Well budget tickets.  I had few years of ridiculous tickets (2 in 2 days to name a few). After 2 years, i got one this past season. :(
It's still fun to ride especially out of town in rural roads with good twists and keep trying to improve and work on fears etc
620M 2004 Dark i.e.; ~ 57K miles (all me);  Looking to swap out engine now.
Triumph Speed Triple 2006 (now ~ 44K miles bought @ 4K miles on 04/2010)
Honda Grom 2015 ~ 3500miles so far.  Love this lil bike

I have never gotten a moving violation.  And yes, I speed, a lot.

30 years on the road, I drive in stealth mode.  And naked bikes here don't draw Smokey's attention  [laugh]

It is not the actual speed but the relative speed thats fun.
Taking a tight 25 MPH exit off a highway at 55 mph can be a lot of fun, and usually no cops on exits. [thumbsup]

Here is 2-3 world countries people ride twice as limit if roads are ok and can even escape or pay cops some 20-50$ and get away with it.

That's why they are 2-3 world countries.

I can still have fun without getting my knee down or riding at "go directly to jail" speeds.

Good for you! Me too!
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.
