have noticed an increase in patrol cars cruising the back roads in the waikato the last few weeks - especially in the hamilton/cambridge/te awamutu area. they have their radars working too. apparantley. not sure of the reasons, but i've seen one every day this week at some stage between the airport, cambridge, te awamutu and hamilton, no matter which way i have gone.

Prime hunting?
Open sweeping roads, previously lightly patrolled.
Humm theme from 'Bonanza' now.

Yep, and the back road from Tokoroa to the Whakamaru Dam and out to SH1 at the Waikato river bridge. No longer a top speed test track for the local bikers :no:

Bastiges. At least if they have their radars working those with detectors should be OK.

ummmm no. quiet country roads - not much traffic to track so no bouncing beams to pick up, nose to nose with patrol car at 200m, radar detector goes off, it's too late. fuck it.

You reckon it might be something to do with most of these roads being mentioned here. <_<

I was thinking the other day,maybe the police have a few members in KB. If so anything we say on here could incriminate us. Just mentioning a good road with no cops on and if they have the resorces my patrol it a bit more. Could be a little paranoid though,hope i am not! You never know just saying you were blatting along at 250ks the other day and you might get a knock on the door from the boys in blue1

Tis true and they don't exactly hide themselves either. May be wrong but I think the creator of this thread is one of them.

Not to mention the one who lives opposite me who knows where I go to play. He's only a pretend policeman though as he went to school with our eldest son :yes: Mind you, I don't go out of my way to provoke him and see where his sympathies really lie. :whistle:

But you've still got that nice long straight on Tram Rd. And being a private road there are no :Police: at all. :whistle:

Your memory remains undiminished! I think I'd sooner collect a riding ban than the front end of a logging truck though. Used to use the nearby straight near Dunhams Creek for top speed runs on the 'bird as there was so little traffic but the HWP tend to hang out down there now :nono: Will have to move to the Mokai road on the opposite side of the river :whistle:

Those beautiful Atiamuri and Whakamaru roads are good, with a few guys on phones you can map a pretty good late night race track which involves no driveways or locals to complain and some good wholesome racing. (takes 3 guys to cover the potential entrances of "trouble".

Would they bother cheaking us out? Drunk drivers or Boy racers compared to KBers who have caused accidents to other road users... they'd be better off casing out the Drink drivers forum or the kindies :yes:

I doubt the policepersom members would dob us in, they are coal face persons and seem pretty honest sorts. But remember that anyone in the world can view what we post here , they don't have to be members. And I wouldn't put anything past some of the head office bureaucrat weasels.
