Matter of opinion, has PH been invaded by eco types?
Discussion
Hi all.
long time ago it was normal to discuss going very fast indeed, without being considered a bad sort. Now it seems that if you want to make progress, it's a naughty thing. I think we have been infiltrated heavily by "speed kills" people. Am I alone in this thought, or is there going to be an uprising to crush the slowbies from our ranks, and return to the earlier years of thrashdom? redline heaven?
Keep it fast. Keep it safe. Or do I need an underground website for the purists? hey, maybe forum for people with long term membership? I recall a top speed chart, where has it gone? are we too PC ? and FFS, don't overtake me on a built up area, then hold me up on the backroads!

I'm fairly certain that 10PS experiences have proved somewhat thought provoking, so that you wont find the vocal defence of speed which may be higher than appropriate.
Mind you, I've reined myself in a bit in the last five years, so maybe everyone else has too?
I moved from 1000cc sports bike to 650 ordinary (ha ha!) bike. Still hate the eco green types. Cucking Funts. And there is a hell of a lot of them here. The old school are being buried by stealth, and we need to identify the weaklings and delete them from PH. I'll up my click count so the website prospers, just so long as the chaff is removed. They can go to green-is-me.com or whatever. Maybe I DO NEED to start a speed website... and it would have VERY strict membership rules. Perhaps our hosts will permit a limited forum for people who need to speak freely?Mind you, I've reined myself in a bit in the last five years, so maybe everyone else has too?

With all respect, most people grow up and become parents. Therefore think twice about hammering it as being dependent.

A car that handles well is more rewarding to drive spiritedly then a car with mega HP. Straight line acceleration soon gets booooooooooooring after a while. Then again, I have never been the sort to get a hard on by cars doing insane speeds.
Show me a nice Lotus around a seriously twisty set of roads and I'll be able to cancel my Viagra subscription!

ALSO I am not talking about exceeding the limit, just using what is there.

I could be described as an eco type by some on here in that I don't simply denounce the theory of man made global warming and cling to any evidence against it while ignoring the evidence for it just because I love cars and driving fast.
I do like to drive fast but the places where you can still do so are becomming few and far between, not because of cameras but because of other traffic.
We have a plague spreading across our land and it isn't environmentallists, it's retired people in no hurry who bloody dawdle everywhere. I'm sick of being stuck in a queue driving at 25/30mph because the muppet and the front of the line has no where to be. Normally wearing a hat, driving a micra and with cussions on the back shelf. It seems to me that as our elderly population increases our roads are slowing down.
