Its my own fault for sayin my bike was too slow!! ladies and gentlemen your little ulster man got himself a lovely speedin ticket!!:eek: was certainly on the cards that day though! Imagine the scene, lovely day, bike clean and polished, roads more or less empty, a great bking road with fast corners, long straights and a little mad man on his sexy M620!!:mand: Anyway i was in the 'zone', most of you know what i mean! Everything was goin perfect, bike goin well, i felt in control etc... when i saw this class lookin car in front of me, black tinted windows, twin pipes with a very loud noise comin from them, big wide wheels and a badge on it saying VR32 it was the new mad golf!! So i thought mmm lets have some fun here, we were travelling at a rather quick pace at this time already but he was revving like mad just about still in double figures, so i dropped a cog pinned the throttle to the stop and flew past!! :mand: Bout a mile or so later there was traffic so i eased off and just cruised along next thing i know the golf is right behind me and had somehow got some flashing lights and a couple of cops in it!! :eek: :banghead:
Thankfully he was a pretty decent guy (for a peeler) and understood that i was in control and he also said that if i'd over took the traffic in front it would of been more serious, so a 60 quid fine a couple of points and a reminder that im supposed to have r plate up (it was in my pocket) isnt a bad result really, goes to show that if you ride fast but safe and sensible the boys in blue (or green as they are over here) can cut you abit of slack!
LESSON LEARNT-, my bike is fast enough, in fact im gettin a smaller sprocket on the front to slow top end down abit.
PREDICTION- my next ticket will be for wheelies!!:mand:
FINAL THOUGHT- i love my bike, best thing i ever done was buying it!
