Sorry to hear this Caines. Was it an accumulation of points or a one-off "over a ton" that did it? Hope the year goes quickly for you.

Ah, bad luck old son. That can't be nice, could happen to a lot of us if we were honest and just luck that we're not in your position. Don't be a stranger

Please tell me its not for accumulation of points as i sent away my licence and 60 quid today for points 7, 8 and 9 and have the N.I.P here for points 10, 11 and 12.

My boss is going to rustle me up a letter explaining that i need to keep my licence for my job and i`m off to see a solicitor this week to get some advice ( i havent sent the second N.I.P back yet ).

Caught at 45 and then 46 in a 40 zone...............bugger it

I have no points on my licence.

That is either because I'm too slow or they haven't caught me.

Does anyone notice the pointy SV is happiest at 46 mph in 3rd?? But yeah its for accumulation of points and exceeding 100mph, either way I would of been screwed. need to get rid of my bikes and car before I get the temptation to just ' nip to the shop '.

I posted on here the other week that I got caught by one of those LT20-20 things doing 66 in a 50, well I got caught again on the M4 doing 105mph, the ****ers were up on a bridge, I saw them at the last second jumped on the anchors but it was too late. I prayed I wouldnt get caught but hey I have.

When its that time of day on an empty motorway, I used to regularly sit at 100mph (Theres no point pretending its not me because im already banned). That is just the speed I was happy at on my bike, I couldnt do 70 mph and if anything the bike feels more stable to me at 100.

Top tip.....

If your on the motorway, always check the bridges! I just learnt that the hardway.

The reason I bought the SV over more exotic machinery is because it is slow. And I ain't fast. No point buying 80bhp you are not going to use. Makes it less likely in getting pulled.

No point getting all moral and saying tut tut because I give it some welly when the mood takes. Just careful when and where.

I'm gonna be losing mine in a month or two, depending on how long these 3 tickets take to go through.
