Have a bitch I HATE Blackbirds!

[Mitch]

I don't bloody believe it! I've been exceptionally lucky and just a teensy bit responsible and NEVER got points for speeding on any of my bikes (though one Speed Awareness course :-( ). But within 8 hours of owning a bloody Super-bleeding black-bloody-bird I get done at the MFN! I knew that fooking engine torque was intoxicating but I just could stop playing... I was braking hard and got down to 48mph... but it was in a 30 zone. Dangerous and irresponsible, I know.... but bloody hell!

Anyway, just driven down to okehampton and back to get a set of Kappa luggage and mounting kit for 250 notes. Met a really top bloke (long-time bloody Super-bleeding black-bloody-bird owner) and he owns a 2008 injected Bird... and (shock-horror) says it's better than all the Carb'd versions he's owned and ridden... who'd have thunk it,. eh?

So now I'm wondering is £1600 for the bike and luggage worth the points... so come on you 4 and 20, what says you?

Badge of honour, mate.....wear it with pride. Don't tell AB though.....he'll probably ban you for being a hooliganbiker. Or just for being a biker, really.....

148 in a 30 would be a gold award, so you'll likely only get a "well done, room for improvement".

 

[slim63]

I told you bird brakes were crap

 

[Centaur]

Brilliant post, Mitch. Gave me my first laugh of the day. At least you got to "under the 20mph above the limit" so only 3 points. 4and 20s eh! Not heard that on here before.

So what didn't you spot - the '30' signs, the big yellow camera or the fluorescent police car?

 

[Mitch]

What bloody 30 sign? What bloody yellow camera and Cop car?
I was too busy grinning and whooping with the sheer glee of riding my new-to-me bike. ;-)

 

[Minkey]

I have to ask what colour is it

Was it the small children on the zebra crossing that alerted you?

Want a sweetie, little boy?

The Government is on a mission to ban your sort, y'know.

Let 'em try!

 

[DEG5Y]

Certainly is a badge of honour

I've taken to riding at the back of the pack so their brake lights act as added warnings.

 

[Cougar377]

Let 'em try!

Takes all sorts, I suppose. (groan).

 

[Mitch]

I have to ask what colour is it

Are we talking about the speed camera, the Cop car or my bike .
The first two I haven't got a clue.... my bike's BLACK. In my humble opinion that is the only suitable colour for a bike called "Blackbird"
But what do I know.... you can count my ownership time in seconds!

 

[Mitch]

Was it the small children on the zebra crossing that alerted you?

Actually.... it was the letter through the letter box that alerted me to the fact that I'd been nicked !
The sign came up all too quickly and I wasn't too fussy what was on the side of the road, more what was in front of me.

Apparently when a policeman asks ‘ Do you know why I have stopped you today?’

Don’t answer with ‘because I let you catch me up?’

It doesn’t go down too well



And it’s true that although the Speedo is in MPH, it really does feel like KPH !!

You back for good or just popping in?
