Where were you when you got done? & sorry to hear you got stung but hopefully it can be a learning curve for you.

as you become a more experienced rider your awareness of your surroundings and ability to constantly scan your mirrors becomes a valuable asset..just cruise around mate..

OMG! 20 over! You're lucky you didn't spear off into a tree and take out a a bunch of little old ladies and a troop of cub scouts on the way.

Just remember "Mirror - signal - manouver" isn't just for changing lanes, but also for launching the farker.

i got done at wallgrove road at horsley park

i was lucky to get 20 and over, becuase he was behind me he couldnt really tell, by the time he caught up i was back on the limit.

lets just say for the speed i was doing, i would of lost it for 12 months easy!

it's a wake up call, stupid mistake, i have to ride according to the limit, i dont want to lose my license.

still got 4 points left to lose so im lucky.

i was going to say as above "a bit" and only 20k over. Dam

Never mind mate, cant do much about it now, just learn that they go fast and cops always hide in annoying spots.

There's your problem. The fun is in the corners, slow down for the straight bits.

From the heading sounded like you highsided.

All things considered sounds like a pretty good result as you kept your licence and the fine isn't ridiculous....

I travel the wallgrove rd daily, they are unpedictable over that stretch, I spotted one hiding in a farm yard driveway in chandos rd off the wallgove,waiting to make a hit, that area is a hot spot.
Sometimes it's as if they are landed behind you through a portal, they just appear.
