Agreeing in general, but I thought I’d emphasise this one. ![]()
The level of situational awareness required for motorcycling is similar to that required for boxing. It isn’t a brain-off-and-chill situation. You need to see the punches before they land.
I habitually ride about 20km/h over the limit, and when I’m out having fun I’ll be up around 150-200km/h. Despite that, I’ve only paid two speeding tickets in twenty years. Once by a fixed camera at a limit change when I’d only been riding a couple of months, once by an exceptionally well-hidden speed trap off the side of a bridge.
If you can’t see the cops and cameras before you get to them, you are not paying sufficient attention for the speed you are doing.
