Surely they cant measure speed as the wheelbase of different vehicles is very different. What happens when an artic crosses them, bump bump bump bump bump bump

Agree the Ardennes/Eiffel is great. Tmation, I had a google of that place but it seems a bit remote, so no bars/restaurants or nightlife I can see?

My reason for saying that being that in a car I had a terrible juddering when braking heavily from speed, yet normal braking at normal speeds was unaffected. Turned out the discs were badly worn and replacing them was the cure. Now I assume am MT, a couple of years old won't have worn discs, so I mention warped. Possibly just slightly untrue just enough to give the heavy braking symptoms.

Just a thought, are you changing down as you do this?, the rear will lock up quite easily due to the strong engine braking.
Nope I rarely do that. If I change down usually I don't use the brake until last few meter before stopping, because the engine braking is very strong on MT09.
That happens only when I need the brake - something happens and I need to use the front brake in a sharpish way.
Update today I was overtaking few cars with 70ish or more and I was in the opposite lane while doing that. The lane was straight and free more then 500-600 meters ahead. A car has popped up from a driveway in front of me in the lane. Luckily there was enough distance. The front brake was pulsing hard at the lever when braking from speed and the whole front was jumping like going through speed bumps.
Any ideas?
I'd put some money on warped disc.

Bob, I've got my MIL online banking so I can nick it before the scumbags do!! Seriously though, she now runs everything past us before jumping in anywhere so fingers crossed she wont get caught. I do appreciate the awkwardness of helping the inlaws with their financial affairs  Maybe you could do a door to door of their neighbours to see if anyone saw any sign written vans owned by the cnuts?

A game of words I guess, but can't understand the joke. 
You probably have to be British to get it - or aware of the Thames Barrier. It's a giant gate that swings down and shuts off the river Thames preventing London flooding. So it could be called a dam when in place, hence the ramadam pun!
