Police target motorcyclists in another safety campaign

[White trash]

Just had a visit from a local Constable informing me of a local/nation wide campaign targeting motorcyclist safety compliance. Licence, rego, WOF, correct gear etc etc.

Aiming at the commuter riders is the impression I got, he and other officers will be targeting high traffic areas around Wellington, Hutt Valley for the next month.

You might get a free muslie bar and a pen that doesn't work and a photo of StoneY on his KTM if you're good.

Seemed like a nice enough chap and bloody good of him to let us know what was happening so we could pass the message on I thought.

Yeah, it is good of them! I am just glad tha they didn't stop me this morning on my way to work - I think that my bike may have blown over.

What business is it of theirs that we wear the "correct gear"

Ok, helmets are compulsary

But if I decide to ride in shorts and jandals its my choice

We must resist these Saftey Nazis....

How is your campaign of resistance against the Spelling Nazis coming along?

[baffa]

Good idea imo.
Probably going to ping half the bikes they pull over for no rego.

[The Pastor]

terrible idea, good time to sell the bike i think!

Oh great. I leave early enough to just beat the traffic and now I risk having a friendly chat with the olice: whilst they poke their beaks around my bike etc and then be left to compete with the cages I was trying to avoid. Shouldn't be so negative, they are only trying to help - yeah

The business that if you are riding yer moped in shorts, teeshirt and jandals, pie in one hand while texting with the other and have an accident, we don't have to pay through ACC to fix yer mother fucking arse

The logical conclusion to that line of argument is NO MOTORCYCLES. Be careful what you wish for.

if they have a pie in one hand and texting with the other then they have them by the short and curlies but ACC still pays just as it does for horse riders and prison escapers.

I wasn't wishing for anything actually. Just sick in constantly seeing idiots in shorts and jandals or lycra riding their skooters / push bikes like morons while rest of us actually cares about our own and everyones safety. Over and Out

I think we have the biggest Moron down here

He rides around in shorts and barefeet and has Ford stickers on his Honda Blackbird

If you are riding legally you have nothing to worry about.

I disagree

If I am riding legally why should I be pulled over at all ?

Being targeted as part of a "campaign targeting motorcyclist safety compliance" is just bullshit plain and simple...
