Ever have one of those rides

when you're on your way to work and you pull off a fairly dodgey move and think, I hope there no cops saw that ... then you nearly fall off as another rider blasts past you?

If we're talking about the commute, I'm usually the other rider.

Sounds like a standard day.

I had an incident where when i was still studying and working heaps, I was coming home from work late one night and i was gonna open up the car a bit coming out a round about. I was so tired that i saw the cop coming through and i watched him hopeing he hadent seen me do anything bad. Mean while i ran into a garden and back out in front of him.

Man you do some dumb shit when your tired.

He pulled me over asked me a few questions, told him i had just finished work and i was a student. I dont think he could believe that i had just done that either. Didnt get a ticket but did however get shit from a mate who heard me get pulled over on a scanner. Was even funnier telling him what i got pulled over for. Hahahahaha

hehe. on the way to the ride on thursday night, along the north western i was lane splitting, following 2 other bikes, up ahead there was a cop so we all stopped lane splitting and slowly worked past him by chaning lanes legimately - till we were all far enough ahead to start splitting again.

then all of a sudden - his lights come on and he starts pushing through the traffic.

all three of us stop lane splitting and merge in with traffic again. i was thinking - oh bugger, he must not like bikes.

turns out he sped right past us to go to an accident.

but i was thinking. ooops - this could be "one of those rides"

I've had several of those pulling in quickly incidents when you spot a cop, all quite amusing. Especially when someone else on a bike splits it past you before realising what is going on.

Years ago I had an RD250LC.No mirrors on it so a quick look behind showed nothing behind me at a junction as I turned off the main road on the way to work.going down the road I was aware of a car behind me as the road lit up(this was at night),quick look behind and all I saw was a car with all it`s lights on main beam,guy must have been shifting I thought but I was confidant of up-holding the honour of bikers against some poxy boy-racer.Dropped down a couple of gears and gave it some stick.As I slowed down to go into the works car-park I heard the siren,"boy-racer" was a cop car,as I`d have seen if I`d had mirrors fitted.reason they were in such a hurry was that they were on the way to an accident,if they hadn`t been they`d have nicked me big-style.All this explained by some cop out of his window at the top of his voice in the factory car park as bemused/amused workmates walked by on their way to clock in.Cop pulled away in in a cloud of gravel........and I traded the bike in 2 days later,getting a new hjelmet while I was at it.
