    Mom one would assume that The Stranger being the upstanding sittersen that we thunk he is wouldn't start a hypothetical thread without good cause.
    I would hazard a guess as mentioned before that either
    A) he himself is working through something he's done wrong perhaps not even associated with bikes.
    or
    B) He believes if the Hypothetical culprit is indeed a living breathing KB'er that said KBer would grow some balls and contact the wrongly accused to see what could be sorted out.
    Just a guess mind you
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Hypothetically you are correct

    Could I ask the general KB population.If hypothetical ever turned out to be real. Would you want to be riding anywhere or anytime with the person who hasn't stepped forward?
    I for one certainly wouldn't for fear of the self same thing happening to me.

    Assuming the situation's as simple as it was presented... Nope...

    It'd be like standing at the bottom of a rarely used long drop. No idea when you're going to get shat on from a great height...

    Perhaps i'm a little old fashioned, but I was raised with a strong moral foundation of accountability, loyalty, honesty, integrity and a few other such like big words. In my opinion one should take full responsibility for one's actions at all times, regardless of the severity of the action or the consequences. There is no moral or ethical dilemma when everyone takes responsibility for themselves and their actions. Too simplistic or idealistic you ask? Maybe, but I sleep well at night when I live by this mantra, I never have to watch over my shoulder.

    Put in simple terms this little prick needs to man up, fess up, and take responsibility for his actions!
    Everything in moderation, including moderation itself

    Draco but that would suggest that the Hypothetical" is indeed real.
    Blow me down with a feather duster.
    Dare I suggest though good lady that if the gutless wonder hasn't stepped up now he likely doesn't intend to.
    But Me being an old guy I've seen Karma in action way too many times. It has a definite tendancy to bite and bite hard.

    You mean a cop got it wrong and pinged the wrong person?

    OMFG! My entire belief system has just come crashing down around my ears! Not...
    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

    NO max on that front shit as they say sometimes happens.
    But tell me would you want to ride with a person who chooses to ride like an idiot? Logic says its only a matter of time before someone else ends up in the same situation riding with them.

    Hypothetically speaking, I am picking the riders concerned would be surprised to find out how far their um, reputation is travelling.

    My point is that the cop is convinced it's the guy he got, when it actually isn't.

    I'm not so sure cops do things because they're convinced they have the facts right any more. Maybe the cop is just happy that he got a charge, got the days quota.

    Do the general circumstances fit?, if so charge 'em!.

    Anyway, this thread isn't about the cops being arseholes (as I understand it) it's about a biker letting a fellow biker go down for something he knows damn well he did himself.

    Hey the KB court is in session, he's welcome to put his hypothetical defence, or he will be hung, found guilty and then tried (in that order) - in absentia.

    O.K but it's when what happens (hypothetically, if you prefer) on the ride ends up in court that matters, when the chips are down that counts, innit?

    This should be good......
