Doh, you should have tried to say there was no way you were going over 115km/h. Cheaper but same demerits :Police:

At a pedestrian 116kph, enjoying a nice day north of Kaukapakapa.

Despite the officer's disbelief that a scooter could go that fast, he wouldn't buy my argument that his lazer unit was doubling its reading.

...that's one less bottle of Malt in the next duty free bag...

I think this is the first time I have read on the scooter pages that someone actually got a speeding ticket on a scoot. Congratulations and commiserations all in one!

Now that we get speeding tickets that makes us real bikers:shifty:

You crazy bastard! You could've killed us all! I mean, take a 40 tonne truck and trailer unit, I can understand why cops let them get away with cruising the motorways at 120kph because they're soft like marshmallows and have no momentum and wouldn't cause any damage to anything, but your scooter at 116kph... that's just reckless and irresponsible.

Definition:Ginga

A child or adult who is made of pure evil and whose skin is a terrible pale color covered in disfiguring freckles and hideous used tampon colored hair. Gingas will almost always deny their own existence.
"Persian or Greek nobody threaten a Ginga"
"Take your stinkin paws off me, you damn dirty ape."-a reference to a ginga

He wasn't one of them was he?
Don't tell me he has a rival.

No ticket just a verbal warning if I was on a Bike not a scooter who knows how he would have delt with it

Not at all.. I've never denied speeding.

I will be going to court to see what evidence he has that I was speeding though. I'm pretty good at court ;)

So in effect you handed him your licence?

Why say he was responsible for your predicament?

Oh, and good luck in Court, keep us posted how it went.

Because a good bloke wouldn't have even pulled us over to start with. We weren't hooning round corners dragging knees, or popping wheelies, overtaking cars ten or twelve at a time, riding at the limit of the road/motorcycle..

Having met quite a lot of policemen that ARE good blokes in the course of my job, it seems all the ones I meet when I'm not at work are grade A cocks that think their mission to nick people 'speeding' is the be all and end all of police work.

But...but.. you WERE speeding eh?

The impression I get is that speeding should be allowed as long as you not not hooning, knee-draggin, popping wheelies etc.

Somebody is then going to argue you should be allowed to hoon, knee-drag, pop wheelies etc as long as you don't speed.

The law's the law - even if you don't think it's fair.

And yes, MY thoughts are that certain bits of the law IS (are?) an ass.

Why can't overzealous officers like the ginga one be sent to Dallington? At least their keen eye for the law could be put to use doing something useful - like catching Mellory Manning's killer..

They go heaps faster than that (the derestricted one I tried did) and if you were doing 141Kph, there goes your licence :(

No, no, no, no.

Speeding is OK as long as it's me doing it.

Anyone else should be tied by the ankles to a horse and dragged around for 20 minutes.

Because when anyone else does it, it's dangerous.....

huh.... strange... i was sure i was/would forever be the only ne to get caught speeding on a scooter... 50cc going 70kph... i thought he was a dick for giving me the ticket, i didnt deserve a ticket, i deserved some kind of reward! then he said ill say it was 64kph less demerits and only 80 to pay... so i decided to think he was a dick later as opposed to right then. but it was my fault :s

Why can't guilty twats like Clayton Weatherston (Dunedin) just plead guilty and not waste time in court - then the cops COULD do 'something useful.:yes:

I try and live by a moral code.

and that moral code specifies that I shouldnt speed.

because speeding is, ipso facto, dangerous.

Of course because its MY moral code, my definition of speeding is "Anything faster than what I feel safe at". Presently that seems to be around the 180 (miles per hour, I'm an Anglophile also) mark.

and around the 70 in town, or if I've had a few beers (more than about seven, say).

Dave Lobster

Because a lot of defence lawyers are allowed to waste the courts' time, legally, pulling out trials when they don't need to.
They pull in witnesses for no reason other than to ask the most bone questions.. and if there's five accused and five separate defence teams, that's five lots of bone questions for each witness, THAT DOESN'T EVEN NEED TO BE THERE if the defence team had read the fucking information they've been given.
Mind you.. the police are just as guilty of that too..

Somehow the system seems destined to ensure that guys like him, who are clearly the culprit to either deny it, or spend endless money trying to prove it was the victims fault.

Still, with a bit of luck, Mr. Weatherston may get to test a new shipping container for comfort, until such a time as it becomes a very old shipping container.

Slagging off your friends on KB is not help full.
The police form part of the community just like we do and are just as likely to make mistakes and act inappropriately, and contrary to what the police force would have you believe mistakes are made, favouritism is shown and dirty tricks are played-as individuals and as an organisation they are a fucking long way from infallible..
