I happen to live in one of those small-ish cheshire villages. One road in one road out, one pub, one post office, etcetera.
The roads a 30mph with a soon to be 20 mph next to primary school.
And I've got to say, about 75% of the vehicles (bikes included) take no heed of the speed limit. The dual speed humps offer only an obstacle course for the merchant bankers.
Try getting a copper to monitor our roads and your a better man than me Gungha Din.
I agree with the majority of the posters here that it does outwardly appear that bikers are the persecuted ones, but for good reason in a lot of the cases.
Your bikes not legal - you could get pulled and charged
