[Motoracer]

Welcome to the site Bykey cop! :)

Btw: Marty is an ex :Police: as far as I know and a couple of others would be Mongoose and Nodman.

I got great respect for you guys out there for all the work that you do for the community. Some pricks within the force give you guys a bad name but you guys are just humans and there are always a few bad apples in a bag. Keep up the good work and I really appreciate the input on the site specially from Spud and Marty.

[Milky]

also sarg... sitting quietly in the background at the moment, but he may appear sometime

[Motu]

I know another-works undercover in the porn industry,from what I've seen.

[Da Bird]

Thanks for the welcome guys... looking forward to being "around" for a while. Happy to help out with any advice if needed - have been doing traffic enforcement for the last 6 years so reasonably up with the play.

Hi and welcome to the site BC! :ride:

Question for you: what is the general attitude in the force towards motorcyclists filtering/lane-splitting traffic, especially on the motorway systems during heavy traffic?

Thanks,


Zed

[Da Bird]

I can really only speak for myself on this one as I don't work on the motorway. Personally, as long as the traffic was going reasonably slow, I wouldn't have a problem with it... I mean, whats the point in having a bike in peak hour traffic. However, if you use the emergency lane (red chip), and get caught, you are likely to get a ticket. Obviously, each individual must also way up the risks of lane splitting and the speed at which they do it... I've seen car drivers deliberately move over to close out bikes getting through and others just move over without looking.

Welcome, Bikey. It's a fun ol' world here, you'll enjoy the madness.

If you don't mind a question, what the hell is a trafic enforcer doing riding a CBR1100XX?

Is it a case of "Do as I say, not as I do."? :spudwhat:

[NordieBoy]

It's a 1999 model.

That's almost vintage.

Probably struggles to reach the speed limit.

On the starter motor :rolleyes:

Thanks for that BC, I agree with you.

[marty]

that's why I only had a 250 when I was in the job. Just enough power to get to work and back. Any more than that and it's a waste

[Lou Girardin]

So, do we now get a coppers section forum too?

[scumdog]

We do, it's called KiwiBiker <_<

[Lou Girardin]

We do, it's called KiwiBiker <_<

That was becoming obvious. Is there a Pleecemans forum that we can join?

(Before some people get all self-righteous on me, I don't object to cops on this forum. After all, I haven't even put Spud on the 'ignore' list yet.)

You would prefer nifty 50's??

[Lou Girardin]

Only as patrol bikes.

[Motoracer]

LMAO :laugh:

[dangerous]

LMAO :laugh:

Me too :kick: classic answer :apint:

[Two Smoker]

No not at all lol..... It was just interesting too see that the majority of the bikes could break the open road speed limit in first gear.... hehehe

Im not complaining at all about the choice of bike :niceone:

[marty]

and your point is?

[Mongoose]

No not at all lol..... It was just interesting too see that the majority of the bikes could break the open road speed limit in first gear.... hehehe

Im not complaining at all about the choice of bike :niceone:

Only if the rider makes that choice, huh? :2thumbsup

[marty]

hey i've got a telstar that will do 200kmh. ummmmmmmmm

the bike is just for pottering about on :)

[Shazuki]

Good on our police officer fellow riders for having fast bikes...just cause they're fast does'nt mean they need to be ridden fast every where. I'm sure these guys have a few excessive velocity moments when and where appropriate. Thing I've learnt about big grunters like these is that in top gear you can pretty much ride up Everest into a stiff wind while overtaking slower traffic and not risk your life on the wrong side of the road for too long without having to shift down 3 gears and ring their nuts off...

Good to see the :Police: riders here...

Yep, torques what it's all about, my H-D could (most of the time) get by with only three of its five gears.

Nice that you realise that cops are human, too often they get shit until the shit hits the fan - and who ya goin' ta call them? - you ain't goin' ta call ghosbusters then eh? :no: :Police:

[dangerous]

We do, it's called KiwiBiker <_<

LOL :killingme :laugh: :rolleyes: 'Yeah right'
Now I dident start this thread to hassel the coppers here :no: but to welcome Bykey cop and to give Lou a head start :msn-wink:

[DEATH_INC.]

Yep,welcome.
The more coppers on here the better,then I know when it's safe to ride.... :Pokey:

[scumdog]

Yep,welcome.
The more coppers on here the better,then I know when it's safe to ride.... :Pokey:

I assume you mean "speed" as opposed to "ride"? :yeah: - or do you think cops pose some sort of hazard to other rider? :o

Does that work for cops too ;) :ride:

[Lou Girardin]

Nice that you realise that cops are human, too often they get shit until the shit hits the fan - and who ya goin' ta call them? - you ain't goin' ta call ghosbusters then eh? :no: :Police:

If you're burgled in Auckland, you may as well.

[Mongoose]

If you're burgled in Auckland, you may as well.


Why some wise folk insist on living in the deep south, less of just about all bad things. Less traffic, less burgs, less people. More of the good things in life, more open roads, more twisty rides, more Bike rallys. Hell, makes you wunder why people live up North, dont t?

[dangerous]

If you're burgled in Auckland, you may as well.

YES....... and here comes Lou, about bloody time get in there man :msn-wink: this thread is too polite thats not our usual standard time to break Bykey Cop in, C ya *runs and hides behind the couch*

[Lou Girardin]

I'm getting outnumbered here now. When it was just me versus Spud, Marty and Scumdog it was about even.
And I don't want an Auckland cop making it his life's ambition to ping me.
Is there room behind that couch for two?

[scumdog]

Don't get too worried Lou, it's not you the comments are directed at - just the ideas/thought process that come from you :angry2:

After all, if it wasn't for people like you to keep us in line we would assume we were always right!! ;)

[Bandito]

Welcome Bykey cop, this could be quite an interesting as long as everybody is both honest and objective-
. I look forward to some future comments.

1 against 4 is even? i presume 4 against 1 wouldn't be though.

careful lou, you could be held to comments like that. you haven't even got me started yet.........

hey spud - maybe you should apply for a 3 month secondment to auckland motorways, especially the area around kybher pass :) (although i know more than a few guys and gals up that neck of the woods.........)

[spudchucka]

Interesting, always.

Objective, sometimes.

Example:


Headline should more correctly read
"LTSA HAVE CORONER IN BACK POCKET"

Hardly an objective statement, I'll take it that you were being sarcastic.

Three months in Dorkland?? Hunt Lou down like a rabid dog???

Tempting but no thanks.

[marty]

hunt lou down? who would suggest such a thing? i just though that area around kybher pass would be a fun place to be.......

You can read read between lines eh spudchucka, well done!
However the coroner's conclusion could hardly be seen as objective given the amount of variables and therefor contributing factors in this particular accident. But I am sure his final explanation pleased the revenue hungry authorities :bleh:

[igor]

I would suggest 3 months in the Solomen Islands over Jaffaland.

1. People are more pleasant
2. Not so much traffic
3. Weather is better
4. wher would this list stop :bleh:

[spudchucka]

wots Tui got to do with it
You obviously haven't seen any of their billboards.

[igor]

You obviously haven't seen any of their billboards.

no Tui's round here Brother

waikato only, bring ya tea strainer

[Mongoose]

You obviously haven't seen any of their billboards.
Tui's, thats from up Norf aint it? A foriegn thing around these parts unless you are near a pub that is near the shearers quarters. :apint: But not of tuis thanks!!

:Offtopic: I heard that a recent survey of Orc's found that 85% didn't like living there...........?

A newspaper article published on the web hardly gives you the FULL story. You have no idea from what is written in either article why the coroner made his decision. Unless the full coroners report were published I don't think that any comment made here in relation to his decision could be "objective".

You last sentence proves this. :wavey:

[spudchucka]

And the more cops that come here and read your inane dribble will only mean that there are thousands of them out to get ya. :Police:

do you like playing the victim lou, or is it just in your nature?

[spudchucka]

I'm starting to wonder if Lou is actually a Louise, cos he's such an old nag.

[spudchucka]

Yup. Thankfully there are only a handfull of sad cases with your attitude.

[vifferman]

:Offtopic: I heard that a recent survey of Orc's found that 85% didn't like living there...........?There are some things to like.
But there are reasons for living in a place apart from liking living there.
Given enough time, and enough monkeys banging away on a very large number of typewriters, I could probably come up with one or two.
Eventually.

But I hope I would be back in Christchurch again by the time they'd finished.
