My brother has no motorcycle license of any sort not even a learners.
He was sent on his way without any infringement notices being written and says he barely got a warning.
Supposedly the last thing the cop said to him was "i never pulled you over, if they find out about this ill be in the shit"

If I could be certain it was true I would be laying a complaint against this officer on the basis of if he is letting this go what else is he turning a blind eye to?
I just cant believe this story though.
What do you guys think? Anybody here got a similar (true) experience.

You can't decide whether or not your brother is full of shit, then how do you expect us to? And then you ask a question and don't like the answers you get. What would you like us to say?

Oh I nearly forgot, don't forget ya (I put 'ya' instead of 'your' so you understand me) ABC's

Accept nothing
Believe no one
Check everything

Ok, you ride a Boulevard so are exempt from this question, but what exactly is the point of a big sportsbike? Riding around at 104km/h? I think not.

The rider is a wanker for telling his brother, he must have known that he is the type who writes letters to the editor etc. Rather than laying a complaint about the cop perhaps the OP would be better to grass his brother up for riding without a licence? Or is it only the Police who can do wrong?

I agree.
You claim this bloke is your brother FFS., and you don't know if its a windup.

I'd just let him have his bs moment and quietly think "you idiot" regardless of whether it was (a) true or (b) he thought he was getting one over you.

At the end of the day only you know your brother we'll enough to judge for yourself. My only question is - why did he leave out the details of the cop wearing one of those sexy cop dress up outfits and the extra bits about " you've been a very very bad boy, you know I need to punish you"...

Probably true. Mine told me that he either had to let me go or arrest me. I was 18 or 19 at the time. He had me dead to rights. I think in my favour I dropped to me knees, admitted everything, and sucked really hard. I was going a tad faster than your brother, probably in a far far stupider place.

That was a long time ago. I'm surprised that in today's environment full of goody two shoe wankers and tiny video cameras, such discretion would be offered. I didn't repent all of my speeding ways, but I still give all police officers the benefit of the doubt in most matters. Probably the biggest lesson I learnt that day was treat them like human beings and they'll reciprocate.

So your bro gave head rather than complaining?

I reckon it's possible that your brother encountered one of the good sorts who realises a fucking good scare & being let off actually leaves a longer lasting impression than being ticketed/bike impounded.

Shame then that this good sort could lose his job due to a complaint from a third party.

But then it's not true is it? A telling off lasts until you realise that you got away with it, and as you are no closer to a ban you might let your speed creep up a bit, knowing you might get off again next time. Demerits leave a two year lasting impression.

Damn toot in' right.

And particularly if the dingbat crashed and anybody was hurt/killed.

Then it would be "If the cop had done his job properly this wouldn't have happened"
