What speed do they let you go?

[mister.koz]

I feel bad now with all you guys talking about 110-120

First ticket I ever had, even the cop had the humor to tell me I did a good job on it. He also let me off $400 for exceeding 70kmph on a learner license and $400 for not having any L plates

Ouch.....

A few times i have had the "slow down" hand gesture from cops coming the other way but they haven't given chase... I wasn't seriously flying tho.

Even the ones that have given me tickets have been pretty fair about it never really had a cop that was a prick about it. They all seemed to be just doin their job.

Cop: "do you have any reason for doing 117km/h sir?"
Koz: "um, i just followed that truck at 30km/h for 20 mins and just finished passing him"
Cop: "so, no real reason to be speeding aye?"
Koz: "no, but i tried "
Cop: " well, tickets already written cant take this one back mate"
Koz: "fair enough, have a good day"

The way i figure it is i was screwed at "sir".

And you did bloody well to do 140+ on a 250 ninja!!

[motorbyclist]

isn't that an instant 28 day loss of licence?

[Winston001]

Well I guess that depends on the cop that stops or doesnt stop you.
It sure wasnt 114 kmh coming through the waipara valley according to the cop that had had obviously never ridden a bike in his life.

And it sure isn't 130k south of Timaru on a fine summers evening.....

Mufti cop and to give him credit, he was almost embarrased handing over the ticket. Said he'd ridden bikes and wasn't going to give a lecture. A decent bloke whom I treated politely but on this occasion it wasn't enough. C'est la vie.

I was doing 165 before I saw him. I'm 110kg too, god know what someone 70-80 could do on one.

Yup, 14 days and counting!

By those kinda ratios by the time i pass the cops I'll be doing about 1,200 kph so the next ticket should real interesting. Love too see one of those crappy old commodores with no mags haha or even wheel covers, rolling aroung corners like Drew Carey after a donut eating contest, trying to catch a 22 year old rocketship, some bolts could rattle loose and cause me dramas though, happens fairly often, or of course I might need the brakes, ......well then I 'd just be fucked hahah. Dont underestimate those holden tyres with the extra rigid sidewalls though, hear they are mean boys, Mean!!!!

No offence of course Blueys I love those pants, really.

[Southern Biker]

Very good idea, lucky for tank cos you have no idea. Hmmmm someone that isnt me really wants a round the world ticket! remarkable likeness though, uncanny really.

"And what kind of bike is this" "And where does it say suzuki"

What a cock! I mean surely any self respecting Policeman that knew anything about bikes would probably, see the GSXR 1100 and think , well I guess It's lucky it wasn't 214 kmh. Right? or maybe not?

Ok, how's this for inconsistent?

My missus is driving around the waterfront, gets stopped for doing 70kph in a 50. "I will let it go this time, but slow down" says the pig. There were two adults and two kids in the car, Friday night, busy road.

Muggins here is riding HER bike round the SAME ROAD at 7.15am, no traffic, 71kph in a 50. "I'm gonna scratch you up" he says. I was polite-as, no b/s involved, we parted on good terms. BUT! How come I get a ticket in the early morning, no traffic, no passengers, my missus gets off with nowt and get this; same pig!!!!!

Fuckers.

Get a gun, I say.

[motorbyclist]

Get a gun, I say.

they don't have very good aim, either

[elevenhundred]

As a young fella I got pulled for everything, never got away with anything. I never gave them attitude and was honest.
Now I am older when I get pulled over I usually end up having a 15 minute yarn with the cop then at the end he lets me off, I guess if they can relate to you you might have more luck.

[quack]

Geez man its a cop, they'r all cocks. If ur on a learners im surprised they didn take ur licence too, the bastards. Iv just been lucky enough not to get caught yet eh
