Wellington Wednesday Night Cruisy Summer Rides (TCWNR) 2010-2011

[davebullet]

I had to visit my accountant (tax time - was a depressing affair).

Well - here's hoping next week's weather is as much of a standout as this week.

It was a good turn out and some really nice bikes.

damn that's excellent quality video, what sort of camera is it?

[sinned]

Panasonic HDC-SD700
Raw quality is far better than what you see on youtube. The camera man needs more practice.

[Roxymoron]

Are the rides still held if the weather sucks?

The first guy on the ZX10 needs to think about his overtaking spots a little more carefully........................

Naughty Kerry. Changed those tyres yet?

Boy did Chris aka Carbonhead and I have a night to remember tonight

We arrived at the bottom of Paekakariki Hill and had just pulled onto the highway when a police station wagon pulled in front with its lights on and just crawled. We crawled behind thinking that it was some kind of moving block when the cop stopped and aggressively yelled at us to pull the bikes over
Well within a minute we have 3 cop cars and then the questions started
Turns out that 2 bikes had just been clocked doing 165+km southbound from Raumati straights and had done a runner

We said how we had been to Lower Hutt and then Rimutakas and were on our way home
One of the police asked if we could verify our story but really though we were telling porkies
I mentioned how we had just had our regos taken down at the duck pond tonight by another police car and how he could check with the lower hutt police to verify or call the manager at the Royal
Got to say that after I mentioned to the cop about been a bit aggressive when he pulled us over he then went on to say that he was going to knock us off the bikes using his station wagon had we not stopped
Shame how one policeman (middle aged and experienced) can alter you open view on the NZ Police

On the plus side it was a great group as usual and welcome to the new riders who joined tonight. Hope you guys had a great time

Now THIS is interesting. So which ride is causing the probelms Constable Bruce, TRTNR or TCWNR?

No doubt you'll fill us in tonight.............

[ajturbo]

did you ask why they were taking down the rego numbers??

think I would have covered mine up if they were doing that....

Did you write down THEIR numbers???? if not, why not???

[Quasi]

C'mon Darryn - fess up You and Chris are the Kapiti speed fiends!!
Hey - was great to see you all - what a turnout, lots of old friends and lots of new ones too. A perfect night for TCWNR.

Hi Darryn

Did you get this Police officers Badge Number?
That is a SERIOUS breach of Police pusrsuit policy, they are required to pull you over from behind, as you explained he seemd to be making a rolling block

To even suggest he was going to knock you both off is a serious misconduct on his behalf
PM me if you can identify the officer involved, I will be meeting with the regional commander in the near future, and will raise this incident with him

Patrick, Scumdog and many 'decent' cops who post here on KB would be aghast at this treatment

I know Chris's riding style very well from numerous WNCR's. I just cant see him or anyone he rides with requiring such hefty tactics.

Thanks Brent. No numbers unfortunately... thought about it too late.

The nasty prick was quite adamant that we were going to get punted if we'd failed to stop but didn't actually say "Pull over driver" or anything. We just bimbled along behind him for 50 or 60 metres wondering WTF was going on and then he indicated left and pulled across in front of us and we all came to a halt. Then we get the hyper aggression with him reaching for some device on his belt.

Both officers talked about knocking motorcyclists off their machines.

We just rode off the end of the Paekark Hill and into a pursuit situation that had nothing to do with us.

They had no ID on the fleeing bikes and we were handy.

Professionals my arse.
