Got the learn from a cop

[Hans]

I suspect some bike cops can realy ride. Use to ride with a guy years back and he became a MOT traffic cop. In those days we sometime use to ride the tussocks on the Port Hills. No off road bikes in those days.

Personaly I think 'all' HP cops should have their bike licence. At least they would have some or perhaps a better understanding of what it's like out there on a bike.

I suspect all of them can ride. Certainly better then most of us... No offence.
We probably would ride like that too, if we spent as much time on a bike as them lucky sods do.
What I miss here in NZ is the attitude of the bikie cops in most of Europe. They're usually more interested in racing you on the twisties or waving at you to give you any grief. And feck, can some of them ride.

What a legend. One finger over the brake, not hanging off at all, panniers dragging.

Cool.

How long did the cop follow before deciding to pull them over ?

Dilemma.

I reckon they should make it available to the public. I know that I could do with more training, and i can't necessarily afford to gain experience by risking and possibly crashing my bike every couple of months...tho it's seeming like that's how it's happening lately.

EH , your not crashing your bike every two months are you? If so chill out and take it easy, binning as you know is no fun. Have you been able to identify whats going wrong?

Who the fxxx is this "Chuck Morris", anyway????

[fredie]

bike cops learn too lay the bike down when riding

I think it's probably all of them. After all, how many of us actually have any training other than a BHS course?

Dave

Ha Ha you think NZ Police get training

Guns,Car driving,Bike riding it's fuck all

That's like the basic handling skills test.... except instead of a GN125 you're on a bloody great touring bike....

RESPECT!!!

I dont think their training would be worth a knob of goat shit compared to the experience of a lot of people on here.

The Ministry of Transport officers, prior to being merged with the Police Force, did considerable training on motorcycles. And, had to do a considerable amount of time on the road ... on a bike. Before the were allowed to progress on to a car for patrol duties.
Most (ok some) of the older HP members may have done this training. To assume they have little or no training, or they lack ability to do their job, would be silly.

[The Stranger:Me]

to the point where I was questioning WTF I was doing - there was no way I was gonna stop in time if a car decided they wanted the other lane.

Where's Gareth and what have you done with him?

Quick sell that Volvo.
I remember a certain trip to the drags one friday evening, someone was 2up, lane splitting - it's ok, I wont mention the speed on a public forum.

Like these dudes!

That would definitly be the wrong cop to try and run from wouldnt it.
