What? you mean he didnt just haul you up for a cuppa?, I thought those HP's always carried a thermos, good pic, but a bit meanie to post it

All done in good spirits Cowboyz has the pic in all his posts now
Five mins earlier and it woulda been me he got The irony of it all is we wernt going our normal pace we had decided to cruise at around 120 ks and managed to so until we were nearly there when we got a little relaxed on the throttle Murphys bloody law
The cop got so excited to see us he did a U turn in front of us and nearly ended up in the ditch now That would have been funny

Funny you should mention that... but its amazing just how often that happens.. I suppose its a lot to do with just how attentive one naturally is on a bike.. I usually figure if I get zapped its my own fault for not being on the ball enough to read traffic behaviour coming the otherway, normal HP hiding spots, or checking mirrors enough.. I figure anything that gains on me in a hurry is a likely HP..
But its always nice to have a " Sweeper " running ahead

I not going to complain too much. I have done nearly 20000k on the zx9r and about 500km of that would have been at legal speeds and this is the first ticket I have got. Wont be the last. Just got to spread them out enough for the demerit points.

I spotted the cop when I was doing 135 and braked to 120 thinking he would ignore me at 120 but nope. Oh well.

The nice man was probably green with envy at the sight of seeing you..............

Now I have to find out how many points I have cause I have a 50/50 thought that I may be looking for a pillion seat for a while.

If you ring LTSA and tell them your licence number they will tell you straight away how many demerit points you have. The points are deducted when you pay the fine, but back dated to the date of the offence.
Hope you are on the right side of the ledger!

We had a good chat. While he was writing out the ticket he told me that he pulled a Honda over earlier in the day for 122km/hr. He had me going for ages until he admitted that he was joking and we laughed and laughed and laughed. Fun times. I knew he was kidding when he said Honda and speeding in the same sentence but I was feeling guiable. Oh good times..........

When I sorted out insurance I had to get a list of demerit points for the insurance company (and massive inflated excess) and I had to write a letter and fuck around for ages cause they wouldnt give me any info over the phone. That was only 6 months ago and I was on 90 points then. It all depends on what dropped off when.

Tough luck dude. Hopefully they've written so many tickets this weekend that they'll take next weekend off so the GC boys (particularly this one) & girls can go about their business unmolested...

Condolences Lance. Bummer. At least you know your hard earned dollars may go to a good cause and you'll get it back when you retire.

Does anyone know where you can buy a soft floor covering cause I just ROFL at both those comments and if you guys are going to carry on in this fashion then I need some padding.

At least you've gotta sense of humour - not like the cop...

I wouldnt have posted the picture if cowboyz didnt have a good sense of humour,beside Hed have done it to me anyway

[banditrider]

Nice to see the Concours scrape through without picking up a ticket. How'd she go in the dirt?

No I wouldnt!!!


I would have been too busy rolling on the ground laughing.

A little ironic considering our "perceved contrast in riding styles and bikes" that 15km beforehand you went by me and a truck at 150km/hr and I get the one ticket!

She handled the gravel section surprisingly well although a little dirty, What sort of tyres you putting on when you replace the bridgestones Im not that impressed with mine in the wet
