Almost had to walk home

[Finn]

Changing lanes without indication, splitting vigorously and excessive speed. Sounds pretty normal to me on an Auckland motorway. He started off saying he was going to do me for Boy Racing and that I would have to walk home. "Shit, my mums gonna kill me!" He laughed, relaxed somewhat and wrote me up for 106 in a 80. We we're both satisfied with the transaction and parted ways. Still, worth a letter pleading innocence... 106kph on any Auckland motorway has got to be a mistake.

Gotta get that Harley.

P.S. Why did Transit reduce the speed over the Harbour Bridge to 80? I can piss faster than that.

[carver]

you shoulda fought him!

[Kittyhawk]

Bugger....haha its also printed on the ticket for the 10km/hr leway thing....

and wheres my victim hmmm?? :devil2:

[YellowDog]

Not having to walk home was a big bonus, but 106kph!

Come on guys, that's a bit tough................

[HDTboy]

The harbour bridge has been 80 for years. Face it Finn, you're an irresponsible hooligan

[Kittyhawk]

No they changed the bridge...and whats with the no trucks or heavy vehicles on the outside lanes?

[Daffyd]

I read somewhere they were concerned that the Nippon Clippon would fall off.

[bugjuice]

what that you parked up the other day on the bridge?
me n two other bikes splitting thru, then got to the bike parked on the bridge everyone slowed down to look at, to see the cop giving all three of us the evil eye for getting thru the traffic

Something else to complain about eh??

[jrandom]

I saw a man in black on what looked like a blue R1 pulling a wheelie up the harbour bridge last night.

:shit:

I think it's time for a crackdown on these irresponsible motorcyclists and their two-wheeled death machines of doom.

:nono:

[Finn]

God told me to do it.

[merv]

So Finn how come you change lanes without indicating anyway?

Once you're on the Harley you can own the road though eh!

[mynameis]

Ggzzz I dismissed you for an old geezer who wouldn't speed and do dangerous things like that man ! I was wrong :laugh:

Them big black bad Harleys aye, gets the pigs attention all the time ;)

[kiwifruit]

I wasn't doing anything dangerous at all. Dangerous is a kiwi driving a car.

I was on the MV. Certainly wish I was on the Harley though.

[Finn]

Hey, is "Northcote" an 80k area of the motorway?

I think the answer is "yes".

i agree..!

[Swoop]

Bike cop or cage?

Was this on the "onramp" bit or while going up the bridge itself?
There has been a bit of a presence on the southern side recently.

[Magua]

Temporary.

[Grahameeboy]

God told me to do it.

Sorry Finn but he is not ":stupid: "

Yeah - just like bruce takes it so easy on the Vrod huh?
Why I was prepared to let him gap us the other day.

Sometimes there are 7 patrol cars between Greenlane and Albany.

Yer Vrod isn't going to go any slower unless you say so you know? :headbang:

[vifferman]

Hey, is "Northcote" an 80k area of the motorway?

I think the answer is "yes".
Yes, the answer IS "yes", while they're doing the new on/off ramps for Onewa Road.
And the bridge has been 80km/h for... like... forever.
I can't recall it ever being 100. The 80 starts north of the bridge, and continues south till well past Spaghetti Junction.

But apart from all that - bad luck Finn (or was it 'bad planning'? :spudwhat:)

[ManDownUnder]

oh man - this is meant to be a bitch poo hate cops thread. You're not allowed to just take your medicine, admit you were at fault and ride away.

That's an infarction right there... mods - get 'im!

[Finn]

Hey, I didn't once mention the guy was a prick. Nice fella actually.

[Harry33]

What are you complaining about? It's not like your SHORT of money.

[Finn]

But I prefer it in my pocket... along with the demerit points.

[jrandom]

Sorry Finn but he is not ":stupid: "

Some of the apparent evidence would argue to the contrary.

[Finn]

This ain't a police bashing thread however, I am well within my rights to challenge the alleged offense and I plan to do so. The cop was just doing his job with the tools he had available. I think he may have got it wrong as the traffic was very heavy and I doubt that while I was splitting he could have pinged me with a laser. Don't quite know how I will raise this in my defense. I may just request all the information I am entitled to and make a decision to pay up / shut up or challenge it.

I'm not worried about the fine or the demerit points as I am / was on "0" but it's certainly worth a crack.

You were passing within a lane on the right, weren't you, and indicating correctly for all lane changes and passing maneuvers.

:innocent:

If everyone involved was under the speed limit, you're free and clear so long as the cop doesn't see fit to charge you with careless or dangerous.

Question is whether you can claim with a straight face that riding in traffic makes his radar reading suspect. Worth a try, I suppose.

[Ixion]

Sorry Finn but he is not ":stupid: "

He meant Helmut von Hoirnihumper, the Biker God.

Huh............................

Well God is omnipresent...

How can a kiwi drive a car.. its got no arms.:2thumbsup.or a licence for that matter..:wari:

And wats up with biker gangs with very very loud bikes.:spanking:. rnt they suppose to be illegal( removing baffle from the exhaust):2thumbsup

[mynameis]

What jrandom said.

I guess the only other bullshit you could come up with is that you didn't quite realise it was 80 and thought it was 100 as there's some construction going on at the moment and thought it would have still been 100. Lame one though.

If you're done at night you could say "I didn't know" they didn't remove the signs but I doubt you'll stand a chance with that one aye neither would you if you argue "it wasn't me".

Might as well just watch shaggy and pay the fine Finn:

Should have sung that song to the officer, he would have let you off :laugh:

[Big Dave]

I tried to watch Shaggy - really I did. But I just can't.

[mynameis]

Aww you missed the main parts man...watch...after 2 mins, some bike stuff ;)

I wonder how you'd like Soulja Boy :lol: Crank That !

The bridge has been restricted to 80 for at least the last ten years.
