Friend got busted in his EVO on the Cat 'n' Fiddle (Peak District favourite for bikers). The slimy gits hide behind stone walls waiting to bust you for the slightest squeak of a tyre.

WATCH OUT!!!

Might sell my Scoob for a track car, the roads are getting worse and worse!

Cat n Fiddles a 50 now isnt it. Used to go and play on there alot but too risky now. How fast was your mate going? Some miles better roads very near to there where never any feds. Send me an email if you want them dont really feel like giving info on where you'll find me and other turbo mates at weekends away that easily on here!

Just received a summons about an old one... Usually try to ignore them and hope they go away. This sometimes works due to an address mix up which goes back for ages. May have to face the music now.

How do those lovely people at the insurance company react to SPs? How much do they load on to the premium?

Considering moving to Albania and buying a gun turret mod for my legacy.

Best

Mark

Insurance companies react badly to more than 3 points. A ban is likely to scupper plans for anything more than a Fiesta for anyone with less than £3k/year to spare!

I've got 3 points at the mo that are 4 yrs old, dont want any more!

C&F has been sanitised for a long time. Not bad but plenty of other roads to enjoy the odd kick on. Just have to know where to look...

I've got 3 points & 21 day ban all in last 2 yrs - made v little diff to insurance - 2% each apparently - claim history much more important than points.
Getting stupid for having the odd bit of fun tho - track days are the only way to go.

Get your mate to find out the legal situation, I didn't think they were allowed to hide any more, I thought they had to be 'highly visible'
Gotta be worth investigating.
