Naughty Petone CBR250

This morning:

All black cbr250 on it's side on the Petone roundabout grass, 6 police cars, young fella head down in the back seat of one getting a talking to.

I missed the preceding entertainment but the bike looked undamaged and there were no ambo's around.

Apparently he tried to do a runner from them (Wellington - Petone)

If he was going Petone - Wellington he may have had more luck.

True dat...the breakdown lane get's ya places fast too.

When I was a lot younger and a lot dumber (and very very green to bikes) I went past a bike cop down the centre by Lower hutt in peak hour bumper to bumper stopped traffic. Decided (as I'd seen others doing it) that surely it was safer to go down the breakdown lane along the motorway...which I did. Didn't realise all the angst

I had created behind me and eventually was pulled up on the large interchange coming into town...the guy on the bike had just radioed ahead...I was none the wiser...seen others doing it didn't think it was that big a deal...saw the bike cop (admittedly last minute, he was riding just infront of a truck) but as he didn't seem to follow or gesticulate at me or anything I figured all was fine. When he finally caught up he commented that I was getting along 'quite well' on my wee bike RG150 and that I was a very naughty girl...my first (and only) ticket.

I was doing the Hutt - Wellington commute and sore him barrelling past with 3 cars chasing him. He didn't seem to be going overly fast and should have been arrested by the fashion police - doesn't he know that white helmets are sooo last year?

Heard it on the news this morning, apparently (from what i heard), a 19 year old male was tried to be pulled up in Porirua for not having a license plate and was chased all the way to Petone where he ditched the bike and tried to do a runner (on foot). As i say, just what i heard, so don't shoot me if it's wrong. Silly silly!!
