ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

**Qkchk:Me** · 20th November 2007, 20:00

Just a couple of things:

We will be having dinner up at the Bridgehouse Lodge in Walkworth, not at Bar Africa (this week only)
Could be a presence of Roadworks. Parts of the usual ATNR are in gravel/limestone however we should miss the majority of it this week. (With all this good weather they should be sealing the roads sometime this week)
Second mention about Tinted Visors. Feel free to use but take into consideration that we will be having dinner at approx 8.30pm so IT WILL BE dark when we leave the premises. Probably wearing sunglasses and a clear visor wouldn't be a bad idea.

Rant Over.

Was at the pub tonight, and saw a cop car drive up. Parked on the other side of the road in a driveway, and waited.

Some poor newbie was followed by cop car...not sure what happend weather he was pulled over or not...but he wasnt doing anything wrong when he left.

Then saw cop car patrol the area hardcore!! as well as what looked like an under cover car..

Seems like there's a whole new batch of assorted unmarked cars in the Albany area now.

Let's start a new consiparacy theory and say that every Cop now has the salary sacrific option to get a "Company Vehicle" and as long as they write $1000 worth of tickets a month they get free fuel too.

Complete bullshit of course but I'm sure it wouldn't take long for this to become part of KB Folk Lore - "Yeah everyone knows that; they've been doin' it for years"

Anyway on the serious side it's now at a point where I have to think that every car is an unmarked cop car because there seems to be so many on the roads now. And the real scary part is you don't even know they're there until you see them pull someone over - but that's the whole point I guess - Score 1-0 to the cops

I take it you got home then eh.

Me and Timaa took the right turn from the bar, and the copper (who was leaving the roundabout) pulled a Uey straight away.

He didnt come after us though.

Hey guys!
Might come from the far and dark Leigh to meet you at Warkworth...will be pretty short ride but never did at night yet!
Roadwork is mostly between Warkworth and Matakana, but as they decided to rebuild every f...g single road in New Zealand these days

, better being prudent

See you all tonight!

Yeah they did mention it in the AWNMR thread. Someone got busted leaving BAR AFRICA (in a car and not one of our guys) last Thurs night just before we all got there. I think he may have been given a free ride to the clink for DD. So they are in the area but if you behave there's nothing to worry about.
