Managed to get myself flashed this morning on my first ever commute into the city...

On the Jamaica road a little past Bermondsey tube station by one of those little cameras that does both the red lights and speed (was just red lights last time I cycled past). Am I right thinking they're digital so it'll be on its way automatically, likely 38-42 mph range, no excuses barring a van putting its left indicator on when I was alongside (I was in bus lane).

I've only got an SP50 from 2010 on there ATM - 78mph on the motorway, any chance of a course do you think?

To clarify its London and I was on a little CBR125 so bus lanes are ok, when your on a bike it's not ideal to be inside a van and just behind the passenger window when the indicator comes on...well that was my attitude when I cycled to work

Annoying as I've only had a bike (any bike) for a week!

Yep, was 78, still have the ticket somewhere...

M25 between J3-4 clockwise coming back from Bluewater, inside lane with CC showing 80, go past J3 and they must have come from there...(low sun and no traffic) stay in L1 as going off at J4 when approaching a MLM with about 1/2 a mile to the junction, I get pulled over as I take the exit and given the ticket, let me off the "undertaking" when i say i didnt change lanes and was taking the exit but did me for 78mph, I was perfectly courteous throughout, yes sir/officer etc.

Loon, if I do get this one from today and I can find my old 78mph ticket will you pay it wink

Yeah was a marked Shogun, low sun meant I couldn't ID it properly, when it came closer I thought it was a HATO...until it lit up blue...it was late 2010 though
