Every morning... between 5am and 6am a Biker rides down the Andover Road from the Gun to St Johns at 100MPH plus. This has been going on for 6 months. He will kill himself.... or some poor old soul out to buy an early Newspaper soon. Just saying...... Thing is... the speed he is going at I can't see the fuzz ever catching up with them unless they have an eye in the sky! Anyone else heard / seen this Biker?

QUOTE (Nothing Much @ Sep 18 2015, 01:49 PM) They have "unmarked" Police bikes on Norfolk roads. Sundays....to try and stop them. They race from town to town. Noiser than the Tornado jets heading for RAF Marham Do they still have singing postmen in Norfolk CE?

QUOTE (Biker1 @ Sep 18 2015, 04:27 PM) What, they slow from 100mph+ to 30 and then back up to over 100 again?? I've certainly seen vehicles do just that for this speed camera - I couldn't say what speed exactly, but significantly fast. A decent bike will decelerate from 100mph to 30mph in much less than 100m, and accelerate back in the same kind of distance, so it's quite possible on this stretch of road if you're inclined to do it.

Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

QUOTE (HJD @ Sep 19 2015, 03:02 PM) I think Biker1 is a probably quite a law abiding rider, a bit like myself I expect ! And while I think this person is a 1st class idiot who deserves to be caught ( If he is actually doing 100 mph !! ) & who gives the rest of us a bad name, the road is probably very quiet & hardly busy at that time of morning. I personally think the loons in their souped up Peugeot's & Cleo's etc. who race round local villages where there are young Children playing are just as bad if not worse . Careful, you will have motormad giving you grief about that latter comment.
