Granted country lanes is'nt a good idea but 120mph on a modern sports bike is nothing these days
Simon
I have a B road running outside our house which is situated 100 yards from the thirty mile per hour village restriction. The road is constantly populated during the summer by eejits on your modern sports bikes who accelerate like the devil is after their a**es and ride ton plus along the straight section which is about two miles long.
This road is also used by yours truly who regularly cycles along that stretch to get to a quieter designated cycle route whch crosses said road. These eejits not only tear around at ridiculous and suicidal speeds, but they have passed me leaving so little room that thier draft has forced me onto the verge. I use "they" deliberately as these morons have a herd mentality which means they have an utter fear of venturing out alone. Consequently if the first dipstick fails to scare the living s**t out of me, then his equally IQ challenged mates can have a go. I counted thirty two of the selfish, thick-headed, sheep-brained excuses for humanity in the gaggle that passed me last week.
The frustrating thing is that the local constabulary is well aware this goes on most summer evenings, yet they do sweet nothing about it.
Oh and before you accuse me of being anti motorcycle, you should know that for many years I was a motorcycle instructor, and until a few years ago when my health precluded it, I was the owner of eight motorcycles having had at least one in my garage from the age of sixteen. I am now retired.
120mph is nothing? Sir, please do not take offence, but you are talking from an alternative orifice.
