45 degrees, bit more than slight and a bit more than accident methinks

THIS is a fair point. Awareness is certainly an issue in this case it would seem. If he isn't aware enough to notice the cop, is he aware enough to be pulling mono's off of a set of lights? I red-light runner or similar will fuck you up pretty badly...

some cops have these things called mufti cars, they're a little bit harder to spot than the other type......

The don't do mono when there is any cage about is the safest bet and keeps us looking like civilised road users for when we complain about the next ACC tax increase.
Or could you say we pay an extra premium to cover any additional fun we might undertake while riding.

You're all so fucking high and mighty, live a little.

If he pulled a minger in the middle of a high traffic area as the lights turned green, then the cop probably did him a favour (in helping to prevent him being fast off the lights and possible wheel fodder for a red-light runner).

I recall so many rides from KB where wheelies, while neither big nor clever, were a regular part of the days entertainment. I recall a certain member who cracked it open on the western motorway on his Gixxer 1000 with a mentally loud exhaust and wheelied at speed right past an unmarked cop car...who consequently pulled him over but then let him off any fine.

I bet that half of the chumps on here now would code brown themselves at this sort of carry on. Bet they are subscribers to the WorkSafe newsletters too.

And I do tend to find that most who cry "WHEELIES ARE DANGEROUS!!" and other such blatant bull shit!...have never actually had the skill set required to do them...maybe this is why they make the most noise about "safety" and the "law"

BUT!(As most know)...the popo do NOT! like wheelies anymore

(they used to pull you over with a smile and a light warning for the "good ones"

...not anymore

)...hence you have to be very picky about when & where...and yes, even I am struggling with this "new" concept of limiting my riding fun

(I make a huge effort to "behave" now

...but it does hurts my soul..."thingy"...

)

but it tis the age of bubble wrap and BS fines after all, so we all must make changes...damnit!

Ride safe kbers

...but keep having "naughty fun"
