I recall a cycling thread where you did indeed brag about speeding on a bicycle!..above the law and all that .
I am perplexed that maybe on my IAM training / test / training afterwards, my group is the only one that seems to have kept to speed limits....
Its not me that needs to wind my neck in...

Why is it you mention that on your ride outs , you take big overtakes and mention speeding , then take umbrage when I point out such ??..you make a big point about using a lot of speed to make the overtakes...another opinion is that maybe such an overtake was not appropriate/necessary if you needed such speed to make it .Yes , use the power of the machine, but its not a carte blanche. I would preach more a message about using the acceleration difference and natural slow down points in the road to make an overtake, rather than just big speed.It sends a safer message.If an inexperienced rider is not willing to restrain his speed behind slower traffic then it will lead to dodgy overtakes.Advanced riding is not just about going fast ...
