Police bikers!

[kunoichi]

Here's a funny one for you guys.

I was stopped at some red lights and a police officer on a bike rode up and stopped next to me. In a situation where a biker pulls up next to me, i would say hello and might pull up my visor and have a bit of a chat. However, because he was a police officer, i didn't really know how to react. I just ended up acknowledging him and furiously trying to find a place to put my eyes.

What do you guys do around police bikers?

Just act normal as you would with anyone else

[Tank]

Having a warrented and rego'ed bike, knowing I have a full licence in my pocket, and not speeding.

I normally just say hello officer.




and have another sip of the whisky stored in my camelback.

Give them a nod, say hi and hand signal they can go first when the light changes... just as I would any other bike.

[BOGAR]

You almost make it sound like they are superhuman or something. Just wave and say hi like you usually do.

I've had only a couple of experiences with Police Bikers while on my own bike. The first one was back in 1977, and I argued with him over whether my bike needed a mirror. Apparently they'd just changed the law, so he gave up arguing after a while, handed me a ticket and a free copy of the Road Code!

Second one was in 2000, and involved him yelling at me, frothing at the mouth, and otherwise getting rather excited (I thought his head was going to explode - pity it didn't). I have no fookin' idea what he was raving about, but it involved "ride like a proper biker instead of a bloody idiot", and had something to do with carefully filtering past stopped cars to the front at the traffic lights.

The last occasion was riding around Coromandel with a Police Biker on his Balckbird. We had a jolly old time, and he didn't give us (or himself) a ticket for any rules that might've accidentally got bruised.

'S obvious , you challenge him to a wheelie competition away from the lights.

[Starky307]

Have yet to be in that position but I wouldn't do anything different than if it was you I was next to at the lights.

I'd say hi and probably talk about the bike in some way.

A dragrace to the speedlimit + 9 km/h.

I had this happen just this morning. Police officer moved over to let me sneak in beside him. I said "good morning" and he said gidday back and we rode together for a km in peak traffic. These guys are just normal human beings, and I have always found if you say gidday that they will respond in kind...

i had a similar thing many years ago, there was a parking nazi at the lights on a honda stepthrough thing and i pulled up next to him on my Z1R kawasaki i saw the lights were about to ghange so i grabbed the front brake and a big handfull of throttle and let the clutch go and did a massive burnout , when the light changed i let go of the brake and left him in a cloud of smoke
