What would you prefer?

[scumdog]

Yeah but rastuscat isn't willing to settle for that. He wants to either hunt you down and ticket you, or hunt you down and get engaged to you. Non-molestation isn't an option in the poll.

Sheesh, I don't know how I managed all these years...maybe I was always travelling at just the right speed all the time or something???

Or didn't emit the 'stop me' aura??

Yeah, funny thing that. I ride bikes both at work and personally. I've never been stopped while riding my personal bike. Perhaps it coz I don't ride like a dick.

But if I ever get stopped it'll be someone else's fault. I used to love blaming Helen Clark, and it's just too easy to blame Phil Goff. I'll probably do what everyone else does, blames it on revenue collecting, quotas, corruption, blah, blah, blah.

I think you better get a bigger tinfoil hat

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Kickaha again.

I dont get whats so hard about following rules... you end up so much richer if you do .

So you haven’t been stopped in many years because you where behaving yourself?
So if you to be pulled over to have your bike checked over and lectured on how dangerous it is out on the road you would still be Okay with that?
Or would you be a little bit miffed as they are pulling you over because you ride just to tell you to be safe as people drive past talking on cell phones, playing with GPS units and being deathly scared of using indicators and mirrors?

Here is the scenario, Saturday morning and it’s a mint day as you slip through the cool air with your bike purring away under you.
Off for a coffee in the back of beyond and catch up with some mates.
You round a corner and get waved to the side by a cop who asks to see your licence, Reg/WoF and then gives your bike the once over.
While this is eating into your day some other nameless face tells you to look for cars and other tidbits you have known since you rode a pushy to school.

Now, how’s your mood?

It’s not being stopped for speeding that the concern stems from, it’s being stopped just for shits and giggles that most of us don’t want.

In 32 years of riding/driving I have yet to have that happen

If that's the worst thing that ever happens to you on a bike, you're a lucky man. Or woman. Or other.

[Pseudonym]

Just a scenario, it’s being pulled over JUST because we’re on bikes that concerns me.
I haven’t had it happen, but I would prefer too keep it that way.
Wasn’t the point to this thread to ascertain whether we would be happy about being stopped for a “safety” chat or not?
A continuation on a previous scheme by ACC and the police?
Or am I in the wrong thread or have missed the point?

If I have missed the point you have my apologies and I’ll go lurk in another thread.

I think you have missed the point. I think the idea was to have police interacting with the public (willingly, and voluntarily) to talk about road safety issues and adress concerns etc. Not them pulling you over meaninglessly to have a chat..

i.e It'd be an event or something that you could go along to, no doubt with free donuts involved too. Maybe even the tyre-shredding kind if it were in the right location

[Pseudonym]

Oh I see…
That I’d go to.

doesn't have to be the worst thing to be bad. Leave us alone (unless we're actually breaking the law and you can prove it)

[rastuscat]

Imagine the problems I'd have selling that to my boss.

I set up a stall at a roadside, and put up a sign saying 'voluntary stop and chat to a motorcycle Popo, but only if you want to'.

After a day of sitting and speaking to the 2 motorcyclists who can actually be arsed stopping, and watching the hundred or so others ride past, I'm guessing it'd be pretty hard to sell that to my boss. No matter how good the 2 interactions were, I'd have wasted a degree of time.

The free donuts would probably be gone by morning tea, as I shuffled from foot to foot, pondering my existence. The sign saying Free Donuts would be well hidden, coz I ain't sharin dem wif nobody...........

Where's the fun in that?

Tee hee.......
