Why are cops beating speeding motorcyclists?

This thread is so entertaining, I just can't keep away from it.

Keep up the hilarious posts.....

You can blame your R1/R6 counterparts for that. Sadly even though you have a completely different engine your bike looks exactly like all those bikes that have done runners from the cops.
You are assuming the cops will be able to tell the difference.

Are you trying to tell me that cops are sooo stupid they cant tell R1, R6 and R125 apart (no disrespect to R125 owners i think they are the nicest learner bike out there)...but the difference is fucking obvious.
And since i think i have just answered my own question...even if they cant tell them apart are you trying to tell me that most cops are such a vindictive cunts that they will pull over even learner biker for random "probing" just because some other biker might have done a runner from them....

I could almost guarantee it has happened before. Remember to a lot of non-motorcyclists a GSXR1000 looks the same as a CBR600 looks the same as R125. Like to a lot of sportsbike riders all cruisers look the same. And you don't think that a cop who see's a blue and white bike weaving through traffic and lifting the front isn't going to look closer at the next blue and white sportsbike he see's rolling past?

Aren't they?

Aren't they?

Yes they are. And no sportsbike is better than any other, they all suck on gravel.

Ah don't worry it's just ol Anthrax showing off, he has one of "those" bikes and it can go almost anywhere.last time i rode with him he took us down a perfectly good sealed road only to find that all of the bottom of the gulleys were 6" deep in metal! Funny thing no one fell off in the metal but after it, te he he.
Thursday night ride soon there Anthrax?

T.E. Lawrence was certainly killed riding a Brough Superior SS100 ... racing the airplane is a bit of mythology ... but we all sling the bullshit now and then ...

Not necessarily. Lawrence was killed on his bike it's true, and that he raced an aeroplane is also true. It's just that the two weren't connected.

Kikaha was right. I've posted this previously, but to assist you with your research here it is again...

It's a good read.

never said its ALWAYS someone elses fault...but its our lives and we are allowed to treat them as we see appropriate....dont need police and their nanny attittude trying to protect my "well being"

but ..

Yeah probably lots of bikers kill themselves...thats the way it is and always will be. Lots of base jumpers kill themselves to...and nobody is crying about it, dangerous activity is..just dangerous thats all.

Never said YOU said it is always someone elses fault. It aint all about you......

As for protecting your wellbeing - when you smear yourself all over the highway, instead of picking up the pieces, can we just hose you off down the gutter? Mum and dad, your friends brother/sister whatever won't mind, will they? Do we have to go and tell them as well? Or can we just keep it a secret from them?

And base jumpers.....? Yer what? How many in NZ..... ever.....? (in comparison to bikers, that is.....)

You miss the point a lot, dontcha..........?

Ok if you are cops and also BIKERS stop fucking whinging like little bitches about some 'other' bikers on here riding bit fast....if you have serious conflict of "interest" because of your job dont come here to tell us how to fucking ride just because you have obligation to your profession!

Nah.... the only whingers are the ones getting the tickets. Have never whinged about anyone speeding. Some examples might help...?

For the same reason they beat speeding car drivers? (Just a thought....)
