Dont you dare suggest K.B. is anything but factual , true and valid. FFS Cops can not say the bikers on K.B. are Stupid when we all read it and know its real. Get a better Smoko team i say.

Your work associates don't believe many of our explanations as to why we were speeding either ... they seem to be a disbelieving lot ...

I wasn't offered the chance of inspecting the radar, or the certificates for the radar and speedo. he took my details but didn't issue a ticket - this arrived in the post a few days later - does this invalidate the ticket? I've been told I have to have the opportunity to inspect radar and certs and that a ticket has to be issued on the spot unless they can't catch you! Appreciate your thoughts.

Shoulda been riding an old blue Ducati, Problem solved

If your psycic powers told you you were about to get a ticket, why didn't you slow down???

No psychic powers needed. I had just sped up to overtake a large truck and was still at 117 km and slowing down as I rounded the bend, and there on the side of the road about 400 m ahead, was the Omarama cop. For that guy a ticket is gauranteed, and no excuse or reason will be accepted.

Fuck now the cats out of the bag.
