    Worse work stories

    Yo all

    Had a crap start to a day at work today. Rolled up and grabbed the bike keys, and hit the road. In the rain. Bollocks.

    Staked out an intersection, waiting for some miscreant to blow the lights. Took maybe 5 minutes, before a bloke on a GN125 cruised through a red arrow, turning left toward me. Anyway, flashing lights etc later, there we wuz, chatting at the roadside. Turned out he was running late for work, blew the light intentionally. At least he was honest.

    Thing is, he produced a full car licence, and apologized profusely for not having a bike licence. Tickets later, away to work he walked. If he shows me evidence of the new bike learners within 3 weeks, I'll cancel that ticket. I'd rather he spent dosh on getting a licence, than paying senseless fines.

    Next dude wasn't wearing his seatbelt, straightforward tickety wickety, he even thanked me for it. Full time professional drivers, we get so many of them forgetting to put their seatbelts on coz they don't wear one at work.

    Next bloke, red light, as red as Rudolphs nose. I was expecting at least token resistance from him, but he fully fessed up. He didn't agree when checks showed him to be disqualified, and I then spent the next 45 minutes sorting out the paperwork for impounding his car, and sorting out his court appearance.

    Man, when will folk just have the bloody licences for the vehicles they use?

    Harumph.

    Im sure your bosses are laughing at you Rastus. They are the ones that failed to meet the non existant "Quota" so now they have cushy office jobs with a window in order to laugh their testicles off as you ride out in the rain.
    Their work stories are better.

    " I stayed in my air conditioned office devising ways to justify my position and ensure that stupid coont continues to have his own better work stories by going out in the rain in an attempt to met the non existent "quota" and his own desire to save the world."

    Their work stories are better than yours .

    Watched Highway Cops. One was obviously exasperated at the attitudes of a couple of young women who thought they were exceptions to the rule. Looked like he wanted to bang their heads together...

    The coppa on the s bend in the Kawerau gorge must have been there since the brass. Staying on ones own side (whole body) without crossing the centre line just increases the G forces and exhilaration of riding.

    No Rastus, today the sun WILL shine, every motorist will obey the rules, give correct braking distance between cars, everyone WILL be licensed, Motorcyclists will not split lanes like they are fucktards. Everyone you stop WILL be polite, courteous and thank you for your assistance....

    Oh look a pink porcine just flew past my window!!
