this is a new record.....2 bans now put into one.


I suppose part of it will come down to the133mph, was this the highest speed you reached or the speed they are going to report you for. If it was a speed trap I guess the figures will be the same.

When I was done last May my highest speed was 128mph, yet, when the wrote me up they did me for an average 102mph over the distance and I got points and a fine. Guess I was still lucky getting points as I was over the 97mph cut off point.

Ed will ya ever learn !

And yes we did keep up a very good pace a couple Sundays ago but as I have said before there are times and places to have fun !

It's not a good Idea to be exceeding 30 40 and 50 limits and Motor ways 90 is more than fast enough !

Ducati riders are obviously a different breed, please don’t conform. The speed limits are an ass made for the near blind, dim witted, day dreaming car driver enforced by an mismanaged, ego driven, opinionated, self serving, police force. 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!
