25km out of Kihikihi towards Mangakino - stationary radar.
Middle of nowhere and I opened it up a bit and the blue and reds went off.
Not bitchin' - just warning - not many safe places left any more.
One hell of a ride.

I'm sure you would have been alerted by a near forest of white crosses on the side of the road, I'm "sure" that busy, busy road must be a real black spot eh.
I would of felt like telling him that it would be less wear and tear on his patrol car and the tax payers wallets if he just used the toilets at HQ if he just wanted a quiet little spot for a tug.

Hooboy! You the MAN! That's telling them, shee-it you go HARD man, hell I'd be quaking in my boots if you said that to me.I would of felt like telling him that it would be less wear and tear on his patrol car and the tax payers wallets if he just used the toilets at HQ if he just wanted a quiet little spot for a tug.

But bad luck Dave - and a more mature attitude than some.

Unlike the guy today - started at 116 as he came towards me, lost NO speed at all and ended up being clocked at 122 - and I was in plain view driving towards him on a bright sunny day.

Oh now that's not on. Really will have to look at getting a Valentine soon.

How did the ticket end up at $235 Dave?
Speed penalty steps up $80-$120-$170-$230.....where did the extra $5 come from?
Not producing licence is $55 so it too does not add up.

Probably naive enough to think he wasn't at risk of an accident.Unlike the guy today - started at 116 as he came towards me, lost NO speed at all and ended up being clocked at 122 - and I was in plain view driving towards him on a bright sunny day.
Little did He know. The faster you go the bigger the fine.

Feeling like saying somthing, and actually saying somthing are two different things sport.Hooboy! You the MAN! That's telling them, shee-it you go HARD man, hell I'd be quaking in my boots if you said that to me.

The last thing I would expect a cop to feel with me saying that would be intimidation. The 1st thing I'd expect would be the old "routine vehicle inspection" and a considerbly lighter wallet as a result of my big mouth.
The last time I got pulled over in the middle of no where, I was polite, courtious and honest, the result was no ticket.
I'm saving all my furture speeding for the South Island where all the cops are at home drinking beer and cruising KB

More a "duh, never realised" situation.
Most people drop to BELOW the speed limit on seeing a cop-car, I have a theory this is caused by the radar extracting horsepower from the approaching vehicles engine.

Actually - It was a reasonably attractive young lady. (those pants don't do them any favours)I'm sure you would have been alerted by a near forest of white crosses on the side of the road, I'm "sure" that busy, busy road must be a real black spot eh.

Ahhhh - I got no real complaints, understood the risk - like I said - could have been a lot worse.
I think we just have to face it that if we want to keep riding then we have to slow down a bit. I'm half way through writing a new feature on the merits of naked bikes.
Immature and proud of it.
Yeah? Mine does that too, but only when I'm being naughty. Does the radar know that as well?More a "duh, never realised" situation.
