I replied I dont know as I was concentrating on riding the bike and was not watching the speedo. He claimed he was doing over 220kph and I was still pulling away. I only knew he was there after I came up behind a car and slowed to normal speed then he finally caught up.
I was given a ticket for 30km over the 100 limit as that is what he got me on on radar before I had decided to have a play through the twisties. Said he also rode a bike and it was obvious I had race experience and was a capable rider and as I slowed down when approached traffic he just gave me the one ticket after listing all other possible options he could have done.
As I was in the middle of nowhere that could have been a very long walk home.....

Complete and utter rubbish.
