400bhp+ or superbike for you i reckon..
Think I’ll go with 400+ on 4 wheels. 2 pals have not long died on bikes. The sickening thing was, I warned one 2 days before someone pulled out on him @ 170mph+.

To be fair you have taken what happened pretty well - I hope it works out OK for you at the end of the day. :thumbsup:

Its probably not a good idea to publicly brag about what speed you do and when you do it.
Everybody does it now and again, I am no angel but pick my times and places and try not to piss off other road users while doing it.
There have been cases in the past where the police have used forums to build cases against people for driving dangerously.
You have supplied lots of info on here that could be used.
You are obviously a big boy and can do what you like but maybe you should have a bit more restraint and keep your speeding for certain times and places, not everywhere.
You have also told us about a couple of your friends who have died doing similar things to you, maybe you should learn a lesson from their mistakes.

You need evidence to stand in a court of law. Who said on public roads??

You mention bragging and time and place. I work all the time and the place........ M6 Toll is behind my house. You can’t get a more derelict private road in the country
