Hey, is "Northcote" an 80k area of the motorway?

I think the answer is "yes".

I saw a man in black on what looked like a blue R1 pulling a wheelie up the harbour bridge last night.



I think it's time for a crackdown on these irresponsible motorcyclists and their two-wheeled death machines of doom.

i agree..!

[Swoop]

Bike cop or cage?

Was this on the "onramp" bit or while going up the bridge itself?
There has been a bit of a presence on the southern side recently.

Temporary.

[Grahameeboy]

God told me to do it.

Sorry Finn but he is not " "

I wasn't doing anything dangerous at all. Dangerous is a kiwi driving a car.

I was on the MV. Certainly wish I was on the Harley though.

Yeah - just like bruce takes it so easy on the Vrod huh?
Why I was prepared to let him gap us the other day.

Sometimes there are 7 patrol cars between Greenlane and Albany.

Yer Vrod isn't going to go any slower unless you say so you know?

Yes, the answer IS "yes", while they're doing the new on/off ramps for Onewa Road.
And the bridge has been 80km/h for... like... forever.
I can't recall it ever being 100. The 80 starts north of the bridge, and continues south till well past Spaghetti Junction.

But apart from all that - bad luck Finn (or was it 'bad planning'? :spudwhat

[ManDownUnder]

oh man - this is meant to be a bitch poo hate cops thread. You're not allowed to just take your medicine, admit you were at fault and ride away.

That's an infarction right there... mods - get 'im!

[Finn]

Hey, I didn't once mention the guy was a prick. Nice fella actually.

[Harry33]

What are you complaining about? It's not like your SHORT of money.

[Finn]

But I prefer it in my pocket... along with the demerit points.

[jrandom]

Sorry Finn but he is not " "

Some of the apparent evidence would argue to the contrary.

[Finn]

This ain't a police bashing thread however, I am well within my rights to challenge the alleged offense and I plan to do so. The cop was just doing his job with the tools he had available. I think he may have got it wrong as the traffic was very heavy and I doubt that while I was splitting he could have pinged me with a laser. Don't quite know how I will raise this in my defense. I may just request all the information I am entitled to and make a decision to pay up / shut up or challenge it.

I'm not worried about the fine or the demerit points as I am / was on "0" but it's certainly worth a crack.

You were passing within a lane on the right, weren't you, and indicating correctly for all lane changes and passing maneuvers.



If everyone involved was under the speed limit, you're free and clear so long as the cop doesn't see fit to charge you with careless or dangerous.

Question is whether you can claim with a straight face that riding in traffic makes his radar reading suspect. Worth a try, I suppose.
