Carry a backpack of urea nitrate and bottle of diesel, police will give you a cleared road.

Is that what you drink chimera?

When performance enhancement is essential for a record breaking run, why not? Urinate often and you're good to go.

I achieved that last night. 17:19. Breaking my old record of 17:44. Gomersall Rd to Port Curtis via the "scenic route".

For point of reference, I set a rule to not use the highway to get across town. The other rule is to not go above 10km/h over the speed limit. Otherwise, I would actually get pulled over. The only risk I run is a noise complaint, or swerving over the road.

Map a run across town. Starting from Gomersall Rd/Boundary Rd intersection, I would make my way across the backstreets of the town. The finishing point is Fiddes and Harvey St, Port Curtis.

The regional record, for Rockhampton is 5 minutes. Boundary Rd to Port Curtis Rd.

My record for the Central Queensland region is 12 minutes. Boundary Rd to Port Curtis. Year 1999.

If police would hold off any traffice infringements against me for the 15th of September, I could try to break my record.

Video uploaded, if requested.

You on the piss again?

You're definitely an idiot.

Why would you think it even feasible to be trying to break a speed record - in a vehicle in a built up area & hope the Police don't catch & fine you for speeding?

I was on the piss again, when I wrote this topic. But I was on the wagon (technically) when I did my speed runs.

If you can do 44 in a 40 zone; or 55 in a 50 zone; or 66 in a 60 zone, the police don't bother with their revenue fundraisers. Most (95%) of those traffic infringement fines goes towards state government revenue. The remainder goes to the police officers issuing the fine. It keeps the police officers honest in doing their jobs professionally. But, if the officer fines a driver for doing less than 10kmh over the speed limit, the driver challenges that in court.

To answer your question, Gnads: My rule for breaking a speed record is to not do anymore than 10kmh over the speed limit. Otherwise, I penalise myself every second driving more than 10kmh hour over the speed limit.

That 17:27 (or whatever it was) included penalties along Reaney St and some back streets near the industrial estate. But I got it right going over the Fitzroy Bridge. Bolsolver had me stuffed, as I had to wait for traffic.

Better than when I tried to do the 17:44 in 2005. Penalties galore there.

Let's just say that in 2001, my dash camera was yet to be installed. But I did manage to get a similar route done in about 12 minutes. That is why the police target my vehicle.

I would borrow a friend's Kawasaki, back in my younger days. I tried riding the bike around for a few months. Decided to not bother anymore. Dad thought it was cool.
