Highway 75 ChCh - Speed trap - Thanks and get f***ked

**Molly** · 31st January 2010, 11:00

Riding towards Christchurch this morning on the 75 (?). Numerous bikes in groups and individually coming towards me, presumably, on their way to Akaroa. Of them all just ONE biker took the trouble to warn me about the speed trap I was about to hit just before Tai Tapu.

So, a big thanks to that rider (Ducati I think) and a huge GET F***ED to the rest of them.

Did ya get pinged?

Cheers for the heads up anyway, heading out that way soon.

I find that rather sad. I find I get warned about most speed traps, and I can't believe bikers didn't warn you.

One of the reasons I never ride to Akaroa in the weekend - I went on Thursday morning and had a lovely, fast (by my standards) trip.

Is there a reason they would decide not to warn you ... ?

Is there a reason why they should warn you?

what is a speed trap??? A cop waiting with his camera? Well, you shouldn't speed and if you choose to you should be prepared to suffer the consquences.

Oh, must have missed that bit of new law....you are required to notify others that a police officer is at work?!

Thats what bikers do...look out for each other ..but clearly not so much these days.

Had a similar experience myself in the Waikato...guy on a Goldwing returned my wave (which to me says "its all good ahead" but 200m further down was Plod and his ray gun.

I couldn't beleive it.

LAMx2 Bikers should wear a flashing lite...so you can tell them apart from "real" humans.

OK. Well, you’re all obviously from a generation that couldn’t give two f***s for anybody but yourselves. Out of interest, is there a way in which you fifth columnists identify each other?

Regardless, I'm relieved that there are still some decent people on here (and on the roads).
