I think it was the lane split - He said he'd been trying to catch me for some time and questioned whether I was "doing a runner". I told him I hadn't seen him and that I didn't even know "they" drove mazda's.

The cop was alright but he kept on the side of the motorway for about 15 minutes while he wrote out the ticket.

I think I saw that car sitting at the top of the bombays with lights flashing (pointing south) on saturday.
Gave me a bit of a fright (had just driven from wellington to auckland).
Ill have to keep my eye open :/

Hah! What, exactly, was he expecting in reply to that?

"Yes, officer, I noticed you ages ago, and was doing my best to escape your clutches in the most illegal manner possible, but gee whiz whillikey, you just handled that Mazda like an absolute pro. I decided that I could not sustain the frightening pace of the chase, since I am not only a criminal fugitive, but a nancy-boy into the bargain."

He said 'driven'. His a$$ is probably well-relaxed from the upholstered cage-ridden comfort.

F#$*ing lightweight!

Oh I missed that - Well spotted that man.

hah, spotting jrandom. Yes, was driving the gf's '85 accord hatch :/...well...i guess it's more comfortable than the bike heh (the ZR250 is quite a comfy bike for a 250! nice squishy seat, fairly upright position). Not like my big squishy VR4 though

I thought you had only had the TLR a short time so did its rego expire or was there some hassle with the guys you bought it from?

Interesting that comment - in the countless times I have done the Wellington AUckland run in both cars and bikes (I can't even count how many times) - the trip is infinitely less tiring on a bike than in a car?

I find the trip seems quicker on a bike (yes accounting for relative speeds) and less taxing? metephorically and literally (ie petrol)

Merv - You win "most observant user" prize of the day.
When I bought the bike (Haldanes), They put on a WOF for six months and I thought they were going to do the REG as well as it only had about 2 weeks left. Well I was wrong and I neglected to check. So I'm hoping that if I get it done and write a nice letter explaining my lack of intelligence the powers that be will let me off.

That sucks…I think the number of HP has increased by 3x within 6 months…..and they seem to drive almost everything and anything…. specially u simply can’t speed if you want a nice ride without worrying, even in 100km zone. Did u have any radar detector??......they almost seem mandatory now…a fine like that and im finished…as I probably have $50 bucks in my back account!!..
