Warning: Cops are watching KB.

[madboy]

It's always a bit of entertainment to read what a cross-section of motorcycling society has to say on this topic. It seems the inflated egos are out talking themselves up, the naive do-gooders are out talking others down, and even the hooligans are offering opinions - although quite on what I'm not sure.

Since most humans are emotional creatures, facts and best practice are not always allowed to get in the way of a good story.

and if they are watching the goings on here I'm sure its nothing new?

True, but it's the first time I've heard actual confirmation that they know of the rides because of KiwiBiker.



It's not actually a big issue - the original post was just a comment/warning that cops may be using KB! People get real over-analytical on here eh - take yer pills children.

hehe, must admit I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all that and I just can't resist adding my two cents!

I like doing dodgy things on my bike every now and then, I can't help it, honest! I get grumpy and moan my arse off every now and then when I get caught. Such is life though, and I know full well that I most likely deserve what I get when on the odd occasion they do catch up with me. It doesn't leave me with warm fuzzies about the police, but hey, they are just doing their job.

In saying that though! Some cops are just plain ol' dickheads who have spent so much time dealing with shitheads that they think everyone is a bad guy as well. They do annoy me, but again, I believe it's just a symptom of doing a job not to many people would want to do.

Conclusion.......some cops are tossers, but then so are some postmen, some lawyers, and some waiters.................you get the point.

As for big brother, if you're worried about don't post. Simple as that I reckon.

Had a slow ride up the hill today. I have noticed the cops are paying alot more attention to the motorcyclists now.

Uncle B and I came down the hill on saturday and couldn't believe the whiplash one officer nearly gave himself as he spun around to view our oncoming bikes. The officer was buisy ticketing some old fulla on an old BMW.

Fatjim also noticed a Green ZXR which was being followed by a HP car for quite some distance before getting pulled over, even though the rider was riding two up and very cautiously.

The cops are obviously real keen on motorcyclists at the moment. I dare not push the speed limits because I have no interest in doing a runner and damned if I wanna pay a fine for peanuts either. Also I know the Hutt Valley cops are no longer giving the local motorcyclists any leeway at all now.

I guess it will be pretty lame riding for us all for quite a while.
In the past I always celebrate the end of a good takas run with a wee wheelie.

Didn't do so on Saturday, Sunday or today. Don't like my chances of getting away with biscuits at the moment! and dunno who's watching from where now either!

So all you Welly KB'ers, keep smart and be very road aware of HP and mufti's.
It's just not worth speeding over the limit at all in the hutt.
My only question is, how long will the cops be taunting us for now?

Also, Uncle B raised a goodpoint. We're gonna do TRTNR and we're gonna do it completely legally (as we always do!). Just to do our bit towards showing the cops that there are some good responsible motorcyclists out there. Sorry TCWNR, Can't make it once again. It would be great to see a good turnout of fellow riders!

That's all right.

While they are way up there, that keeps the heat off me going around the bays down in the city proper.

Yeah, that was kind of a painful ride. They were behind me for ages!
Btw - sorry I only realised it was you guys at the last minute (same with Sels1 too I think judging by his sudden wave!)
