just read ride magazine oct 04 issue

page 16 there's a snippet saying brunstrom wants to place speed cameras up to 12 miles either side of any accident site. bikers are apparently a particular problem by slowing down for the cameras then speeding up again and crashing on the next corner. his words not mine!

anyone know anything more about this one, ie his full statement, justification etc.?

Yes - It comes from a Times interview reported here a while ago. I'll try to find the link... <fumble> ... Here it is:

My bike will do 0-60 in less than 3 seconds. If I want to do something stupid I can do it within 10 yards of a camera without getting flashed.

12miles!!!! blimey that means if there is a crash in Liecester he will put a camera in Loughborough... The guy just keeps on getting dafter.

What the hell does this tw*t know about bikers and biker related accidents?
