Warning: Cops are watching KB.

[Velox]

Yep, the cop that pulled over one of our TRTNRs asked, "you must be on the Kiwi Biker ride?" (bet you're regretting that now buddy!) So they're watching the site and are actually keeping track of who's hooning where (well, in this case anyway) unless one of our resident cops are dobbing us in.

So not posting names, places, ride destinations or pics with numberplates is prob a very good idea! Which is a worry cause there's lots of labelled pics of us with our bikes (incl number plates)! Hmmm - actually, that doesn't necessarily mean we were riding them at the time that X happened though.

Anyway, just a word or warning that the disturbing suspicions are true. I'm not trying to tell people to simmer down our riding - just encouraging people to be more 'resourceful'!

[Karma]

Some of us have known this for a while now...

I doubt it's any of the resident cops that are spying, as it where, but this is an open forum and so anyone can read anything that is posted.

Most of the stuff that's said on here they can't go on because it's classed as hear'say or something, and so can't be used in evidence.

But if you post up that you did a runner and didn't get caught or some other such shit, then don't be surprised if the rossers cross reference your bike to anyone they've had problems with recently.

noticed the difference with a forum i'm on over here in west aust........ they seem to assume that public posts are being watched and for many rides details seem to be passed around only by pm

I'm sorry, but i had to laugh at ya post Velox.
IMHO; i don't care if the police monitor KB (there could be advantages to that I'm sure) I'm sure they usually only pull ya over if ya done something bloody stupid anyway...........my point is though i would be more worried about the underhanded (illegal intentions) ppl watching the site getting bike, Reg & Addy's.
after all it is the Internet

A lot of what has been organised on KB lately could draw nada but praise from the police, surely.
Taking stunting and drags off the streets, mentoring new riders, track days, tuition, etc etc.
Socialy responsible we are - and wtf there's three? regular mr plod posters anyway?!?

I've got better things to do than sit on the side of the road waiting for a bunch of motorcyclists to come roaring past... and I'm sure most people are not stupid enough to post time, date, road, rego of their silly acts.

Me thinks a bit of paranoia going on here.

Could be those new helmets I saw a bike cop in few days ago - black visor and very stormtrooper.
The kit was looking pretty good actually.

I reckon it's WINJA cleverly disguising himself as a cunt.

[GR81]

[deathstar]

or you could always use the line "wow you must have really been speeding to keep up with me"

[Sniper]

Who cares, let them watch. Doesn't bother me.

[peripheral]

Time to start lining your helmets with tinfoil.

A timely reminder that the Internet is a very public place so a bit of caution on posting personal details etc is fine but no need to change what we do really.

Anybody who brags about their less than legal activities on the net has to take their chances.......
