Out run the cops on a bucket?

[SHELRACING]

Got snapped by the cops road testing Grandma wobblers bucket down the road yesterday.

I've been working on the jetting, gave it a warm up in the garage, did a first run down our street. About .5km turned around came back, and went for the second run. Gunned it down the straight to the first intersection. Just pulling up at the intersection to turn around, and a cop arrives at the intersection at the same time.

As out running him on the Loncin wasn't an option. The following mexican stand off felt like a life time (or at least a couple of laps round Taupo on an RG50 ). I figured I was totally screwed, I sat there thinking of all the offences I'd commited, How was I to explain this to Mrs Wobbler, not to mention getting her bucket impounded (that would have to be a first). The cop just sat there dumbstruck, probably couldn't believe his luck. Then he pulls over to the middle of the road, sticks his head out the window. " Going far " he says. " Nah mate, I live at the end of the road just turning round " I said.

With that he drove off. Well bugger me I'd better go and buy a lotto ticket.

Saw the cop again later, sitting on the main road. Apparently he was there all day.

Tuamarunui cops have rep for being tough, especially on speeders. Refreshing to find they are not all the aholes we beleive them to be, and that they can be fair, reasonable and somewhat blind at a time when no real harm was done.

Cheers to the cop anyway

Just what are you trying to say about the high-quality Chinese engineering, ay ?
Yeah, I wouldn't have bothered on Lady P either...

Good on you for getting away with it.
The cul-de-sac I live in is well known as a bucket-testing ground once a tune is done

[R6_kid:Me]

You should have told him that you needed more beer!

Naw I would have though it pretty low of him to process you for testing your bucket racer. If you didn't have a helmet on, well that would have been different - I think he'd have no choice then.

LOL no it isn't dad
remeber that honda bike I had as a kid
got chased by the cops for riding it on the road
pitty they cant drive down walkways
and even a 10 year old on a honda 50 can ride faster than they can run


you wern't lucky at all there Steve
the paper work would have been a nightmare
and he had already filled his quota
and he new the ribbing you would have got from us

Hi Carl, I remember the little bike and the Cop's. Didn't they also chase Alex? and they came around later looking for the bike.

[Buckets4Me]

NO that was a different story
this was a few years earlier say 12 or 13 years
it was back in Manurewa

I forgot about Alex

no helmit and he ran from the cops on a ys80
then gave a false name

the cop ID him as a lippy chap then tryed to say he was riding
a tzr250
pitty the TZR didn't go

[TZ350]

You were riding the Honda QA50, I remember. Boys, Motorcycles, Cops, thats life..

That's 'cos people prefer to whimper about 'injustices' than sing about the reverse, simple human nature.

Bollocks.

OK, I'll bite - there's an easy $800+ worth of tickets there - five minutes at the side of the road, two bits of paper handed over and Robert your mothers brother.

[Buckets4Me]

NA he had filled his quato
