They're just plucking that info from the Ten One, but yeah, good to see her giving it a shot, - helmet-hair or no helmet-hair...

They seem to be plucking quite a bit from there lately... :whistle:

:clap:

Most excellent! Go chick...:niceone:

I do wonder though as to how safe a "slight build" female officer copes in such a potencially rough job.

But eh, if she made the test, then good on her...:yes:

Aw c'mon - I'm not the ONLY plod working in the Riviera of the South...:innocent::whistle:

[Swoop]

She was the first woman to qualify since the police and Ministry of Transport merged in 1992.
Geeze! The first since 1992??? Why the delay?

[ManDownUnder]

Aw c'mon - I'm not the ONLY plod working in the Riviera of the South...:innocent::whistle:

Maybe not - but are you all "clothing optional"?

[Pwalo]

Good on her, it'll surprise a few of the motorists.

I do presume that you have to do a test to make sure you can lift one of those suckers upright if you drop it? I doubt I could.

[yod]

its more about technique than strength

[Usarka]

Ms Weir was brought to the Porirua police college before the two-week training course for two days of assessment and evaluation riding.

He needed to be sure that because of her slight build, she could handle the motorcycles' weight and size.

ok, fair enough.



it's not about muscle, it's about learning and maintaining good skilled use of the machine's controls

Huh? make up your mind.....

[motorbike.ventures]

Good for her! But as swoop said, it is surprising it took so long for a women to join, no?

[vifferman]

But......




Where are the pictures?!? What does this alleged female bike cop look like?

i suppose it's old fashioned of me to wonder where the height restrictions went?

The polis have had to gradually lower their standards, otherwise there wouldn't be any pleece at all.

Soon you'll be able to be a pleece even if you're a one-legged, transsexual imbecilic dwarf.




As long as you can eat donuts, and wield a tazer, of course.

Last thing I heard is that they went to Australia....

[Reckless]

Oh shit! just don't get stopped in PMS week.

Actually doesn't matter who dishes out the ticket still the same punishment!!:argue:
Maybe they'll give a free :hug: with every ticket now days!!:girlfight:

[Finn]

Oh shit! just don't get stopped in PMS week.

If I was going to be stopped, I'd rather it was by a female officer. I'd just use my charm and good looks to get off (the ticket).

[Gubb]

The cops have off-road bikes?

Cool.

New Zealand's first policewoman motorcycle officer has donned her helmet and taken to the highway.
Constable Cath Weir, from Christchurch, has qualified to ride the police's big BMW 1200cc motorbikes on the roads and their Honda 250cc machines off road.
She was the first woman to qualify since the police and Ministry of Transport merged in 1992.
National motorcycle instructor, Sergeant Wayne Christie, said Ms Weir was brought to the Porirua police college before the two-week training course for two days of assessment and evaluation riding.
He needed to be sure that because of her slight build, she could handle the motorcycles' weight and size.
"Cath demonstrated greater consistency than other course members and deserves full credit for overcoming her lack of size and weight...it's not about muscle, it's about learning and maintaining good skilled use of the machine's controls," Mr Christie said.

[Tank]

I assume she will be front and center for next years boobs on bikes huh?

[Slingshot]

Is she hot?

[Skyryder]

If memory serves me correctly I think there was a female rider in CHCH back in the ol' MOT days. Anyone know for certain.

[Livvy]

Repost... I think everyone's buzzing a little on this.

In the Biker News forum.

Edit: posts merged. :laugh:

[Dafe]

Thanks for the post - I'd missed the first one! Probably like many others......

Good luck to her.

[SixPackBack]

As long as she's home to make dinner, do the washin', dishes, cleaning and walk the dog I'm all in favour.

The police have 250cc Honda off-road bikes??

For the learners. Even cops have to stick to the rules. The curfew's a real pain when they're on night shift , though.

[EJK]

Police in off-road places too?

[shafty]

If she pulls you up, give her a nudge before she puts the stand down lol

[arj127]

Yep, heres the dirtbikes here.

That's the only significant thing about it :clap: good on her for qualifying.

Fark I remember being pulled over by a MOT patrol bike (one of the old XJ750 Yammys) back in the mid 80s with a chick on board so female bike cops aren't anything new

[Banesto John]

The dirt bikes are used to learn handling skills. They are a lot easier to learn on than the 1150RTs at the College. They get used very occasionally by suitably qualified people for other things, but they are mostly a training aid. Learn to do cone work on the wee bikes, it makes it far easier on the heifers. It's all about technique.

For that matter, anyone can ride a bike fast on a straight road, it's precision slow work that sucks the life out of you.:wacko:

[Sanx]

As a kid on one of my brief trips to NZ in the early 80s, I met one of the first (I think the first) female biker cops in Auckland. She was originally based out of Mt Albert somewhere. Very long straight dark hair, a good 6ft tall and rather solidly built. Apparently the usual look she got from motorists when she pulled her helmet off was a sight to behold. When the council traffic officers became MOT officers, she never bothered transfering and remained with Auckland council as a civilian employee.

Unfortunately, she died a pretty horrible death from cancer last year but she loved bikes up until the very end.

[crazybigal]

Well done lady

http://www.stuff.co.nz/4463324a10.html

on a side note:
the reporter reckons the bike is 460kg!! I Know its a tank but come on!

[PrincessBandit]

Just read the article (had been emailed to me). Quite amazing. Encouraging to all us lightweights that a huge bike isn't necessarily beyond us. Way to go!!

Have a look at the video clip on the other thread about Police bike ("I hope the cops don't get these here" - or similar title)

It shows Jap cops biffing their bikes around a slalom course like they were BMX bikes - and those guy ain't that big either.

Sanx, was her name Diane? I had a friend when growing up who became a bike cop. As she was somewhat older than me, I can't remember where Diane was based. I know her mum lived in east Auckland and that Diane had long brown hair. I haven't seen her for about 20+ years but often wonder how she's doing.
When I saw the article I thought of our friend and thought bullshit that this woman is the first woman cop, but our friend was back in the days of MOT and police, early 80's if not a bit earlier than that. I remember being impressed with her when she'd pull up at our place on the bike (she'd also come over in the car sometimes, always funny looks from people).
Anyway Sanx, if you could PM or post the name, I'd appreciate it.

Forget it. Whether she's hot or not I bet there'll be only two words to describe her.

Vinegar tits.

I like fixing odds in my favour. I'm happy to be 188cm tall and in charge of a 170kg bike.

If she recruits another 20 friends, they'd be able to do this.

Actually just met him......:apint:

[YellowDog]

If she's a good cop, then that's great news.

If she drops the big heavy BMW, she can always call for backup to help lift it.

Those big Beemers don't go over very easily, so she'll be fine.

[CB ARGH]

Love to joy ride one of their bikes :D

[Sollyboy]

The Auckland city council had a female traffic cop in the early 90s, besides its hardly news worthy

[RDJ]

Yes indeed, remember seeing her around Uni - blue eye shadow was her prominent feature (open-face helmet)...

[breakaway]

Woman cop = double ownage :weep:
