DfT figures.

And NONE of that negates the FACT that at speed the motorcyclist is more likely to be injured in any collision than the car driver, and that motorcyclists DO speed, yet aren't targeted.

I'd imagine in accidents the car driver is more likely to injure others.

Hardly ragging it was I!

Wouldn't it go any faster than that. Its a good long straight as long as you take a good line through the right hander. My old Gp6 sports racer used to do better and that was years ago!
