Please don't be so quick to give Charley a hard time guys, he has and continues to do a lot for motorcyclists.
I ride the dirt, I ride the tide
I search the outside, search inside
I know I'll always burn to be
Remind me of what left this outlaw torn
~ The Outlaw Torn (Metallica: Load 1996)
"Every time police have interaction with motorcyclists at a track day, rider training day, or in a positive way, it's my opinion that they gain respect from motorcyclists, and the general public alike.
This can only be good for the police, and a positive influence for the motorcyclist.
An absolute thumbs up to you and your guys for playing the game that way.
But in Tasman, that's not how they are playing it."
Thats not what I am hearing from my contacts in Nelson. The check has been positive for 3 of them including 1 of the police offering some set up advice for my friends BMW F650. The policeman owns the same model.
It's also the catch phrase from the public & the judiciary for petty ticketing by the cops lest their KPIs look bad. It's the difference between fair, and just. Quotas seemed to have undermined the cops' ability to apply discretion to decide between those two.
Probably phuck all, just like rest of us who know nada about it.
Cheers,
Colin
