| 1127250 | 2010-08-12 11:09:00 | "my speedo doesn't work" isn't really plausible. You notice when you're going over 150. At 200, you would need to be an idiot not to. I can't vouch for anything past 200, but I can only imagine... |

| 1127252 | 2010-08-12 12:20:00 | So if only earning $100 per week you would pay a lot less than if earning $1000 per week for the same speed? | Snorkbox (15764) | ||

I can't vouch for anything past 200, but I can only imagine... At 220km/h the power poles are flashing past like fenceposts do at 100km/h... (from my misspent youth on a Yamaha XJ900 - god, I miss that bike!) |

I know how you feel, last bike before destroying life and getting married I had Kawka Z900A4 bored out to 1100. Sometimes like on Brass Monkey run with boys the throttle would go in auto throttle mode and stick on those long empty roads in the South Island |

A financial punishment (ie fine) relative to income will hurt any person equally, or at least more equally than a fixed fine . Why would a $million/year earner care about a $200 speeding ticket? |
