Interesting thought

Yeah but as per usual it'll only get talked about on here and none of the keyboard heroes will do it

You think wrong, but don't worry you are not alone in this aspect on KB.

Are the police qualified to do thorough mechanical checks? I think not.

still waiting for a copy of the safety flyer or am I gonna have to come find a checkpoint to get one?

[red mermaid]

Yep, you will have to find a checkpoint because I don't know where they are, and I'm not working round here for next 5 weeks.

There was one at Sanson this morning as I rode through on my bike, but I wasn't stopped.

If a vehicle has a warrant and rego it is safe to be driven or ridden, and it it's operator has a license they're competent to use it in any and all driving/riding conditions.

And if they're doing under 110 kmh (104 kmh on public holidays) and not drunk they are driving safely.

hmmm, would have thought in the interests of safety such a flyer would be made more available (the internet is for distributing information as well as bitching doncha know), though maybe the 'exam' is more of a priority than the lecture notes...

If they think its unroadworthy ... they pink sticker it, and then its YOUR problem to get it checked/fixed ...

Still waiting to see any rozza's where I ride.
They are scared of gravel.
Gets dust on their donuts.

Slowly losing total respect for the road highway men/ N Smith lap dogs.
Great to see a judge throw 40 speeding tickets out of his court because he sees them as a waste of policing powers.
One day this country will get educated men/women into the right channels to deal with several issues in our community.
ie Alcohol education, and driver education.
Sadly, if they leave it up to polly's and rozza's, the deaths will rise, and so shall the taxes.
Both parties are incompetent. MHO

fair point.

Seeing as how you are so concerned go to Ohakea and ask for one, or Palmy station.

From Monday ACC & the Police will be having road blocks targeting motorcycles checking them over with a fine tooth comb.

Conspiracy theorists may think: (Payback time for protestig about ACC levys)
Surely not?

Surely you're just talking about you Diesel Bears, aren't ya? I'd hate to see someone who does bail and home d checks as their daily bread trying to figure out how much float is too much on my rotors. Rogerrr?

[Hans]

Oh yeah, and when you've had your evil way with my bike, can I have one of those nice yellow level 3 stickers that give me 30 days peace and quiet?

[red mermaid]

Cops did have other jobs before they joined the Police and without doing any research I can easily name 3 qualified mechanics, and a panelbeater who are now doing GDB.
