Christchurch Police bike trial complete

**Bob** · 31st December 2005, 01:10

A six month trial of motorcycle police officers on traffic duty in Christchurch has come to an end. Two officers have been on traffic enforcement duties - the first time motorcycles have been used in the city since the merger of police and the M.O.T in 1992.

Christchurch police Strategic Traffic Unit head, Senior Sergeant Trevor Pullen, said the trial provided good feedback from the public and the officers have made a positive impact on traffic behaviour.

A decision will be made "in a month" as to the scheme's future.

Bull, those two on bikes were the most arrogant, rude POS cops I have ever come across. I really have time for the cops but these two ruin peoples perspective of the police force.

Ask R1 and Bren.

It's all spin Sniper. Bovine excrement from the biggest producers in the country.

If they ride anything like the two here in the bay, you have nothing to worry bout! Both our local cop bikes are real beat up, constantly dropped

Only Bren and R1? I remember having a chat with one very early in the trial. Oh yeah, I won't forget that in a hurry.

lol was that ur wheelie u did? You should be ashamed of urself, making him pull u over when he could have been chasing that fucker on the 2 stroke 250cc who lives down my road that wakes me up most mornings!

**onearmedbandit** · 31st December 2005, 10:25

Yeah I posted about it ages ago, well probably able 6 months ago. I thought the guy who gave you that ticket was a English cop, didn't think any of our CHIPS (Christchurch Highway Patrol) were imports. Only met one myself though.......so far.

Exactly, I mean a onearmed rider on a gixxer pulling a wheelie should be proof enough that he knows what he is doing on a bike....unfortunately they saw it the other way.

**Bren_chch** · 31st December 2005, 10:29

CHIPS, hehe love it!

Everytime i've been pulled for anythign its been by a pom... must be a pom magnet!

If I get stopped by the bikercop again i'm going to ask him out to the track for a tuesday / friday session. He can even bring his cop bike!

I can imagine his story back at the station....

"I see this biker for doing a wheelie... so I pull him up, and WAIT FOR IT... the fuckers only got one ARM!!!"
