No but just prooves it was a 'revenue' excercise rather than a 'road safety one' eh?

How often do cops wait outside pubs to grab drink/drivers???

[Karma]

Not often... I've heard they usually have to confiscate a lot of doughnuts off people leaving dunkin donuts whilst recklessly eating at the wheel ;)

I'm pleased we went to Port Waikato for a change.
There were no cops there, even when I got slightly illegal.
But I did have the accountant watching over me.

I rode from Whangarei through to Opononi,obviously through Waipoua Forest:not: ,meet a few guys that had come up through SH16 from Jafaland and they didn't meet any fun-killers on the way up.
Would of been about 1pm when I saw them so maybe a different time during the day...if at all.

Are there many members of this site that are cops? if so do you think they may tip off their superiors about an upcoming ride?? Would be bloody sad if they did but it is possible isn't it.....

I bet you haven't but I know how it works. (In fact it works REAL well)

[Grahameeboy]

I would be very astonished indeed if the Constabulary did not know perfectly well what roads are regularly frequented by groups of motorcycles. They don't need to lurk on here to figure that out!

And, contrary to some opinion, I'm pretty sure that said Constabulary don't have any specific wish to target motorcyclists (a few individual cops may be another rmatter). And so long as said groups of motorcyclists keep out of trouble, don't frighten Stan and Mabel by blitzing them at high speeds and DON'T CRASH all over the shop (thus attracting the attention of the Press, and people who say "summat should be done"), the Constabulary are unlikely to go particularly out of their way to go hunt motorcyclists.

Yeah, and he says "When ya coming back? HOW many days are you away?? Ah well, we'll cope without you, don't get locked up, keep your clothes on, don't drink too much and stay off the stage when the naked ladies are up there and I don't want to see you in the papers on Monday" Bloody great guy, total concern for my well-being!!

[Grahameeboy]

'oright officer you got me bangs to rights proper.......

Seriously though when you thing about it you guys know the KB haunts......Coro Loop, Coro Loop and more Coro Loop......so we cannot hide.........where is my passport??

[Fishy]

Targeting motorcycle groups would have to be of the most productive revenue collecting excercise...ever. Surely they would!?.....

[Grahameeboy]

They were all set to go untill there was a very serious accident at Te Hana.
Head on collision, by a people mover overtaking a truck, clipped it, spun head on into oncoming vehicle. 10 patients in all, 2x helicopters attend, 4x ambulance, 1 ambo manager, 3x fire/recue tenders, and a hell of a lot of police, (traffic/ normal and SCU).

Sadly 2 died.

just shows where real problems are eh?

[thehollowmen]

But those are my GOALS for the next rally :-o

[DMNTD]

....BLING!

[scumdog]

Yep, Te Hana.

Oh, and caused by an impatient incompetent driver.:crazy:

[tracyprier]

So was that you and another 1200 heading out from the cafe there yesterday arvo at around 3:30ish ?

[SVrunner]

Thats why 27 & motorway was quite. only saw 1 boy in blue & 1 girl in blue. & able to criuse' quicker than normal.

[Lou Girardin]

They really wouldn't want to get caught doing it, would they.

[Grahameeboy]

Yep, Te Hana.

Oh, and caused by an impatient incompetent driver.:crazy:

So proximate cause was not speed then......sssccchhh:scooter:

[Grahameeboy]

So was that you and another 1200 heading out from the cafe there yesterday arvo at around 3:30ish ?

well he had to take his wife and kids somewhere

[Fatjim]

So proximate cause was not speed then......sssccchhh:scooter:

Whats the bet the official cause is not "not enough speed".

[Lou Girardin]

So was that you and another 1200 heading out from the cafe there yesterday arvo at around 3:30ish ?

Nah, must have been some other person of taste and discernment.
Were you there too?

That's interesting, the media is inferring it was the Merc driver at fault.

[Grahameeboy]

Whats the bet the official cause is not "not enough speed".
1,000,000 to 1...........but I bet ya that speed goes on report so it goes in the 'speed' statistics

'Remember that speed is a factor in 33% of accidents and 67% are caused by slow drivers'

'30% of accidents involve alcohol and 70% involve sober drivers'

[Grahameeboy]

That's interesting, the media is inferring it was the Merc driver at fault.

...not him again.....how did he get the car out of the compound and did he have his wife and mother in the car!!

[Lou Girardin]

...not him again.....how did he get the car out of the compound and did he have his wife and mother in the car!!

Well he won't do it again. God revoked his lifetime licence.

[scumdog]

They really wouldn't want to get caught doing it, would they.

See post#27 on this thread, I do it (tell him about the event) and that post is the reaction of my boss!:woohoo:



It seems for some it is:" paranoia is loooming, beware, bewaare!!":confused:

[tracyprier]

Nah, must have been some other person of taste and discernment.
Were you there too?

Yep, I like heading down that way too, as you say it is a quiet road and doesn't seem to attract "zee coppers"

[Lou Girardin]

The long straight is *interesting* isn't it?

[spudchucka]

No but just prooves it was a 'revenue' excercise rather than a 'road safety one' eh?

How often do cops wait outside pubs to grab drink/drivers???
Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night at the minimum, some booze bus crews use both marked and unmarked cars.

[spudchucka]

Checked under your bed lately? What about your house, checked it for bugs and cameras?

[scumdog]

And the drunk buggers moan "no fair, you're staking out the place, ya can't do that" as if it's a school yard game. Tui ad:"Pax - I didn't know you were there"

Eff them all, they know the score!!

[spudchucka]

Good grief if you want privacy don't publish shit on the net.

So what do you think the reaction will be if a KB ride is ambushed by cops?

[spudchucka]

So what do you think the reaction will be if a KB ride is ambushed by cops?
Who gives a shit? You post information for all to read about illegal antics, naming the time date and place where it will take place and then act surprised when the plod turn up and spoil the party?

I'll tell you what my reaction would be, it simply would confirm the stupidity and lack of common sense amongst the general population of road users.

Disclaimer: I'm not interested in passing on any information found in these forums so don't point the finger at me if it happens.
