The only rearward ones are some on the 38, and some other ones up north - I think it might have been A1/M way? They only got approved last year so you wont see many. Front facing ones you can do as you please, but it has been known for police cars to watch out for bikers taking the piss.

Like everything, ride safely and sensibly at a speed appropriate to the conditions.

And fk what Whitehall think is safe and sensible from London!! hehe

Sometimes i wonder why people have bikes, they are very fast, very agile machines, made for going fast, all the goons that say they totally abide the limits at all times shouldnt have a bike imo.


I dont accept fools ripping the arse out it by doing 80 in 30`s etc, thats just pathetic but i get the veiw that theres to many people head hunting on line when they actually do it them selfs but are to ashamed to admit incase they get flamed.

Its the same old sh!te with people saying " oh i was doing such a speed" "ON A PRIVATE ROAD" What bks, we all speed, FACT, its just when and how you are doing it that matters


Speed safely troops, my moto!!!

My mate swears that some of the cameras on this road aren't 'wired up'. However, I'm along there several times a day in car, truck, & on bike , & I don't take the risk...it's all about the fear factor.

Completely true. I only ride a bike for speed. If I had to go at the speed limit I would drive a fking car instead.

There all forward facing so you can blast through on the bike. Thats tried and tested by the way(Not by me honest officer). But you couldn't do that every day cos the cops would just wait for you if you take the pish at regular times every day.

I drive a fking car too.

Pretty much with the same attitude as I ride my bike wink After all what it the point in having a fast car if you don't drive fast?

Drive or ride to your limits is my general get-up, i`ve had a few fast cars. and my newer style r6 wasnt the fastest but certainly not slow, but i rode to my limits and the road limits i was on, not the speed limits, i decide them my self.

Unfortunately i drive now, that being an e46 m3 but the same rule applys, to my limit and thats to when i feel unsafe, not when the sign tells me.

All the t`internet fools that try to be pc are cocks as they no we break the law at somme stage, its just when and how safe it matters
