Cops

[Karma]

They don't have to show you as far as I am aware. Most will out of courtesy, times I have been pulled the cop has sat me in the passenger seat and showed the reading then run the self diagnostic thingo on the thing

yeh I know, point being is that the copper could just be bullshitting and pulling figures outta his ass.

[RC1]

yes i did see his radar reading fyi

HI all, how is this then, today i went for a ride,left home went through Tahuna to Paeroa,cranked the TL up to 220kph no hassles, got stopped at check point at Paeroa, they wanted to look at bike sweet,left paeroa raced to Ngatea, cranked it up through Patetonga on way home, cop going other way in a line of cars flashed me then turned so i pulled over and he pulled up behind me (older cop) said he clocked me at 183kph asked me the usual (any reason blah blah) not really officer straight road,said i should be walking home,but then said he had a soft spot for bike riders and told me to slow down,no ticket received,warned me there were others close ,he then did u turn and left me to continue, go the waikato cops,

Same thing has happened to me twice in my cage!

Don't waste money on Lotto anymore. You've just had a lifetime's worth of luck.
The IRD were crawling around Wellsford yesterday, including a dark blue Mazda 6 parked in a VERY sneaky spot near the Tomarata Valley Rd intersection.
I saw it at Waitoki again today, with a blonde hottie at the wheel. I felt like telling her that there's no point checking me all the way down the straight, when I'd picked the Stalker up way before the corner. Heh Heh.

The useless bastard shoulda been sacked for dereliction of duty, us tax-payers want value for our money.

Jealous of the competition then????

[davereid]

Yeah, thats too fast on a public road, any half wit can go 220, its just a case of twisting the wrist. If you are really such a good rider show us on the track. Or maybe grow up and discover you can enjoy two wheels at low speed too.

nice story....lucky it was that cop or youd be walkin eh.....was in a car once with a mate driving and a coppa had him dead to rights going way to fast in a 50 km zone but let him off with a warning.......

True that I drove the tintop Auck - rotovegas a couple of w/e's ago and not one blip on the radar detector! Where were all our cops saving the public from this loon doing 119kph???

Strong words there dave....was going to take the piss outta your harley but then remembered i have grown up and dont have to resort to that shit to make a point....theres plenty of places..down here anyway where 180-220 kms can be done in relative safty and with no risk to anyone but the rider..if you like/enjoy your motorcycling at a more sedate pace then good for you but no reason to get into the guy for going a bit quick...one of the great things about motorcycling for me is the diversity of people that participate.

Lucky bugger is all I can say,nice one copper

I totally agree - it sucks arse that RCTL got away with doing this ludacris speed when more conservative riders get nailed for being just over the limit. We should all get let off, or we should all get fined and lose our bike - some consistency would be nice...

[davereid]

Yeah I agree that there are places you can go fast and be safe, and not endanger anyone else. But maybe not when there is a line of traffic coming towards you. But.. perhaps I was a little blunt ! Must say I was pissed off to see a cop sitting at the end of the Te horo passing lane using laser to pick out those who had crept up to 120 passing the caravans and boats in the slow lane.
