How often do you speed?
Never. I go 15MPH below the limit, just to be sure.

Very occasionally, but only by accident. I go home and cry afterwards.

Every now and then, but if I find myself going to fast I screech to a halt and push myself the rest of the way.

I speed most of the time. But I try and keep near the limit in dangerous places.

Pretty much everytime I go out on the bike or car, if the journey involves a NSL or motorway.

I think the question should be: When do you really speed? Twisted Evil

Never really

6points = No licence, bikeing means too much to risk it just to get somewhere 3 miuntes earlyer (unless i was on fire or needed snake anti-venom or something)

One thing though...

On my speedo 66 is actually 60mph
77 =70mph
e.t.c.

So i tend to aim for these if i really need to be shifting...

There is a time and a place.

For me the time is when I get on my bike. The place is where I am.

Overtaking traffic at a standstill is always more fun. Get to 50mph then having to emergancy brake and slip into a gap to miss a oncoming bus by inches. Is there really a better way to get to college?

How about, 'how often do you breathe?', that would be as enlightening.

Never really look at the speedo to be honest I judge by my surrounding's and mood and go from there obviously if its a well known camera spot i check my speed. Smile

I tend to go only 10mph above the speed limit.
My bike is most comfortable at 60-80, so i dont go any faster.

Id like to think i will still do nothing more dangerous than this if i get a bigger bike but I suspect I will be going faster. I hope Ive got enough skill to hang on to my life and my license.

As exhilarating as speed is I tend not to get caught up in it, blink and you're in ban territory.

i ride how i like and rarely feel i'm been dangerous to other people (because 150+ on a single carrigeway could be dangerous to me) but, if my latest speed camera photo comes through, then i don't think i'll be riding very fast atall!

What's the punishment likely to be doing nearly double the speed limit? Embarassed

Looks like Binge may loose his title!

I'm surprised by how much i do speed considering my bike will only do 60 and takes about a week to get there!

Speed occasionally, but only when the road/conditions apply. I like to have fun through the twisties where I have to work for my speed, but all other limits are obided by - and I keep within 10mph or so on bypasses (notorious for catching straight line speeders).
