Summer`s here!

[pepperami]

Daylight hours are getting longer and it doesn't seem to be so cold anymore, yippee!

However I can now confirm summer`s here....... the scamera vans are out
Went down the A12 today and there it was + further along, there were two piggies sitting in a V70 on the slip road
And generally lots of piglets on the A12.

Just put it in the back of your head when you go for a spin , nice day + fast run + scamera van = points & fine

Fortunately? I was driving an old diesel Ford Fiesta and would not be able to break the speed limit if I tried

Can't accept that as confirmation of summer, unfortunately.
They've obviously got heated vans for the Bristol coppers, as they've been visible all winter too, from Bristol to Wells.

They do at least give you warning where they are likely to be

Can tell summer is here when the filtering lanes get clogged up (by people who can't filter) and you have bikes taking corners at 20mph below the capability; not even bothering to tilt the bike over.

^ speak for yourself

When we get all the wear your gear threads, then it'll be summer. There did seem to be a lot of pigs out today, saw a number of those roadside checkpoints, must be the one day they decide to leave the station.

I've started seeing Essex Police out and about a bit more too. I've generally been limiting myself to below-summons speeds recently anyway, as I am one of the poor bastards that likes to ride to the conditions (whatever that speed may be) but relies on his licence for a living also...

Speed limit: 20 mph
ACPO charging threshold: 24 mph
Summons: 35 mph

Speed limit: 30 mph
ACPO charging threshold: 35 mph
Summons: 50 mph

Speed limit: 40 mph
ACPO charging threshold: 46 mph
Summons: 66 mph

Speed limit: 50 mph
ACPO charging threshold: 57 mph
Summons: 76 mph

Speed limit: 60 mph
ACPO charging threshold: 68 mph
Summons: 86 mph

Speed limit: 70 mph
ACPO charging threshold: 79 mph
Summons: 96 mph

you can tell when its summer here as the speed camera is on a bike

in the winter he is in a van and can be spotted from miles away

he hides the bike as far away as he can and pops out from behind a bush with his camera

silly man

my mate has a nasty habit of parking his transit van on the path in front and then taking one of his other vehicles to work so he has to move

I'm eagerly awaiting the 'be safe out there guys' and 'atgatt' arguments along with the endless drivel of talk relating to some kind of holier than thou biking community perpetuating my FB news feed.

The more people I meet who ride bikes and have on FB the more I've adopted the attitude of this man

One of the worst things about becoming more experienced and having a faster bike - you're likely to get banned.

When I was on a 125, the blistering speeds it was capable of gave me a thrill, I can't do those same speeds anymore and consider it enjoyment.

If I went on the roads and stuck to every speed limit I would be very very bored. The posted speed limits you can do with your eyes closed. Also you're going faster so hard to see scamera vans as you're too busy looking at potential problems up ahead on the roadside / avoiding shite on the road.

I'll echo the post above, Britain = no fun allowed.
