Pulled over by the rozzer's... was doing 85mph...

I did the IAM. However they just hound you for Cash afterwards , even
asked for a direct debit payment the cheeky sods.

Thinking of doing the ROSPA as it seems a little more advanced , graded
results and resit the test every 3 yrs.

RoSPA bronze is the same as the IAM test pass. But yes, it gives the
opportunity to gloat even more, in a "lookat me, I'm better then you -
officially" kinda way, by getting graded as silver or gold.

"Yeah, I saw you coming up behind me and you know how Volvo drivers are
dangerously clueless cunts, so I felt it was safer to be further away
from you...actually... nevermind - no, no reasons."

or alternatively...

"Sure, you boys didn't paint the car properly, I'd never have done that
if I'd known you were old bill..."

Bound to get you off next time.

HTH.

 

Yeah, I don't rate the IAM much. I'd like to go for the RoSPA gold
this year though )

<puzzled>

What bits?

 

It was just as I was pulling out, the last10'...

 

Nice ZXR750 H1? you have there Mr Burnt. It was good to see you again.

 

The road down to Verdun had quite a few instances of solid lines that
seemed utterly pointless.

 

Ah, I didn't do that road.

 

No, that is why the rozzer's gave me a ticket...

 

Fucking hell. I'm shocked. Someonee actually feel that road markings
have a reason.

I put it down to the council having a large paint budget which they have
to spend before the end of the financial year or lose it in the next
one.

Having said that, I try to observe the rules.

 

Well, I sailed through that at 90-100 on the ZXR and didn't see a single
police car. Once I got through Calne I felt relaxed enough to up the
pace.

However they're really fucking up the A4 there's a *lovely* sweeping
bend about a mile from Chippenham that's just peachy at abouyt 80-90
which the cunts have now re-rated from NSL to a 40. Sure there's a pub
at the exit of the bend but even so...

Tough? I don't find it tough I find it impossible. I mean how can you
do a sustained 60 anywhere on a bike?

 

Couldn't agree more; I've been applying that argument for years.

The problem is that I don't remember that well; for example the centre
of stroud was an NSL in 1980 wasn't it?

 

Hmm, I suppose I can't argue that I try to stick by the rules but fail?

 

I have to say that I did struggle with Burnt's last sentence - didn't
quite align to the tales of derring-do on two wheels. Your response
summed it up nicely.

 

What would you suggest for mobile enforcement though? I went up to
Redditch yesterday to pick up some stuff - as it was I needed to go
early (as in 5am departing home early) and I had a lovely ride up to
Stratford, ignoring most of the limits (most of the roads are now 50
limits but were safely navigated by me at 80+ on the up) - on the way
home the Camera van's had woken up (7:40 start - pretty early on a
Sunday - luckily people coming the other way warned me about it) and
that put a real downer on the rest of the ride.

Observation from then on meant I wouldn't get caught, but it takes
focus from enjoying the ride to trying to check every layby as I
crested hills to see if I could crack on. That's not much fun.

IN the end I came off the A44 and just did some unmarked/B-roads home
instead.

So I agree with your idea that 50's are, on the whole, daft - but the
prospect of getting nicked when riding safely makes me rather angry
about it all - not only because the van was on a straight bit, but
because it's just no fun riding at 53mph.

Of course I didn't see a single 'real' Police car, so taking my number
plate off would have worked fine. Maybe that's the future "it just fell
off".

 

They shoot at you here for that.

"The motorcycle is described as champagne colored"

ZX-10R, then.

 

Fucking psychotic cunts. For doing 85mph, ffs.

 

Ah yes, ok. I'm a thick ****.
