I read
this article at motorcycledaily.com.
---------------------------
the latest news from across the pond is that the British government's transportation department has supported the development of an anti-speeding system that uses GPS technology to determine if a rider is speeding, and will actually force the motorcycle to slow to the legal limit.
The system is currently being trialed on a small test track which has speed limits that have been mapped by satellite and then programmed into the control unit. Apparently a map of every road in the UK (with appropriate speed limits for each) is currently in the works.
When the speed control unit detects that the bike is speeding, it reduces speed by cutting fuel delivery to the engine - independent of rider input.

So when are you going to throw the tea in the harbor and enjoy the same freedoms we do?
