You are absolutely right in saying that we should keep within the 30 mph limit in built up areas but to advocate going no faster than 60 seems incredible coming from motorcyclng enthusiasts.

I drive for a living. No license no job, it's as simple as that. That and the things I've done and seen over the last 30 odd years of driving / riding do colour my judgement towards excessive speed.
That said, if I'm out on the bike and it's a sunny day I will use my common sense as to whether it's safe to up the pace a bit, but as all of my riding is done in North Wales where 1mph over will get you a ticket, I think it's pointless to go above 60 on a long straight, which is where any camera vans or traffic cops will be.
I'm quite happy for all the fast boys to play racers on the popular routes and keep the cops busy writing tickets so that I can go and play somewhere quieter and twistier.
