Speeding, how have you been caught on your bike ?

[hornetmike]

Just wondered which methods get bikes ?

Where is the never been caught or been caught with multiple types option(s)?

[mysterious_rider]

Yeah I'm counting myself lucky here. Always on the lookout for old bill.

If you cover your mirrors, assume every car is a cop. And look out for fixed cameras and camera vans, and also handheld cameras you should be ok.

Better to speed in places you know.

1 pleb actually got caught by a fixed camera? They didn't see the fuck off big yellow box?

I've been done by a fixed camera before but got off with a speed awareness course.

My points are from a PC at the side of the road, 86 in a 50, £400 fine and 6 points. Ouch.

Just to point out, mine was one of the Limehouse Link tunnels just leaving London. Far from obvious, first time I'd ever used the tunnel and I was trying to read a sign where the tunnel splits.

No wide open road for me!

Stupid poll, all the methods you have included in your poll 'gets bikes' either on the stop or with a nice letter in post .

[nightshaddow]

been pulled over 2 or 3 times

latest on my cb 125 got pulled over doing 78mph on a duel carriageway, in fairness he didnt pull me for my speeding (no points or fine) he pulled me over as my insurance didnt show up on his anpr, quick phone call by plod and me showing the direct debit from my account on my phone he was happy and told me to watch my speed i was a tad fast,

luckily he was a biker and said these little machines can over/under read easily

Been stopped directly for speeding twice by marked traffic cars. Both times using VASCAR, both times hidden up sideroads where they couldn't be seen until you were already past them. 3 points and £60 fine for 98 on a motorway. A referral the the fiscals office then nothing further heard for 95 in a 60 limit.

Stopped twice by on-foot coppers with a handheld gun. One was just chancing his luck because I'd seen him and thrown out the anchor in time so I was lippy as fuck.

The other got me as I whanged round a corner doing 60 in a 30 limit having just overtaken someone. Got let off because they were impressed by my braking skills. He said he was getting ready to walk down the road and give me the "What if I'd been a small child who'd run out in the road." lecture but I went and stopped before I got to him.

It would appear I also totally burned off a traffic car one time too but I didn't know I was being chased until he went honking past the side road I'd parked up in.

Got done ages ago by an unmarked Pan Euro, 53 in a 40. All his equipment was very well hidden - the black bike, black leathers but white helmet raised my suspicions so I had a look over the bike when I passed him but didn't see anything

Pulled a stoppy at the lights, and a wheelie away from them and got a right bollocking for it

Empty motorway in Denmark 7am in the morning on my birthday - got measured over a stretch of about 25 miles at 186Kph - I had to stop at the end of the motorway because it ended in a roundabout that was blocked by a truck moving a windmill wing .. cost me about 900 quid .. only one I ever got though so not complaining really

Q: Why Michael47? A: 0-46 was taken!

[Dazbo666]

Riding daily for 7 years, never been caught on the bike.

Driving for 20+ years, only caught once by a handheld for 46 in a 30(slowing down from NSL road - but apparently didn't slow down quickly enough )

Either I'm very careful / lucky, or I just drive and ride like a granny - I suspect it's mostly the latter

Got pulled over on my GSXR 750 WN by an unmarked police car on the A2. Got let off with a warning!
Speed they had me on their video was a lot less than I was doing 2mins before they pulled me, which was rather lucky!!

Assuming in the next 6 days I don't get a NIP, I've never been caught on the bike. In the car, a mixture of camera van and unmarked car.

Got caught once, guessin its a gun.... Was a 30 zone - doing 36 - With a 50 a few yards ahead however my partner then was in the car in front, Yet she never got a ticket

[bikertomm]

[janner_10]

36 in a 30 - bit harsh!
