I've went like 5 mph or so over the speed limit. Lately, I've driven a white 1997 Mercury Mountaineer and a grey 2010 Ford Fusion. I don't think that police pays much attention to either vehicles going 5 mph over the limit. Neither are "cool" nor "fast" so police doesn't worry.

I'm kind of curious...what if I was to drive 5 mph over the limit in a 300ZX twin turbo or maybe a Supra Twin turbo, would I get ticketed? I know that police hates sport cars and would rather nab a sport car as opposed to a sedan or SUV. I've heard many years ago that red sports cars are more likely to get caught for speeding.
 
When I bought my Camaro, I got tickets galore! My insurance was very high...I've also drove a Corvette, but carefully, because it was so low to the ground....Got tired of the tickets, traded in on a Ford truck and never got a ticket since. Now I drive a Continental and no tickets...so go figure...Believe that Sports Cars are a hot topic with the Cops, they love to chase them down, and probably wishing they had one at home :laugh2:.
 
I get very few tickets and hardly ever pulled over, police near me tend to go after the older cars as they often have bald tyres
 
Ausrider, where you are from?

I own GSXR-1000 and i would like to meet some more deafies who riding real superbike!
 
Never had a ticket, despite a somewhat sporty car and bikes. I tend not to speed, though. (boring)

I rode in a Porsche 944 once with a guy who worked for an exotic car garage, he said he had more police attention driving a Ford Sierra (boring family car from Europe*) than driving any of the sports and exotics from his workplace. I suppose if you have a sports car you're almost inviting the cops to watch you and so you should take it easy?

*the XR4i and Cosworth versions excepted!
 
Im live in Sydney. i know few deafies around here who own superbike.

what kind of bike u got? its kinda hard to see at tiny photo
 
Guess im not too far away as i live in Brisbane, Cant say i have met any deaf riders but brisbane is rather small. I have a R6 (that tiny pic isnt me im afraid) I wouldnt mind getting the new ZX10R but R6 manages to keep me entertained. Do you go to track days on the gixxer 1000
 
Lol, thats pretty good picture! i wouldnt buy kawasaki after 2 kawa died on me. CBR1000RR is looking good at moment.

i dont go to track very often, they cost expensive and i rather ride on street and risk my life than spend $200 on tracks lol
 
Derek;
I give up; my curiosity has gotten too persistant. I am sure you have probably gotten asked this before and may be tired of answering. However, if I can beg your patience? What is cool about turbo engines? Actually, even before that, what IS a turbo engine?

No, That's tires spin only. MY Subaru is full AWD and tires life pretty long and I always drove 80-100 mostly times. That's right, AWD can't spin tires at all. Fuck RWD and FWD.
