Police announce change of sponsor

Unless you have regular fully gridlocked traffic I can't see the point of Police motorbikes. That, and the fact the Queen doesn't visit us much are my guess as to why there are no bikes in Dunedin.

Because even in moderate traffic they routinely arrive at accident scenes earlier than anything else. There was a bike ambulance set up for Kapiti a few years ago, precisely because any accident up that coast usually stops all traffic on the only access road. Fire engines, cop cars, ambulances, forget all that shit, they might as well not bother.

And do what when they get there? Paramedics I can understand, Police not so much.

I have no idea what they do when they get there late.

But whatever it is they always seem to be in a fucking hurry to do it.

Do all the traffic/people control that the Ambos can't - and try to preserve/mark out the scene/take photos etc beofre the other services arrive and tear things apart.


I think...

...Same plonkers just bought us Hondas instead of decent patrol bikes.

Did you hear about one of the new Hondas up this way getting binned already? I think it's the first move in a diabolical plan to get rid of all the Hondas...

The Queen has visited once before. I guess she saw all she needed to ...

A cunning plan.

They have a thing or two to learn from us down here. We torched the one we didn't like......

I thought it was a beemer you toasted - which is why you're now riding gay...

Get all of the tickets sorted out, written and issued. Arrange the donut display into "colours of the rainbow" sequence (ROYGBIV). Hand out gay "vest's of invincibility" to all spectators who didn't provide their own hi-faggotry vest. Lastly, fend off overly nosey media.

You left out "shoot the neighbour's dog and taser some school kids" safer communities together.

It took me a long time to convince the bosses to bring them back in Christchurch. Then I spent 7 years riding them.

Hardly pointless, creating your own dream job.

Job done.

Nothing has changed in yonks though so no real point coming back. It's not like she is going to get on 2 wheels and see the interesting bits
