Strange Behaviour

[Sniper]

I had that once. I just said to the police man. You might be mistaken when he told me I was doing 123kph and a car overtook me. He said sorry it must have been the car and took off again

Sounds like a blatant attempt at a fit-up to me and I'd be writing a letter to the Police Complaints Authority. Jerk-off cops like that will think nothing of pinging even the innocent just to get their quota up, anybody less assertive than you Lou would now be a "speeding driver" statistic and a source of revenue. Hopefully you got his police number and you can bust the basstid. Just cut and paste your post Lou, should do the job.

No, the new placid me believes that his karma will get him.

1. maybe he was bored

2. maybe he knew who you were

3. maybe he didn't like harleys

4. maybe he was testing out his new lights

5. maybe he knew who you were

Knew me? Riding a new, yellow Harley?
Right that's it. The Pleece have a mole at AMPS, I'll hunt him down like the cur he is

And, maybe they'll pull my bike over and ask "is this your bike" to the rider, and it won't be, and they'll save my bike being stolen

Ya think the thief would stop?????? you think he'd say "No sir, I just stole this bike from down the road, nice innit?"

Yeah, I was thinking just the same thing. It's just like airport security when they ask you if you have any dangerous items in your luggage. What a way to detect possible terrorists. "Yes, actually I have explosives in my bag, do those count?" I'm sure the terrorist would be stupid enough to answer truthfully.

So, if he knew that, why the f#*k did he stop me.
My bind is moggled.

Maybe he's read this forum and was just fuckin with ya!

Them Be eM UU's sure have funny switch gear so perhaps he was reaching for the indicator and suddenly all the pretty lights and shit came on so he had to pull you over to cover up his little blunder....

You know, like when you go to turn a corner in a Ford and the wipers come on so you squirt a bit of washer fluid to make it look like you are cleaning the windscreen.

Its funny how instantly everybody is so fast to take the opportunity to bad mouth a cop/put a PCA in.

Maybe he thought you looked like a mug.
I hear it works quite often.
I had an MOT cop wave me down one day an try to tell me I was speeding.
It went like,You were speeding back there,Back where?Back there coming into town,How do you know?,I saw you,No ya' didn't an prove it if ya' reckon ya' can,Piss off.
So I pulled into the gas station an while I fueled up he pulled another bike an wrote the guy a ticket.So maybe this cop thought you were a mug like that guy.

Then he says that he'd only picked up his Beemer 24 hours before and it did not have a certificate of accuracy for the speedo and he wasn't sure that it was accurate and would not issue a notice for speeding.
.

So lets recap shall we.

A bike cop pulls you over
You argue (sp) with said bike cop
You ride away minus ticket

I'd consider yourself f*kn lucky myself, they have always got the power to make life very difficult for you (read expensive).
And as for the rest of you band-wagon-jumpers-on get a life FFS.

And BTW If i was reading from this forum for the first time I'd think what a whinging pack of jumped up pricks these bikers are, with all these "rants" read (whinging and moaning).
Don't get me wrong some are justified.

But this one isn't

Luigi mate...as a few others have suggested the Plod knew you...cant comment on the mole at AMPS...but be careful Mr Truman everybody has a part to pay in this show...

I spy Mr Motorbike Plod, flouro vest and white helmet gleaming, gaining on me about 500-600 metres behind. So, being the law-abiding citizen that I am, I check the speedo, 80 k's on the dot, as it has been for ages. Mr Plod tucks in behind and I'm thinking that he's going to nail the Maserati beside me.

The Plod thinks your estimation of distance is very inaccurate and how would he be stopping the Maserati which was on a separate road/bridge alongside yourself even after its alledged exhibition back at fanshawe Street on ramp?

Being a little perplexed, I hop off, open my helmet, and he says he's checked me at 95km/h on the bridge. Now I've heard about fit-ups, but this is the first time I've had it happen to me.

Plod disputes any fit up and rightly or wrongly used discretion when he was offered a plausible explanation and Plod not having the certification document available at that time...recent information confirms that the digial readout was in fact accurate

So I say that I was doing 80 k's, he says that I should get my speedo checked. I say that we don't do that with new bikes, we rely on the factory to make sure the speedos don't read slow.

The advice offered by Plod was in fact based on experience of the inaccuracy of a number of NEW non jap motorcycles.

He then asks why I hit the horn back at the Khyber Pass off-ramp. ( I blasted an old woman who thought she should stop in the middle lane because there was a Pleece car stopped on the shoulder).

Plods question regarding the use of your emergency warning device was in fact to determine whether the matter was so serious that you may wish to complain about the old womans driving...but no complaint was forthcoming.

I said (very politely) that I disputed in the strongest terms that I was speeding. Then he says that he'd only picked up his Beemer 24 hours before and it did not have a certificate of accuracy for the speedo and he wasn't sure that it was accurate and would not issue a notice for speeding.

Plod states that the beemer was actually one of several loaners he has had recently and, as well as the radio being jammed on 1ZB, it had suffered an electrical fault earlier in the day and until Plod saw a Certificate of Accuracy he was willing to offer a warning on this occassion.

So, if he knew that, why the f#*k did he stop me.
My bind is moggled.

Luigi mate Plod thinks that you never know when Big Brother is watching you.

Ride safe mate.
