Was riding through the main street of Hamilton city, not speeding but was giving it a squirt in 1st gear up to about 8-9000rpm.

The aftermarket pipe makes a bit of a racket tho so I suppose it was only a matter of time.
The

was friendly and polite but I was a little disturbed by what he had to say.
Apparrently there is a fairly new offence called "sustained exhibition of acceleration". It was introduced to ping boy-racers and get this . . . They can confiscate a vehicle for said acceleration! Was riding without my L plate but he wasn't concerned about that, just told me to try and keep the noise down especially in built up areas as some traffic cop having a bad day may decide I am "showing off and attention seeking by revving loudly and accelerating"

FFS! Wots next?
Has anyone had a similar experience?
