as a biker as well as a 4x4'er this report just hits totally the wrong spot.....read the max speed proposed  :evil:

where will it all stop???????
wouldnt mind but all the extra training we have to go through compared to car drivers...and if they cap bikes speed when will they do cars? all hgv's are done - 7.5 tonners are in the process.... :evil:  :evil:  :evil:

Frankie-Boy:
You might as well buy a moped!

muddymart:
ive heard that on the news today too, i must agree though its a good idea for young inexpereinced riders, like the boy racers getting their rs turbos and like, there should be a test to prove experience (on private grounds)

But i'd take that would open a whole new argument.

mike142sl:
Can't see this coming in too soon, but can understand it on some roads. 65mph seems a little low, I'd have said 90mph but then it's entirely down to the rider riding at speeds suitable for the road and conditions at the end of the day. If we all stick to the speed limits this wouldn't be an issue, unfortunately many don't and end up as the stats they quote.

Bulli:
it will never happen... but weve said that about too many things.

They seem to miss the entire point. Most accidents on bikes have nowt to do with speed. Most are at well under the national limit and involve short sighted car drivers. There ive said it car drivers dont see bikes...i mean ive been knocked off twice and i may as well have been invisible....and no i wasnt speeding and both took place at less than 50 mph.

so how would you feel if your car was limited to 62?? youd tell em to sod off sharpish!

they will never be able to resrict my little bike.
