So which one are you? I dont wanna call your mate rastus, he might get a bit agro about that

Likewise. Had a ride Friday arvo, enjoyed it so much so went out again yesterday. Never saw popo!
However having read the previous posts I now realise that having Rego/WOF/License and more or less keeping to the speed limit makes Police invisible.
Who knew?

Or could it be because I usually come through Gebbes and pop out on after Millers Road?

It's the last letter of our callsigns. It helps us to ID each other from behind. It arose from motorcade work, where we work in front of the lead Popo car. They had trouble telling one bike from the other, so we put the last number (mines a letter, S for sergeant) of our callsign on the back.

Being in the Popo, we watch our backs out of habit. Be careful

Ahh, so thats the reason I have not even been looked at in the past 9 mths, Reg/WOF/Licance all legit. Dang. Makes me invisible to the police too? Or could it be that my riding habits have changed since becoming legit, and have stops riding like an idiot, (over the speed limit)

Nice work on the pulls of the unlicensed riders, pity you were not doing the bays yesterday, saw some terrible riding between lyttelton and the wheatsheif, Overtaking on blind corners and speeds that were not safe. And I am not a slow rider around the hills myself.
