From personal experience you do get a reduction in penalty for early pleas.in my case (90 in a 50) I had to go to court to be banned but because I'd coughed for it immediately and didnt try to give them a load of bollocks instead of the 4 to 6 week ban I should of got I got 6 points.

I'm waiting for them to scour this thread and your previous postings about speeding and wheelies. Laughing

Tbh all of this has made me consider growing up a little. I'm 27 in November and all I've done is chase adrenaline and piss my money away on bikes. If I get a big boy ban say over 6 months and it fucks my insurance completely or demand I re-test, I'll probably quit the bike life for a good 5 years and sort my fucking life out.

Might as well start saving for a house while I'm at it. Better late than never.

We all make mistakes mate, I'm in no position to comment.

My advice in one word is REMORSE. Turn up to court in your best suit and really put that word across. With me I wrote a letter to the court which I delivered to the usher and also read out in there. Say things like I'm just glad no one else was involved.

It worked for me in that I got the most lenient sentence but it was true really, I did feel a lot of remorse.

Not trying to justify it. It was deliberate. I hit 134 cause I wanted to go fast for a few seconds on a lovely clear day. Not making any excuses. However, it isn't just black and white and I took a calculated risk as opposed to it being a purely reckless act that endangered everyone and their kittens.

There were no cars present, I didn't put anyone else except myself in potential danger, because nobody else was involved. The bike is a new modern bike that is capable of far higher speeds and is built to handle for speed, it isn't a rickety clapped out un-roadworthy banger with a dodgy MOT. It was a clear dry day with good visibility. Two lane dual carriageway. Dead straight, went on for miles and you could see the rest of it. I hit 134 very quickly, and then immediately rolled off and slowed back down to about 65 after a second or two. Wasn't approaching anything like a junction or roundabout at the time.

I know none of these actual facts matter. The detail, nuance, and context does not matter to the courts. The number is what matters. You are immediately dangerous if you break the posted limit regardless of any facts. Trying to offer some context is considered arrogant because you cannot justify going over the limit for funsies.

It's not like I went that speed for miles and was weaving about playing dodge-ems through cars on a damp windy day.

Officer even said what I did wasn't actually a dangerous act and "If I had a bike like that I'd probably have done the same thing on a day and on roads like this".

Then went on to tell me that there are a couple roads around there (even named a specific one) where people can max out their bikes and cars. Said he was a firearms officer for the last 10 years and that he's seen it all and isn't going to bullshit me with how it's dangerous when it wasn't. He also loved the bike and saw the trackday stickers/commented on the fact that if I'm doing trackdays then I'm probably familiar with higher speeds anyway.

Regardless, I'll just have to suck it up and show remorse in my best suit.
