Hey let's all admit to having committed a serious crime on a public internet forum accessible by all, including (some say) the Police who actually have some members that are able to use the internet!

FWIW I see bikes doing 50 in 30s every day in London; come 2 in the morning, even the black cabs are touching 50 along Euston road / A501 / A40.
I think it can be safe, in the middle of a wide road with good visibility and surface, and a willingness to give up speed at the early signs of anybody else entering the road. Primary reason I don't do it is because it's the threshold for summons in the APCO guidelines. So I do 45 at most. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

Actually, it's 30 because that's the speed at which a human torso hitting a non-yielding solid object has a 50% chance of tearing its aorta.
I'm fairly sure that riding at exactly 30 is more dangerous in London due to frustrations and dangerous overtakes from behind, though.

I don't agree; it would take more than one misjudgement to kill a pedestrian when riding in the middle of a wide empty road with good visibility (which implies a straight road in the city); both you and the pedestrian. A slip will just leave you sliding down the middle of the road, and a slip while straight upright on steady throttle is highly unlikely in any case. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4
