    Any points this year??

    Anyone get any points from TLD 2010?

    The last couple of years I think 3 people have ended up with Tickets (each year, I may be wrong)

    I was really expecting a few from around Manchester as I rode with my guard down as I knew the roads and a couple of times I went past cameras (that I knew were there) and suddenly realised I was going faster than I should..

    but so far (over 14 days) nothing on the door mat. (thank goodness)

    Anyone else not been so lucky?

    Went through one at 77 and had a panic, glanced back to see no flash and when we pulled over Stuart said he'd seen that the camera was not in use. Nothing through the post yet so hopefully all is well.

    no but I did get pulled by the plod in Scotland on my way back for the heinous offence of shaking my head at them manning a speed trap..... rode away after an exchange of views some 30 mins later... hopefully they will be back pounding the beat when all the police cuts come into force....

    LOL.

    Hopefully I'll have no little surprises in the post this week and I'll see you at Austins little jaunt to the forests in August (as long as I can make it, looking good so far, but won't be able to commit till the last last minute)
