Yesterday I was leaving the island via the 8 mile long tunnel. The speedtraps are set up to catch cars, not bikes, so normally a little inspired driving is safe.
Yesterday as I entered the tunnel, I got behind 2 busses....lots of exhaust and buffeting. Thought it was safe to pass, and did, and as I left the tunnel, blue and red lights.
LEO patrol in a civil car.....
101 km/h in a 80 zone.
Fine equals $700....... And I got 3 points ( 8 points will lose the license for 6 months).
At some point I actual held 130km/h, so I suppose it could be worse....
I got what I deserved, and it was all my own fault, but it hurts... Might have felt better to blame someone.....maybe Honda for engineering these highspeed monsters?
Anyway, paid the fine this morning, and now I'm off for another fjord-adventure.
There, it helped to vent....
Have fun!
