Why is it safe to do these speeds on a 4 lane autobahn and not safe on a 6 lane motorway.
Not good to speed in built up areas though 90 in a 40 that is bad form.
As for jail time what is this country coming to, (George Orwell was right). Why are you guys buying bikes that will do 160 mph+. Get a Cagiva 125 that will reach the speed limit (if that is your upper restriction). Don’t ride sports bikes and bitch about someone speeding they an uncompromising machine made for such speeds.
I wont even tell you the speeds I’ve done you might wet your pants. PS chicken strips on a Ducati what a crying shame. Get rid of them!


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.
