Doesn't the possible consequences of that concern you ? or is that part of the pleasure, the 'beating the system' type thing?

Letss face it, i've been 140+ on the road lots of times, and the only thing you find yourself with for that is 4 weeks in a 8x8.

i very rarely look at my speed when out on a ride apart from in 30 and 40 limits when i stick to them. but when i do occasionally glance at the speedo to see 130 or 140 odd is not uncommon, mostly on single carriageway A and B roads.
it is very easy to get used to these kind of speeds but the roads, and especially other road users are not dialed into them.
