Been away too damn long.....4yrs http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/plthumbsdown.gif It's just when I've been back on holiday, the number of speed cameras seems to increase. What the fuck is the world coming to ??......when I was back in the UK I hardly used the car because there was so much damn traffic, now it looks like I won't even be able to ride a bike without some fucking speed camera snapping away.

speed camera's are a bloody nightmare they have increased massively in 4 years that you have been away http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/plthumbsdown.gif. There's simply no escape and there are loads of portables too and there are even bodies who use the cameras and pass the info back to the police http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/piss.gif.
The cameras simply generate too much income for the government and will force far too many off the road I reckon. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/bash.gif
As endorsements run for 4 years you can only 'afford' one speeding ticket per year unless you fancy a ban. That'll mean stresses on pubic transport and less money for insurance etc. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
I reckon it will run full circle and will need to be reconsidered. Maybe to open some roads privately with no enforcement, hey how about the 'chargeable' section of the M6? http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
The state of play over here is absolutely crpa. I might go green laning like everyone else and might throw a few track days too, that's the new UK, well until they are stopped too. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/spit.gif
Even on track days there's strict enforcement for noise, so that race pipe might be too loud to race with after all WTF ! and green laning pees old farts off too, we are doomed unless we stand up and shout in my opinion.

Euston road in central London. Good for 90+ through the traffic and more at 2am. Hit the Euston undrpass going east at 80+ on the throttle and wheelie to the bottom, 120+ and take air. Make your own fun on all roads.

keep to the back roads and behave through the villages.I'm not in London but I can show you a few roads around north essex.Colchester to Burnham's a good run,always a good meeting place at the cafe in Burnham lots of bikers meet up there on a sunday morning,including plenty of Londoners
