So, was anybody ticketed?

**Conquiztador** · 18th November 2009, 06:21

I had no warrant (did run outta time to get it sorted)
i very seldom rode under 100k/h while riding down and back home. I did see 7 policecars on the way back home. And EVERY TIME I was either speeding, passing in middle white area, crossing yellow lines or pulling in between cages as the police came against me. Once the cop car flashed it's lights at me. And that was all I got!

Everybody else as lucky?

We were were told by a little birdy wearing some blue that a bike was clocked going through Sanson, or maybe it was Shannon, at 195kmph.... they didn't catch them... I don't think they bothered giving chase. (Said man in blue was giggling a little from out the side of his mouth about it, we laughed openly!

I observed a remarkable number of police cars on the ride out of Wellington.

Of course, I never speed, speed kills, this I know, for the government tells me so, but the detector said they never even checked .

There was one point I was very pleased tat they have cheescutters down the middle of the road. They are nasty but they do make it impractical for certain people to do U turns.

All gone by the time I turned off onto the Shannon Woodville road.

i saw one the whole way home, and he stuck out like a dogs balls cos he had his tail lights on. was on the corner by the turn off to kaitoke prison. was sitting between 110-120 the whole way once i got clear of the traffic, which was great. got home at 7.45.

The coppers musnt of had their radars on.. I was sitting on 90k all the way home. That was once we got outta the wind in wellington... The speed limit for learners (in case anyone has forgotten) is 70

I passed a rider on a yellow Ducati Monster who had been pulled over on SH1, only an hour or so out of Wellington. Earlier he had passed me (and I wasn't crawling). I hope he still has his licence.

fully agree. considering he only just got his license, he was easily one of the best riders ive seen. kept to his spot in the lane, kept a steady speed and stayed on james' tail almost the whole time. bloody impressed!
