Got caught doing 95 in a 60. How did I get caught? Overtaking a marked police car...
I got the biggest fright of my life last week. Out for a quick trip to B&Q in reading and it involves about 10 miles of dual carriageway / motorway. I only get 30minutes for my lunch break so onto the last 5 mile stretch and I red line it in 1st - 5th gear, about 12k in 6th and get off at my exit for work. Not sure what the top speed of a srad 600 is but I was certainly within 5mph of it.
Get off the bike at work and hear the very loud swoosh-swoosh-swoosh sound of a helicopter. Look up and there is a police helicopter hovering above 'me', a lot lower than most choppers fly at! I stand about pretending to do stuff to the bike and then slowly walk into the building and it buggers off after sitting there for 5 minutes. I was sitting at my desk just waiting for a police car to enter the car park. Scariest.moment.of.me.life.
I completely 'whitied'.
So, so glad I didn't get caught. I would have lost literally everything.
