BUGGER!
Went for a ride today on my BM (I pick up the Busa Wednesday, hopefully) down to Gold Coast Hinterland with the local crowd.
I was leading, coz I kind of know the area (and only one with tank bag and map) and we were having a ball.
until I came towards Canungra - beautiful road goes from 100 to 80 to 60 in a flash of an eye, my fault, I was doing 100+ coming over the hill, not enough time to slow all the way down when the hairdryer police car came over the top.
Clocked my at 101 - i even checked the radar reading (I think he fenaggled it myself - i decelerated from 100+ to 80 or less in less than 3 seconds...maybe its a laser unit?)
No warning? Nope - his boss wants heaps of tickets this weekend becuase of fatalities in area?
bugger. he wrote me down to the next level though ONLY 3 points and 150 bucks......
and now I pick up a Hayabusa later this week?????
am i nuts?
