I'll be there We're gonna stop traffic on the Sockburn roundabout so the group can get out all at once.

We'll be riding along too, coz we're as much at risk of .......um.......that nasty bloody miserable disease anyone.

Also, the organizer has promised us a donut stall will be at Little River.

No laser Sunday. Now, Saturday, that's a different story..........

The Popo on duty spent a few hours on SH75 on Saturday, operated a death ray, but caught nothing.

Bloody good result, I say. Nil revenue collected, but lots of people saw him so the deterrent has spread. Great bang for the buck.

Sunday we rode with the FBMC Blue September Ride, helped raised some dosh for a good cause, shot the breeze lots and generally had a good time. Work? Yes it was, but great for forming better relations with the biker mob.

I'm the Popo on duty next weekend, see yaz all out there.

Donuts.

So was it you and your mate that were my police escort through the clouds over the hilltop and cleared the slow traffic between little river and the blue duck?

A mate of mine is a train driver. Bet your ass he was not speeding. If you think the penalties for speeding on a bike are draconian, try losing your livelihood for getting pinged. And if you have any sort of incident. Anything at all, the first thing they do is piss test you.

The amount of people who dont see trains is staggering. sometimes they die.

Bring it on I say, if they can't see a 200 tonne hunk of metal that doesn't vary off where it should by even one fucking centimetre then how the hell are they going to see me on my bike? It's not like there's no warning signs and strange stripes on the road where they will be is it?
let em all get squashed, I think it's reffered to as the Darwin Theory.

Not disagreeing with you by any means. My point was that train drivers are very aware of what they're doing and where they're going. apparently it is quite stressful if they do hit someone all the same. Hasnt happened to my mate but it has to people he knows. Having to hose someone out of a squashed car is not how they'd choose to spend the morning. Plus there is a mountain of paperwork too (someone callous might say that would be the worst part)

Or perhaps he just doesn't take himself too seriously...

*warning, poster under the inflewence of Keller 9% beer*

well ya not very good then, you followed me leading the mob and I bust many a law in that hour... but hey thats not what it was about... I conmend your outlook here on KB as a copper, that aint easy at all aye, ya got balls and my resepct
Thing is I lisened to your speach re: cos you give a shit about 75 and bikers etc and I dont doubt that for a second, but were is the problem on 75? yes as you said in the weekends best place to wipe out... but zoom in here, your figgers are they between TT and LR, or cooptown and Acker's are they bikes wipeing out on there own or are others involved?
You said you are doing op Mataki cos you give a shit, I dont doubt that for a minute, but Im betting the complaints from locals have a lot to do with it to. So often I have seen cage drivers doing dumb shit on 75 from sitting at 65kph to dogey passing, seen bikers do pleanty of arse wipe moves to... thing is its the minorty fucking it up for the majority... aye?

Now my other gripe is the ami, iam, mai who ever it is you promoted at LR, yes ya have to start somewere and they are a good starting point as is the book from pngo land they base there theroy on.
BU... shit fat fingers add a T to that (hey I warned ya I was on 9% beer, hey sprog and missus less) BUT and I have to say I should read that shit before spouting off... BUT defensive riding and good lines is only part of it, the other part is body position that puts the rider and bike in a safe place.

Lets go back to the fund raiser ride, I had a VTR 1000 following me yes Im a critacal bastard but altho he was keeping a similer pase as me I seen him cross the fog and center line, IMO rider training can be done beter and safer, ok most would not agree with me as I combine racing lines and positions with road lines etc, works for me and not all, pitty it costs so much in this country of ours to do shit right.. ahh well... what was my point again?

Fark Dangerous . i thought it was only tuesday nites ya mrs and the kids , deserted ya for the evening. Don't set fire to that lovely new kitchen with ya fry up
