Happy hunting for a new ride. I guess I'm waiting to be inspired like when the ZX-11 came out; it was so much more bike than anything else out there, I snapped one up in April that year, and had put over 10,000 miles on it that summer.
“30 MPH over is “street racing”? That’s almost the average speed of light traffic on highways around here. And how can you be racing if you’re by yourself?”
It’s a pretty ridiculous law, both in terms of its formulation (shouldn’t 30 mph in a 30 mph zone be more harshly punished than 30 mph over in a 70 mph zone?), and its provisions for (effectively) punishments to be meted out by cops on the side of the road. Even if you successfully fight the ticket, you’ve still had your license suspended (your insurace company will love that) and had to pay for the towing and getting your car out of impound. No worse I guess than some US states I’ve heard of where anything over something like 85 mph will get you a trip to the county jail (also considered “racing” even if no other vehicle is involved).
I don’t honestly expect too much sympathy from most people for excessive speeding like this, though. That would include most people on this forum.
