    Haha. It was a mobile speed unit parked in the lay by on westbound carriageway. Same one that got me on the same day bout two minutes earlier !! Be careful anyone heading to BSB as Tom says. They sometimes stand on the bridge over The 556 just as you come down the hill into Sandiway too

    Quote "Officers who were investigating the case estimated that had it been necessary for Booth to make an emergency stop, he would have required a stopping distance of 368 metres, roughly the size of four football pitches"

    ....was that based on highway code guidelines or reality?? Fecking hate the press and Police as they just play up to it to get the public vote against bikes! No doubt the stopping distance would have been great but it's probably all bollocks!

    Stopping distance of 368m, really ??, something tells me that officer isn't a motorcyclist or hasn't ridden a modern sportsbike..

    I went to the Raven on Sunday morning and the speed revenue camera van was set up on the A41 to catch people heading towards Oulton Park for the Gold Cup meeting and it's a dead cert they'll be out in force this weekend around the roads to the circuit.
