I'm guessing that means my offer of £50 for your bike is no good?

I'll sweeten the deal: I'll chuck in some packs of noodles (I'm back at Uni, that's all I'm eating!)  :lol :lol

Don't forget the project bike. With his time off the road Nick will have it rebuilt and painted and nice yellow.

I got done recently.

Just directly South of Inveraray (Argyll) for an average of 79mph over 3/4 mile being followed (rather closely) by an unmarked  police car.  No VASCAR just some timing unit in the car.

I put my hands up, was polite etc but all they were interested in was getting the ticket out as quick as poss.

3/4 mile doesn't give you much of a chance.  It's about that point I start to think, who's this clown following me and start to get suspicious.

Also I came up behind them coming out of the town, and sat behind them at the traffic lights before the hump back bridge, when the lights went green they sat there for a good few seconds.  I think they are just out there hitting KPI's.

Anyway if you are out and about in Argyll, it's a burgundy Audi A6 estate based in Dunoon, and it's busy.  Guess there's not much else for cops tae dae in Argyll.

Good to hear you've hung on to yer license Nick.

Glad to hear you've kept your license Nick .

Thanks folks. Actually, my biggest worry was the costs if I'd had to have attended court in Wales, so it's a relief that they saw fit to deal with it in my absence.

And Christo, I know you're at Uni, and you have to experiment with all these things, but you really ought to stop taking those drugs mate  :lol

I've just noticed how over active I've been on the reply button. For which I'm truly repentant

We do obey the limit

It's not that 60 is too high a limit, it's just that there are some lunatics who seem to think that's not enough  :eek

These are the reports that are doing my fat swede in..........no mention whatsoever that there has also been a big increase in car driver fatalities....no mr news and no mrs charitable do gooder lower limit gimp.....lets just pick out what we wanna pick out and make bikes look bad


Dragging this up just to be a whinge.


But case in point to my beef with the way that mitorbikes are singled out.......although i specifically mentioned this in another post that i cant find now but anyway here's another report of a bad crash in Wales.


Involving "vehicles"


By vehicles they mean anything other than a bike because they dont wish to single out that particular vehicle for bad press and nastyness.




even though a bike is a "vehicle" it would have specifically stated and over enphasised the fact that motorbikes had crashed if that had been the case.


Im telling yas......its a conspiracy :grumble

Earlier i drove the truck back from Craven Arm,A49 and there was a speed camera van tucked in along a 60 mph straight where you have already travelled about 1/2 mile of straight ,he was well hidden,,i guess he would of hd most bikes and alot of cars,,sneaky bugger,,,and definatley not a dangerous stretch of road,,,,will be a few tonight thinking,,"when will it arrive in the post?" :'(

Yep, just like down here in Hampshire where they're busy dropping lots of National Limit roads to 50mph, the people that they want to target are not going to pay any attention to that change

[nick crisp]

Well, as we all know, ALL accidents are cos of excess speed  top  :rolleyes

But oh look, if we drop the speed limits, we seem to accidentally make more money from fines  :think
Who would've thought it?

:grumble
