Getting confuddled with the A140 perhaps

Or maybe I have been lucky... used to travel to Norwich and beyond most weeks

Nope, thinking of A11 dual carriageway portions....   ...an area I know well.

I had a real moose pull out in front of me in Canada.. driving a Chrylser Voyager at about 80 MPH. That tested the ABS a bit, and I came quite close to voiding myself in my attire, I can tell you.

A real moose. As opposed to a munter touting for business on a street in a questionable area, kev? 

In all seriousness though if a moose stepped in front of me at 80 I'd actually shit myself. They're bloody huge!!!!!

A friend of mine lost an argument with a fully grown deer when he was on his Yamaha a few years ago.

When he got out of hospital, he mounted the antlers on his (trashed) helmet

The last time that we travelled down the A11 on route to Great Yarmouth I drove flat out for the entire time that we were on it. 
In fact, we were mostly flat out for the entire journey, until we reached Vauxhall Holiday Park. It wouldn't have mattered if Plod were following me as we'd done nothing wrong. We were in a fully loaded, roof rack and all, mini 850 and it was only just capable of breaking 'A' road limits let alone motorway speeds. 
Has it changed much since 1982?

Travel down the A40 at night near Shotover Park Webby and you'll see three Moose's crossing the road.    Bloody great big things they are, these overgrown reindeers.    No respect for the green cross code either.

That said, Vmax on a suitable road for a reasonable distance should be on everyones bucket list

Which the A11 isn't. Not by a very long way.

Haverhill to Newmarket, and Newmarket to Red Lodge could be alot worse... likewise the dual carriageway from Thetford to the A47

But being by not being a 3/4 lane Autobahn with hgv lane restrictions, no it's far from ideal

Not stretches I would be going mental on, due to a fair number of agricultural vehicles (often unlit at night as well) and "fen people"

Indeed

Mmm 154 Mph was it sutained for long  I doubt it.
Sustained High speed isn`t enjoyable, it verges on the insane 
Quick sprints, combined with even quicker changes up thru the box on either 4 wheels or 2

Unless you're driving a dragster, it takes a fair while to reach such speeds in a car so it'll always be a few miles.
