As for the so called "crack down" ..... they do and say that all the time anyway.

ALTHOUGH, I must admit I was VERY suprised to see a cop on SH29 towards the Oko last Thursday. Not as suprised as he was when I took my helmet off though.

Hmmm $240 fine is still cheaper than rego.
Guess you have to budget how many fines you expect to get per year. 1-2 and you're getting a better deal! (for over 600's)!

Was it more like "play with the balls!"?

Ok there is the pre-xmas stress factor which makes the victims a bit agro. As a year round rider it is easy to forget there are a lot of summer riders out there.

Ah yep, and as a year round rider myself, I think I got scowled by one of the part time fair weather pilots....

I pulled a cop up today, he wasn't aware of any specific crack down

A lick of yellow paint here and there on the Valkyrie and you wouldn't see it against the cop car...

Most people sometimes make incorrect assumptions - you seem to be one who makes a career of it....
Too bad you don't know how to admit your mouth got ahead of your brain capacity and just say - whoops, sorry got that wrong (again).
