I was talking about this with some guys outside the mechanics’ earlier. I have somewhat banned myself from looking at any sports bike for at least another year. Ideally, until I am financially competent enough to afford track days. It’s just not worth the risk on roads now. At least, here in the South West, the flow of traffic carries a massive risk.
Someone I know got away with 105mph on the A4 a few weeks ago, but only because the friend riding in front of him got nicked. Traffic cop admitted he was lucky that the conviction would be difficult to get through, or he’d be getting summons like his mate.
