Damn cops. I got busted!

**Defiant** · 7th November 2007, 16:06

Got up this morning left home and less than 100mtrs from my street i looked down and thought geeze better hold it back a bit.....no sooner had the thought entered my mind i viewed my rear mirror and saw the dreaed red and blues.....

........cop asks the usually any reason for speeding? late for work are we? I looked at my watch and replied nope

why the need to speed then? no reason at all cause i wasnt speeding......long story short and $230 dollars out of pocket and off to work....This happened on clevedon rd papakura this morning bout 7am and there must have been bout 4 cop cars and the Red holden muffty that pulled me over. (although i have to say it was a cool looking car).driving thru the area this morning....so be careful guys round that area they seem to be blitzing it

, this includes redoubt road and porchester rd.

what do you expect

No sympathy here

**TLMAN** · 7th November 2007, 16:14

Sounds like they were waiting for you!!

Are you sure your

neighbours didnt complain about your noisy vtwin pipes waking them up in the mornings.

**Matt_TG** · 7th November 2007, 16:17

What speed were you doing? $230... wow. Must be the cops' fault people speed

**Mikkel** · 7th November 2007, 16:19

Sucks eh! With $230 you must have gone at a fair clip too... Hope you afford the demerits as well!

**Defiant** · 7th November 2007, 20:42

yep.....wasn't looking for sympathy....

I know i deserved it, was my fault for not watching what i was doing

The ticket reads 80kms in a 50km signed area.....

normally i am more cautious of my speed, yeah TLMAN, wouldnt be the first time that they have waited for me one day i had them waiting 2 driveways down from my house they said they'd had a complaint that morning bout riding on the centre line.....I did defended that and said although the traffic i passed my have been excessive, they were all stationary and i had plenty of room and time to do so....he gave me a warning and asked me not to over take too many at a time...??????? oh well.....funny thing is i usually fill the tank up at night and turn the other way but this morning i turned the opposite cause i forgot to fill up, otherwise i would have seen them sitting there.....just wanted to warn you all bout the amount of cops i been seeing in the area lately....alot more the usual...

Well said, you have no-one to blame but yourself. They are the very people you call when the shit hits the fan. pays to give them a break - they have a really shitty job to do.

More cops huh? You must be either very naughty or very lucky. Wouldn't be much reason for crims to hang about with the patrols around. Think about that some time when you feel the "damn" cops are spoiling your fun when you speed. They are the people we all turn to when we need help.

He wasn't putting cops down, he was just

A) having a cry about getting a ticket.........no drama there.

And B) warning for those that live in the area to be more cautious.............again, no drama there. No need to give the guy a lecture like he is Skid Mark, geezzz

"He who is without breaking the speed limit may cast the first stone"

Yep, plenty fun alright......I seen 280 kph heaps but thats where my speedo stops(on the track too...for you guys about to take my head off....

)...

had abit done to it though, trick is cams, valves, carbs, jetting, gearing, and big arse over size pistons(should admit most work was done in Oz)....was pulling easy 11's and 10's on friday but still never had a good run without the wheel up....a couple friends have had ER6's nice bikes

but i havent had the opportunity to take them for a spin..

the six will feel alot more naked than your vtr, with less power, but more chuckable and forgiving.
on the VTR i rode i hit a false neutral at 200kph! fortunately it was going up gears.
i like the firestorm's, but not enough to own one
i do love the v twin punch..
the ER6ns standard bars are rubbish- renthal KLX110 / KX 60's are the ticket
