Mobile cameras are being mounted on bikes, so may be trickier to spot.

I've said it before and i'll say it again, its a police state up there.

My mates put their foot down when they get to Gretna. (ie coming in to england from scotland).

Its not that bad, the NSL roads are generally police free, just make sure you do 30 through the little villages plotted along them.

I do pass a van on the A8 about 3 times a week though Thinking

There was a copper on an unmarked, red Ducati 900ss out and about last weekend in the Crianlarrach/Glencoe area.

They've supposed to have been doing it in North Wales since last year, I've yet to see one though.

They were running a Burgundy Honda Blackbird with a VASCAR on it. Much more of a threat. Exclamation

Rumour had it they had an unmarked R1 too, yet no-on ever seems to have seen/been caught by it on the roads. Perhaps it was a stealth '98 version Wink

Scotland is a police state because your mates say they put their foot down at Gretna? Eh? Thinking
