If it helps anyone for future fixed place speed cameras (gatsos etc) can only monitor 1 lane even if markings are on both sides, if you can nip over the white lines your unlikly to be cought. I didn't know this untill i followed a mate through one, he swerved to the other side of the road and i went stright through and ended up with 3pts and £60 fine! >:(
Glad to hear nobody was seriously hurt
Steve, I can't believe how badly those leathers fell apart. At least as you say, you've walked away from it without any lasting damage to yourself.
I can vote for doing your research in to leathers though as I don't fit in to off the peg leathers really and hence why I went down the made to measure route. For me, I chose BKS because of the reports I had seen in various articles and after seeing how they stood up to me coming off twice at Silverstone I am glad that I spent that extra bit of money. My leathers, although scuffed, are still fine and all of the stitching is still in tact so they can definitely live to see another day.
Steve, according to folklore if you had accelerated to 181mph you would have fooled the camera anyhow. ;D
Might as well be hung for a sheep........etc pop a wheelie, smile for the camera and give them the bird
Ok,motors out,ready to be stripped! :)
A top motorcycle mecnic has offered to do the job for me so a sigh of relief there.....Wasn't looking forward to doing it myself! :o
