Possibly a bit harsh that, considering it was night time and no-one present to cause a danger to. At least no points were involved though!
i recently had to hand my SD card from my camera over to the police (i'll explain in a different post soon) and when the officer came to return it to me he told me that at one point in the footage i was doing 50 in a 30, at the time i was behind a car which was doing the same, he told me that in his opinion the wasn't a need for a 30 limit on the stretch of road as it changes to 50 just a little further up. he understood that i wasn't intentionally speeding, just going with the traffic. he admitted to me that he has done the same and that it is human nature to speed. as a biker himself and watching my footage from that day in the places i was going a bit quick he understood as i wasn't flying around at TT speeds just having some fun.
Too fast, Beyond the realms of fun and into the realms of risking causing someone injury? I assume thats what he means.
Just when you feel the rear tyre spinning up coming out of windy corner then I guess you know the cables are tight )
