"Indeed well personally I'd remove all speed cameras, ANPR, ULEZ, remove 20MPH limits etc etc. My motorbikes been off the road for about 7 years now but even then it was like you had to make a conscious effort to avoid getting "auto-nicked" for something daft... whilst the really dangerous drivers were not picked up by the tax cameras etc.
Showing boy racers a thing or two was never a problem with 0 - 60 in 2.5S and 186MPH top speed! I still have the bike and it would be nice to get it back on the road some day."
I have ridden motorcycles exclusively for over 45 years, I can't see the point of hauling tonnes of metal around just to go from A to B. My latest is a Honda Forza 350, plenty quick enough for todays roads it is a fantastic bit of engineering and a joy to ride (85/90 to the gallon, electric up and down screen, automatic transmission, comfy seat, I could go on...). I also take pride (a sin?) in staying within the legally set rules, gives my brain something to do in the boring bits. I did have an SUV overtake me in a 20 limit, they didn't notice the Police car behind them, I did. I worry about the situational awareness of most drivers.
