Speed limiters for powerful motorbikes?

The twat this morning knew precisely what he was doing - I could see him looking in his mirrors and approaching the stop line really slowly, moving from side to side as I moved to take the different gaps ... twat!

If I ever get given 24 hours to live, I'm going to spend it all on the bike, with a jemmy in a back-pack, looking for twats like this and beating the fuck out of their BMWs (it's usually fucking BMW's ... was this morning again ...)

I have to say that one of the nice things about making room for (or giving way to) a bike is that they are almost invariably very polite and show their gratitude. It can be rather galling to go out of one's way to give a car a way through, only to have them grind past, staring fiercely ahead with nary a sideways glance.

There are some two-wheeled pillocks, but it won't surprise anyone here when I say they generally seem to be very young pillocks, riding sub-125 or - worst of all - sports mopeds, or whatever they call them now.

In fact, I think that the standard punishment for anyone pulled over for riding like a pillock on one of those scooters should be to force them to get straight onto a GS1000 or similar with a sticky throttle and insist that they spend the next day (they'll never last that long) riding in the same way.

Looks like problem isn't getting any better:

Police target motorbike riders with a road safety campaign, after four fatal crashes in Wales within a week.

Looks like problem isn't getting any better:

Not really Ed

You always get a spurt of crashes when the weather changes in spring,

Harsh, but jumping on a bike again and going balls out after a 6 month weather layoff is just another oppertunity for the idiots to cull themselves

Problem is the mess they leave for the rest of us via fucked up accident stats which are then used to beat us up

Actually, at least the article you quoted is showing the local cops doing something a bit more useful than the usual "bikes are bad, mkay!" line beloved of that cunt druid running the NW wales force.

Observed rides are an excellent way to see if you are really as good as you think you are, one problem is that the sort of wanker that would gain the greatest benefit wouldn't be seen dead near bike coppers or the IAM in the first place
