Never mind a speed limit free road, one where I could do a consistant 70 would be a start.

Uk drivers are the worst in europe. No chance ever of any loosening of the noose that we adhere to. If anything it will go the other way in the future; Motorway bus lanes (ala M4). Lower speed limits because the band wagon politicians will be fattening up on the back of a fuel shortage.
Also it would not give anyone an excuse to go to germany .

hmmm Autoban on british roads sounds like a good idea But

how many time during your avarage day do you get to 70mph ???

Also if there was no speed limit the goverment would put in place variable speed limits and cameras so they would be racking it in !

EU want us to have singles with no more than 50 bhp so if the story in the MCN is true then I will sell the bike and by a big 4x4 !

It will obviously never happen in the UK but part of my (twisted) thinking was actually around REDUCING accidents....

Instead of Jonny Gixer 1000 doing a totally unsafe 120 down a country lane - he might just go and push it flat out down our (potentially 'safer' ???) Autobahn - scare himself silly and ride a bit more safely elsewhere?

High speed commuting as well though? How about making it bikes ONLY
