as an addendum, to Matt's original topic....
we have from the yewessofay...

http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandfork ... 746097.htm

and the best bit....?
where the talk is about reducing a reckless driving charge
coz' he's 121mph (190kmh) over the speed limit.....

The scariest part...
"They note that if the trooper who timed Tilley were off by a half-second which critics say is possible given variables such as the altitude, speed and the angle of approach of his Cessna it drops Tilley's speed to about 185 mph."

State Trooper "PILOT" ?? Hope we dont get them here.

I dont think he cracked the 200mph mark, an i wonder which is more dangerous holding the Radar gun (allegedly Cancer inducive) or steering a Cessna light aircraft with your knees while you hold onto a stop watch.
Cheers Brett

hehehe I remember when we used to have the cops flying around in light aircraft timing people on the highways...I seem to remember they were referred to as "Pigs in Space"...

ummm Mick
the Bass Hwy on the way to the Island, has these white stripes painted across
it, so that OUR pigs in space can time you on your way there
and then tell the bloke on the white bike with the blue flashing lights
that the ideeeeot on the Kawahondayamazuki is doing 197.459 kmh
(according to his stopwatch) past Tooradin...and to book him

scary itsn't it!!!

Did it in Northern NSWs too. Lines are still there on the Narrabri - Moree route.
Cheers Brett

You guys still have them down there? Geez I'm starting to wonder if it's worth coming down for the GP ever again

Just gotta know the goods roads. Possibly going to go for a squirt on GP Saturday. The more the merrier.

not a bad idea matty.

might be in for that

Let me know the details when you've got them sorted Matty, I'll see if my mates are interested...I can't exactly ditch them to go on a ride without getting heaps of shit piled on me later

...plus we probably won't even get in till around lunchtime Saturday

Be careful boys & girls.........
I got my 3 points and lots of dollars on the Saturday of the superbikes.........I can't understand why the poleece bother with putting reflective markings on their cars when all they do is f**king hide 'em in the shrubbery

The rider's side of the story...
