my 220 bhp scania does 54 - as does the 340 bhp scania we have - only difference is he does it uphill too!!

If you read my posts about the speed limiters i said all vehicles should be limited to 70mph max, which yes includes my range rover.

Did you read my post?
--- Quote ---What the ol' government needs to undertsand is that not everyone keeps their cars/bikes/4x4s on the road. You can't say "...well, you must have it limited to 70 because you shouldn't be going faster than that anyway..." because many bikers use their machines on track days and suchlike, where 70mph will get you nowhere. As, do we need bigger tyres, wider track widths and more powerful engines for when we compete in 4x4 challenges than would be needed on the road.

bager rover have you taken your bike test in the last five years?
I'm guessing you have'nt as you seem to be a bit over anti biker.i will grant you that in the biking world there are some morons manly on sports bikes but that is a very sml number. As like most 4x4 onwers most are good fellows who do follow the law.Have you heard of the term road craft'that is a big part of the bike training and if you talk to alot ot bikers they will tell you that passing there bike test has made them a better car drivers as they have become more in tuned to whats going on around them.
Ive seen some real crap driving by 4x4 motors but that dos'nt mean all 4x4 drivers are morons behind 3 tonnes of motor.
You seem to me like the kind of bloke who while in a traffic jam would stay as far over right as to block a bike from filtering through just because you think its your lane
Iv'e lost good friends to bike crashes and guess what the car driver said they didnt see them same excuse every time.I'm no saint on my bike or in my landrover but i don't ever put others or my self in danger maybe if you tryed to ride a motor bike around our roads you might change your mind and see what its really like instead of giving off your anti biker views.

There is idiots in all motoring i just think singling out one type is wrong, I had a car written of by some young morron in a ford ka, http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=27195&highlight= but i don't go off on one about 20 something year old's or ford ka's it was one individual, who's court appearence is due soon, who's won't get what he really deserves due to this country's justice system, (well i would be surprised if he did) so to tar all bikers with the same brush is wrong,
Sounds like a Victor Meldrew with a chip on his shoulder :roll:
