You miss my point sir. If you ride like an ass then act like one when pulled over you can expect to get it all thrown at you.
Grow up, suck it in and accept the original incident with visible and audible remorse and that is most likely the only thing you'll be charged for. If you disagree with that one then write your letters to the appropriate organization.

As far as the earlier comment that they are targeting bikes - why not face it - the majority of us ride well beyond the law - lane splitting, speeding, loud pipes etc. If it was a bunch of kids in RX's behaving the same you'd all be bitching about them.........

I'm not in to name and shame, he's doing his job.

My main gripe about all this is now I don't know whether I can or can't split as what I was doing is no different to any other day of the week for the last 2.5 yrs. I've had cops wave me past, they never turn a head and yet that day I was doing everything wrong and here's a ticket for your troubles.

Anyone that knows me or has ridden with me will know the one thing I am not is a hoon on a bike.

And thanks to the bikes that went past whilst I was getting my ticket (doing exactly what I had been doing) for the nobs and revving of engines for support

TUI Moment!!!

Chickenlegs - on this forum there are more IT nerds than you can shake a stick at.

Rebellious to some folk on here is typing in all caps.

Of the 4zillion users - I doubt that there are any "Biker 1%'ers".

1%'ers dont log on to the Internet to moan about cops. 1%'ers go to their house, shag the cops daughter and burn the house down as he's leaving.

Officer number was AK87. not sure he was a biker, but kept mentioning his two biker police colleagues.

As I understand, so long as you're passing vehicles on their right while remaining wholely within the same lane, you should have your right indicator going. I don't know how you're supposed to actually do that though, since NZ drivers hug the right side of their lanes.

As I pointed out to him was isn't it better I concentrate on the dorks in cars than pissing around with my indicators. The indicator is on to add to my visibility. And those that run with hazard lights going is apparently an even bigger no-no

Whenever ive been ticked off for lane splitting (wrong side of the line) ive thought:

Why arent all the cars ticketing with failing to stay left.
and my favourite - to all cars in the morning - impeding the flow of traffic.

All I cop has to do is ticket 5 random cars per day for failing to stay left, and eventually, theyll all be staying left

Riding a 400 on a restricted - I sit my full next wednesday, so hopefully be able to get that revoked.

So did you pass your test yesterday - or did you manage to run up enough demerits sitting your test that they took the one you had already off you?

**Morcs** · 19th June 2008, 13:51

test is next wednesday.

They don't have to stay left - just remain wholely within their lane. Besides, it would upset the sensibilities of the majority.
