bloody hell grim!!

£250 fine..

had me a tug back in the 80's "run with a mad lot from nott's" we all got a pull at the same time, well 3 of us did,

50 in a 30 zone.. was a good job the speed trap was only about 200 yards from the traffic lights where we blasted off from..

anyway we got nicked on the old system think it was £1 per mile over the speed limit..

we got 3 endorsements + £20 fine + £25 costs = £45

bare in mind we were only on about £70 a week

hells bells grim what speed was you doing to get £250 ?

i know most 1000cc bikes topped out around 140mph back then with the exception of a few... one comes to mind "Bill Hunters GSXR1100 turbo" he used to run with us at times...

luckily he won't with us that night
