B roads and stick to 30/40 limits unless they're in a stupid place and there's nowhere for a copper to stand..
If you're blasting along at 90mph on a big A road with places to hide, then expect points to come. |

Riding quick in a straight line takes no skill & isn't as much fun as getting the bike leaned over in the bends. Get off the main roads & get on the twisty B roads and develop your cornering skills. |
Re: Speeding
I'm obviously more 'switched on' when on the bike. I would consider myself quite a quick experienced rider and have never been caught in 30 years of riding, yet twice for speeding in the van in the last six months.
****ed off with both of them as they were marginal........59 in a 50, got a speed awareness course for that, then bugger me I got copped again 79 in a 70, £100 and 3 points please sir. Welcome to Wales. |

as others have said, get off the main A roads and get onto the back/single track roads as its much more fun and you will learn new skills. |
Re: Speeding
Were you caught by a fixed camera, a mobile camera van, or a copper with a laser gun?
