From a mate on ISC:
Talking with a pal of mine today who told me about the police using an unmarked black fireblade in kent to catch speeding bikers.
he encountered the friendly law enforcement officer on the A20 just out side ashford heading for maidstone. short story is he was riding with a few mates on his duke, when another bike joined the play, nothing mad but hitting 130-140 on the open parts and slowing down to 50 0r 60 for the villages etc.
about 8 miles later the siren and blue flashing indicators come on - and its "good afternoon officer!" time.
the fireblade was equiped with video recoring apperatus which was played back to the 2 riders stopped, showing road speed on the screen, the saving grace was that the officer felt that although thay had been riding at excessive speed they had shown care in their overtaking manouvers and made some effort to slow down for high risk areas.
the officer proposed he disregard the speeding etc and give them a fixed penalty for thier illegal number plates,
well what a result!
but be warned you may not be so lucky!!
BTW, those big bottles of Duvel are REALLY bad for sllpeing
