BigMouth Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Over 100mph on a Honda Goldwing with my feet up on the cruiser boards with the stereo turned up full, passing a couple of fully colour co-ordinated leathered up poseurs crouched over in some sort of racing pose on their GSXRs, whilst griining stupidly at them. Of course when I got to the next roundabout I wobbled around it due to the blancmange suspension, whilst they blatted past. Almost 80 mph in a Skoda! 60 mph in second gear for about 50 miles in a company car when the salesman, whose car it was, told me to take care of it. You don't half get some funny looks on the motorway when you are revving the nuts off it. I drove it for the entire 200 mile journey mostly around the ouskirts of London without using the clutch once, then before giving it back to him I raced it back and forth through the muddiest lay-by you have ever seen.

moorit Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 One of my pals was stopped by the police for speeding on a push bike going down Orchard Brae in Edinburgh at 40mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannock Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 The Herra in a Skoda doing 110 mph on a Monday morning late for the ferry and late for a flight. The back road in Unst is good and straight just a shame about the police house and 40 or is it 30 mile speed limit in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
