I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer (OK in Texas) Sorry, Officer, I didn't realise my radar detector wasn't plugged in. Aren't you the guy from the village people? Hey, You must have been doing 125mph to keep up with me. Well done! I thought you had to be in relatively good shape to be a police officer? You're not gonna check the boot are you? Gee Officer! Thats terrific! The last officer only gave me a warning too! Do you know why you pulled me over? OK, just so one of us does! I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other vehicles around...... That's how far ahead of me they are. When the officer says ''You…

LONDON (Reuters) - Powerful motorcycles could have their top speed capped to try to cut the number of riders killed in accidents, an influential group of MPs said on Thursday. Electronic speed limiters, already fitted on some scooters and high-performance bikes, could be required by law if the government adopts the committee's ideas. "Motorcycle accident rates (Advertisement) are far too high. They have been for 10 years," the House of Commons' Transport Committee said in a report. "It is time to consider radical action to tackle this problem." Many "superbikes" with large engines have devices that restrict top speeds to 186 mph (300 kph). The committee did no…

Hi everyone out there! I lived in the USA for a year, a while back and one of my friends sold me my first bike (the Hurricane) and sorted me with leathers and a helmet for the summer. His helmet had a polarized lense on the visor and I rode with it all summer there! It was fantastic at removing glare and reflections and it was so much better then stuffing sunglasses under my lid! I was so impressed with the lense that, when I came back to the UK and started biking again I contacted him and told him I'd like to bring the lenses to riders in the UK. This isn't a sales pitch to get you to buy the lenses (although orders are gratefully received!!), but if anyone has used…

OK, here are some simple thoeretical physics lessons that may help out the next officer fo the law that pulls you over; Lesson 1: If I am ridding a bike that accelerates more quickly than the average police car, I will move away from a stop quicker than the car. With this in mind if you want to catch up to me, you will have to move quicker to do that. If I (being law abiding and all that) were to accelerate up to 30mph in say 2 seconds and it take you 8 seconds to get there, I will be travelling at 30mph for 6 seconds more than you (are we all ok at this point?) To catch up to me you need to do more than 30mph to close the 6 second gap between us. This does not m…

Hello there ppl, I've just purchased one of these little FZ750 beauties, its a 1991 model, this was to be used as a second bike to my Vmax, thing is, I can't keep off it It's one one hell of a ride and well underated as a serious contender to some newer plastics. After doing all the major checks It took to the road with a mate who has an R1, I was astounded by the performance and on a clear road opened her up and she went well past the 150mph clock, my mate was along side on his R1 and told me he was doing around 160mph, I had to shut her down as we ran out of road and it was still pulling. Now I'm not sure if people still use this forum regularly, but if they …
