hey all,
such a beautiful day to ride so i thought i'd take out my 10

saw a nice straight quiet road so i gave it a hit, next thing i no i got sirens going of behind me,

he got me for 20 and over, 4 points and $338.

im spewing!

take it easy mate

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.

Another reason why mid-week rides are awesome.

couldn't agree more ! a Tuesday afternoon is always a good time for a strop.....

you gave the 10 'a bit' and only got done for 20 over? I was expecting 100k over at least

sounds like your due for some trackdays then.

before you lose the lot

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.

well 20 and over is better then 90 and over lol

yea im looking forward to a few track days soon.. and wsid for me if i wanna open her up now.

cant afford to lose my job.

as i told the officer " its a 1000, if i just turn the accelerator im already over the limit" and he agreed.

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.
