And hell no - congratulations would not be in order! Though you could congratulate me on the new bike addition to the family any time :D
that would be a novel way to get a new bike, reckon you could pop a new 6 out for me?

what amuses me about this poll, is that it assumes that we ALL speed anyway - just that some of us don't get caught, some get caught once, and some others get caught more than once !!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

which of course we all do, well most of us anyway - after all, doing 65 in a 60 is speeding eh ?? And who doesn't do that on a daily basis, as much by inattention as by design ??
