I dont see myself as cool. :lol ..... Just dont brag about what I do. Police riders may have some immunity ref speed limits,if they are on duty, but usually on their own bikes, get same treatment as anyone else.They also have the benefit of much more training than you and I.
Personally if I do speed, its on my own, on roads I at least know well, and its entirely at my own risk.
12 yrs after pasing my IAM , if anything I am more cautious/ slower than ever.I do think that passing the IAM can give you a feeling of smugness and invulnerability ..after all, how can accidents happen now I am so well trained ??.... trouble is, they may still do so. The wise owl stands back, takes on board all the safety points and rides at his or her own pace.
