Popos going undercover?

[BoristheBiter]

No you didn't. I was there on my crappy old police BMW and so were most of the other police riders in the Auckland area. The Black BMW R1200RT belongs to Darrien Rush Security who have the contract for the stadium security. It is fitted with orange lights and ridden by a security guard.

As for the CBR 1000, I wish, but trust me on this one. The police have no bikes other than BMW who have the contract to supply. It's near impossible to get anything new now including new lids, jackets etc, let alone a new bike. I just blew the gearbox on mine and I don't even know if the bike will be replaced. Just not enough money in the budget.

I'm not saying you are lying, but definitly mistaken. There are seven bikes with motorways police includcing my broken one.

Ok my mistake, but why was he wearing a police hi-vis vest?

Wasn't when I saw him, I should see if I can find mine, might have nicked it But in all seriousness, it's a psychologhical trick about associations. They chose to use the same model bike as us and dress like us so it triggers a preconditioned responce in people when they see him. The same as some security companies putting red and blue lights on their cars and using coulour schemes simmilar to the police. As long as the lights don't opperate and they don't use police insignia then no law broken.

He was facing away from me that's how I saw "police" across his back but i didn't take much more notice than that stuck in a line doing 20 isn't going to get me a ticket so i paid him no more attention.

There's a guy who works at Churchur hospital who rides a white K100 ex-patrol bike. Has a BMW top box where we used to have the radio box. He has a Series 3 BMW flip up helmet, and wears a yellow flouro to and from work.

I bet if I spoke to him he'd tell me that nobody cuts him off or pulls out in front of him on his commute.

Yep. It's at BMW Experiance with suspected destroyed gear box. Blew up on the way to work yesterday. And I wrote off my own bike last month so have to get 4L to and from work.
