Guess what, we're all dying to know. Speed is so frightening for us clever people... Please, please, let us know. We all want to know what is a real man with real balls (in place of the brain).


:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Thanks for sharing that.

However, you appear to have your head firmly wedged up your arse as you forgot the one important thing about speed: the conditions.

There are hundreds of 40mph limited roads I could name which are perfectly safe to do 90mph on, as a lot of these are straight pieces of dual carriageway that run for miles with perfect visibility, but are marked as 40mph by the council.

I could also name lots of NSLs that are not safe to do 40mph on because the road is badly surfaced, has zero visibility round the corners and you're likely to end up wedged inside a horse rider.

Unless you were there at the time, and I'm guessing that you weren't, you cannot pass judgement on what is a safe speed.

Ah for chicken strips, don't they come in boxes of 3 from KFC?

But in all seriousness, it's lovely to see such a great biking icon as Valentino Rossi posting under an assumed name, and we look forward to you sharing your skills with us again in the future.

:rolleye:

Blimey and I thought Jewelly was a ****!

There's a surprise, he keeps quiet.....

I don't bother with VD. Too many picky people, some of whom are more interested in grammar and spelling, than what contributors are saying. Too many people with chips on there shoulder too.

Think you've hit the point Mav.

We all like the speed buzz and most of us go fast enough, often enough not to wet our pants at the speeds that ducasa boasts about.

There are still loads of places, even in this country, that are far enough away from the attention of speed cameras, the long arm of the law, built up areas, schoolkids crossing etc...

Places far out in the country where you can ride your bike pretty much as fast as you like, or as fast as you dare, and where the only person who's at risk from your antics is yourself. Lots of us can, and do, open it up and exploit the performance of the bike in those conditions.

There's a time and a place for everything, but 90 in a 40 is just taking the ****, and 133 on a motorway considering they are usually festooned with cameras and just about the only places you'll find a traffic cop nowadays is just being thick.

Mav and Jools just about sum my feelings up on this one.

Jewell, dont know you mate but for heaven sake you need to cool it a little. If not for your own sake then for others on the road. Wouldnt fancy being out with the kids in the car anywhere in your vicinity when your frame breaks in 2 at 130 + mph.

Ducasa, dont know how you can generalise speed limits as you do. Some are there for very good reason. As for "dim witted, half blind, daydreaming car drivers" well its not them killing themselves left right and centre this past few weeks in the Dales/Cumbria etc. The spate of bad accidents and fatalities up here since the weather got better is mostly motorcyclists. Get the same thing every year people wheeling their bikes out for the first ride of the year and binning it. Maybe some of them also obssesing about getting rid of their chicken strips? Unless youre riding a drag bike I dont think you will reaching any speeds that would cause most members here soiled pants.
