Speed is for motorways and A roads, otherwise speed limits around residential areas unless really unessciary.

I try to make those little signs that flash your speed come up with 3 figures , its a fun game Also going towards a Police car at full whack knowing they cant see your plate as its at the rear. Only on non traffic ones as they have cameras facing rearwards. And a tip for those in Wiltshire thay are the BMW,s and Honda accords.

Not saying I haven't cracked well over the ton in a 30 myself, but I was a hell of a lot younger - to give you a clue, I was on a GSX750EFE and it was a nearly new bike. Nowadays I wouldn't dream of it because there's just too much that can go wrong in such a short period of time in a 30 limit.
