Sometimes you just want to bury your head!
The sophisticated camera can measure the speed of a vehicle between 18mph and 155mphâŚ
It is getting to the point where riding a motorcycle is just not tenable any more. North Wales on some of the favourite biking roads have all been restricted with cameras everywhere. Donât get me wrong I donât want to be blasting around all the time, but as an example the horse shoe pass has been restricted to 40 mph. Not worth going to the Ponderosa any more. Iâm sure it is the same all over the UK.
Iâm so happy to live in NI where we donât have any of this shit⌠itâs probably only a matter of time though as we have our fair share of arseholes with obnoxiously loud pipes.
I wonât be leading any club rides to the Ponderosa again. Drakeford and his brown shoed Nzs are spoiling Wales, one road at a time.
I like that Paul-brownshoes
Dug this out too-l do like a bit of irony
One thing Iâve never understood is why we tolerate all these cameras. It only takes a bit of spray paint and they are useless. Not that I would encourage such delinquent behaviour mind.
Looking forward to seeing you shinning up the pole with a spray can in your hand Andy!
Wales and the Peak District are unfortunate in being close to the English Midlands cities, so are vulnerable to visits by hordes of weekend warriors (as well as by upstanding folk like us, of course), so I suppose itâs not surprising if the Welsh police are cracking down a bit. Nearer to home, Iâve seen some quite mad riding on the Alston to Hartside road, which is in easy reach of the Newcastle area. Fortunately, although we get quite a lot of visiting bikers here in D & G, weâre a good distance from the urban centres and donât seem to get so many of the eejits. So police and cameras are mostly notable by their absence, except on the A75 of course. Long may it continue.
Completely different experience in South west Wales, the police put out a few yellow plastic signs with a motorcycle graphic with âGyrrywych ofalusâ every spring, very occasionally a police bike will turn up at one of the biker cafeâs but other than that itâs a fantastic place for bikers. I dont think itâs a Drakeford thing, itâs more a North Wales police thing.
