haha I just stumbled upon this somehow. If any of you people doubting had met 'Lyle' you'd know he is someone who is, to put it nicely, in the wrong profession (although I've heard he's gone now?)

Maybe it's all in the attitude? lol - of all the things I've been called in my life (and theres being a few lol) I can safely say this is the first time I've been called an "alpha male" lmao..... I lived with a police officer (in the romantic sense) for 3 years. I do have a lot of respect for the police - this guys attitude was and is disgraceful and he got the same attitude from me that he gave to me..... if he'd approached me in a civil type manner he would have seen a completely different side of me. It's not rocket science - treat others as you yourself want to be treated.

Fastchk and the feds. We still talk of the car towing incident.
Lets face it generally cops do a good job (if youve been in a country under military rule ..then cops are awesome) I wouldnt want to be one cos they have to put up with so much shit (& abuse) However when dealing with motorcyclists they are usually a buch of A***holes. (with a few exceptions) Booking bikers for wheelies saying they are not in control...........do they not know the control required to"pull a 160+ minger" etc etc. Personally have found they are easily lost if on the open road........ not as persistant as UK cops with plenty of back up & those bloody helicopters. But not so easy if they manage to corner you n a busy street. BUGGAR As you were..............
Akaroa got my attention. Shame to have missed the thread discussed here. I was at Bullys and saw your group pull up and leave again later on, also had my bike parked on the gravel next to the sea wall as always - and will no doubt be in your photo, which I and others also saw being taken. So I hope there is no issue with parking there, I can't see why as long as the footpaths are clear. A lot of people like to walk along and take a look at the bikes when they are parked up there, and you often get accosted by interested pedestrians asking what the bikes are etc as you come and go. It is quite a drop off the curb along there and I also usually go slowly along the path then off on the low point a bit further along. To ping riders for doing that, slowly and safely would be a bit shameful. Hopefully that is the end of it, will find out next time I'm there....

I didnt actually reply to the question that was asked about how much the ticket was - my friend who had let me use her FB page texted me and asked me how much my ticket was for - So i told her... i didnt realise she was replying to a question that had been asked. A police officer is just a human being like the rest of us - I will treat him/her with the same respect they afford me. Interesting to me that all these gossipy men on their cruisers (it would seem) that are so un-interested in this subject - have all taken the time to read the rather long blog and THEN they took even more time out of their precious life to comment on it. LMAO "Tosspotcop" wasn't a member until his buddy on this forum advised him of the posting - he claims to have ridden in the past.....(tui billboard coming on here lol) I do find it interesting that the people all bagging me on this blog seem to have an opinion on numerous blogs.....it would appear they are all self appointed experts on all subjects purely on account of how long they spend talking about bikes. on this site... the reason I've only posted on this site a few times is because I spend more time riding my bike rather than just talking about riding my bike on some website....... Safe riding to one and all - hopefully by me making it public about the threat to ticket motorcyclists in akaroa "tosspotcops" VERY public denial of this will actually make it impossible for himn to carry through on what he threatened - he might look like a bit of an ass now if he does actually ticket one of you huh...... You can all thank me later lol xxx
When retards go bad.
I believe you got pinged for riding an un-redgested bike and not as you said parking on the footpath. Then used KB to try to drum up support for a lie and drop the cop in trouble. Tospotcop 1, Drama queen 0 . Great thread while it lasted pity it was a load of crap.
for riding on the footpath fair enough bkes are meant to be on the road and im sure with you spouting all that crap your fukin lucky just to get that if the copper was /is a member of this forum and he rides he obviously thought your riding on the footpath was well stupid so shut up pay the fine LEARN from it and move on
O for fookin awesome!

I think you should have gotten a ticket for not being able to form a paragraph. By Christ is that dribble hard to read. Anyhoo. I gather this copper is a member of Kiwibiker, since he is being referred to by name. Can he get on here and stir it up a bit please? I'm a tad bored this arvo and this has all the hallmarks of a real good shit fight!

Clearly you cared enough to read the "drama queens" blog. Touche
And you are perfectly entitled to your opinion - dosen't mean you are correct. I have gone through the original posting I put and yes I said I recieved a ticket and that I was stopped for being on the footpath - both of which are true (my original posting was made just after the ride while I was still extremely pissed off about the incident with the officer - perhaps I didnt explain myself clearly - as self righteous as you have come across I'm sure you've been guilty of a mistake or two in your life). I'm not sure how you manged to get 3 versions of this as I have only written about this incident twice??? I didn't say that the ticket I received was a "parking ticket". But make no mistake - it was made VERY clear to me that next time there would be a ticket issued for being on the footpath and there is only one way to get on and off the shingle at akaroa - yeap you need to cross the footpath. Yes I most certainly did treat the officer in the same manner he treated me - and I wont be apologising for that. Have a lovely day.

There appears to be several inconsistencies with your story. You've told three rather different versions of the same story so far - which (if any) should we believe...? The key issue is that you claimed to have been given a ticket for parking on the footpath, which is untrue. On the basis of that lie, you encouraged others to take action over the ficticious ticketing. You've posted the lie using someone else's account, then logged in from your own account and posted claiming to be a third party. It's kinda hard to accept anything you say might be believable, eh...? It appears that the only thing you and the officer agree on is your own abusive and antagonistic attitude on the day, and that speaks for itself. Case closed...
