got my 900ss mot'd taxed etc and took it out on road for first time in 2yrs-
within 4miles had 3points and fine- had almost forgotten all about being a criminal apprehended and repremanded at the roadside for going 44mph on a clear dry road between 2 villages
the feeling of joy as i set off again at 31mph with the chain snatching and engine nearly stalling in 2nd gear knowing that popping to the shop was only going to cost me a little bit more than the price of an off season track day
the sad bit is it is the same place i last got nicked going much faster in nicki's car 2yrs ago and for a year and half looked out like a hawk for them but never saw them again till now

A sad sign of the times...
Maybe the track is a better choice all round!

Miles the Law just have it in for you either that or you've used up all your luck.

judging by the way this season has gone so far i think it may be the second option- either that or i'm saving it up for something big- maybe a lottery win

The unmarked Police Honda touring bike was busy on the roads that approach the local bikers cafe (H-Cafe at Berinsfield) he certainly had a few riders.
Although the muppet that left the cafe pulling a wheelie down the dual carriage way then doing a U-turn and returning to the cafe while the copper looked on probably asked for his ticket
Maybe you'll get away with a course, not that I've ever been that lucky.

If only- £100 and another 3 points- 9 in total now- that's the last time I'll ride my bike on a sunday!
