Interesting. I regard my job as being as much about prevention as cleaning up the mess.

That's good. Go do some prevention too, then.

But you weren't 'preventing' anything by interrupting that guy's day and condescending to him.

[Fast Eddie]

would it be less condescending if rastus wasn't a rozza?

if a stranger started a convo, if you are already stopped, saying nice bike/nice riding? would you not like that..?

I wouldn't mind it myself, doesn't matter if its a cop or civilian. Talking about bikes and riding is all good.

If you rocked up started talking to me and then did me for no l plate or something I'd be less keen..

[jrandom]

would it be less condescending if rastus wasn't a rozza?

Yep. He's doing it because he's a rozza and therefore his opinion is special and to be given extra weight, etc.

if a stranger started a convo, if you are already stopped, saying nice bike/nice riding? would you not like that..?

I would not like that if they were taking the approach that their approval was going to encourage me to continue doing the right thing.

Because that is condescension, not admiration.

What Mr Ratus did was not the same as you or me going up to someone random in the street and saying "nice bike" or "nice riding". It would've been if he'd done it out of uniform.

[Akzle]

If you rocked up started talking to me and then did me for no l plate or something I'd be less keen..

yeah me too


which re-reminds me. i was going to get some "tui" L plates (L - yeah right) made up.

obviously these would be hilarious slapped on the the back of your >660cc bike.
so who wants to give me some money?

Good on you its nice to be complimented on riding, lots and lots of moons ago, got pulled over at the end of the Foxton straights, was in MPH then, I had been cruising at 65mph overtaking higher than that.

The cop was great he said had been tracking me for about 5 miles, felt that I was a tad fast but rode really well, no danger in my style. Asked me nicely, just to keep it down a little and sent me on my way.

This is the one cop I have never for gotten, and still hear him to this day.

So yeh positive stuff mate keep it up, no matter what the moaners say.

Hmmm.

You're a weak-minded lickspittle toady who enjoys praise from authority figures entirely too much.

You lack dignity, self-determination and self-respect. If you think you'd feel better after hearing a cop tell you your riding's good, your riding's probably not very good.

Did you slow down? That's the big question isn't it? Did it have any impact?

[awayatc]

he is still alive......
What else you need to know?
He obviously never ever did speed again....
Cause we all know speed kills

Tracked in a 'straight line' along the Foxton straights and that you rode well in a straight line. Try a few corners sometime. FFS.

Yep. He's doing it because he's a rozza and therefore his opinion is special and to be given extra weight, etc.

Actually I'm lucky enough to ride a bike for a living, and I'm allowed the pleasure of making decisions about my work that I think help road safety. 24 years at it, I'm the bwana of the Churchur bike section, which allows me to do things that I think count. I think accentuating the positive works. I don't think my opinion is any more relevant than anyone elses, but the difference is, I frequently express it.

I share an office with the guys who attend 60% of the crashes in Churchur. We get a snapshot of the crashes, and far, far too many of them arise from motorcycles overtaking on the left, either legally or illegally. Whose fault it is matters little, the end result is fecking evil for the riders. This dude was doing it legally, and was applying a healthy degree of clearly observable caution and skill.

So I chatted to a fellow biker, just for a few seconds, and we parted with mutual respect. Me for his riding, he for my light humour and professional banter.

Bog off all ye nay-sayers, I'll continue to roam and perform works of kindness.

Harumph.
