Don't forget the clothing.

Blow me! And when do you know if someone is worth it? When the shit hits the fan. And U normally realise that the ones that you were counting on are nowhere to be seen.

But this was about riding, and it is a narrow subject. Not much going on apart from the riding.

I disagree.

A heck of a lot has 'gone down' on rides that I've been on and on occasion those in attendance have 'been there' for others. What would you call a situation where the 'shit hits the fan'?

Honestly, I can't recall any incident (on a ride) where my mates were needed and they didn't front up. Just as I have never deserted them in the same situation. Spanner required? No prob. Punchup? Get in there. Injuries? Keep a cool head, get an ambo.

Not much going on? Your rides must be confined to the back yard.

Ye , why not?

Umm, help !!!... have I ridden with any cops? Oh man, do I now need paranoia counselling? Should I suspect that a) there are police officers who ride motorcyles along with KB members who know they are riding with cops b) there are police officers who ride along with KB members who don't know that they are riding with cops c) there are KB members who are cops c) there are KB members who are spies for the cops & who tell tales on KB members c) the police monitor activity on KB including dates, destinations and activities of intended rides and may act on the free intel.

**schado** · 6th March 2009, 11:45

also... should I suspect that the letter 'c' does not come after the letter 'c'? Or am I just paranoid? :slap:

All of the above.

Tis part of your charm m'dear

I've ridden many times to rallies and other rides with a cop mate of ours, and he has NEVER acted as such when off duty. Didn't even budge when smelling funky smokers around at the Cold Kiwi.

And what Scumdog and Grahameeboy definitely applies. The guy is awesome and not at all "cop like" when off duty.

Thing is, he's a top bloke full stop, wether he wears blue or not...I wouldn't socialise with him if he was a dick.

It finally happened.
Guess it had to eventually.
I rode with a copper.
Think I'm cured of my Police aversion, hell if the bugger knew how to fish he would be a perfect riding partner.

Seriously bro' you have changed my perception of the Police and for that I thank you!
