Ah, the $600 fine.

That would be what you get when you walk back to the cop car and run a key down the side, moon the cop, turn around and wave your buttocks at the traffic, pull a .357 Magnum from your riding jacket and shoot out his tyres, insult his mother, steal the doughnuts off his passenger seat and lanesplit away from the scene with your trousers still down, making sure to exceed the posted speed limit by more than 50kph.

Did I miss anything?

i think that's a free trip back to the station and a free beating with a phone book kind of thing

In olden Iraq you'd probably dissapear

Excuse my thoughts, but (as far as I can remember 3 years ago) there IS a $40 fine and 5 demerit points for not KEEPING TO THE LEFT OF YOUR LANE in normal circumstances, right?

I'm sure that will give more money to the plod than any Rates Increase in the world possible

On the bright side, if you have to pull in behind one to avoid detection, it beats being stuck behind a four-wheeled plodmobile. I lane-splitted (lane-splat?) behind a bike cop all the way through spaghetti junction the other morning (he didn't have his flashies on). Gave me a nice warm fuzzy secure feeling (although I doubt whether "but the copper in fronna me was doing it too, m'lud" is an acceptable defense if nicked)

Anyone here ever actually been pulled and/or ticketed for filtering? What did they 'officially' book you on?

overtaking on the left

Why do they have to pick on minority groups????ie us bikers

Are they jealous or just hate bikers coz they think we r rebels:P?????

They should have a crack down with cages about basic road rules, such as keeping to the left proper merging etc. If they had a crack dwn on keeping left, we could pass easily and quickly with no fuss and be perfectly legal. Therefore we woodnt be tlking bout this B.S.

I agree there needs to be alot more educating of the general public and the police.

So whos goin to start the re-educating????????? Ne takers???????

All I got was a warning.
Got pulled over by an unmarked car - I head the sieren so I looked back and saw him flashing his lights also, but I really didnt think he was after me so I pulled over to the median strip thinking he was off to an emergancy

If he was going to fine me it would have been for passing on the left. Utter BS really fricken cagers.
Since then I have been more careful choosing where I split and using the right side if I can, BUT THEY ARE TOO FAR TO THE RIGHT!!!! ARRGG
And its these fricken housewife commandos in the 30 meter wide Landrovers who enrage me the most!

Went down the right hand side of the Ellerslie/Panmure on ramp, didn't see the HP at the bottom till to late, but he let me off with a warning.

Not me, i'm just keeping a low profile. Too many sharp tongues for my feeble riding abilities to compete with. Glad you kept the bike, it's hard giving up something you love.
