Piggish behaviour WELLYSTYLEZ

**bull** · 18th January 2008, 10:43

Got radar'd by bike copper heading North on motorway out of Welly on wed night, had just waved to biker heading south and then saw copper on left side, gave him a nod as he was packing the radar gun into his pannier. Carried on down the middle lane, cop pulls into the middle lane red and blues going, so i then pull into left lane. He follows me into left lan still blue and reds, so i pull over on shoulder, switch off and dismount. Start heading towards the pigger then i was shocked(not tazered!) this pig could actually speak proper english, no snorts or anything, imagine my astonishment after all the posts on here about pigs in blue uniforms.
Cop checked out my bike and seemed impressed with it, hadnt seen one of them before. Asked me if there was a reason for my speeding, classic line from him "you know sunny day, big bike", i said nope no reason, he thanked me for stopping so quickly and took my details.
Long story short, ticketed for 115 in 100 zone, $80 fine, 20 demerits.

Pleasant experience, guess the whole me being polite and him noticing that meant he was polite - OR its a case of arseholes in all professions stuff it up for the good ones out there, and we only get to here about the bad stories.

thanks Welly cop, did his job politely and was no big fuss.

C'mon dude - this is not the KB way, where's the rant and rave about how you were "only-15k-over-the-limit, he-should-have-let-me-off-with-a-warning-fuck-the-revenue-gathering-pigs" stuff.

Yeah...I kind of feel let down too...I was even sharpening the axe and lighting a few torches and stuff

(not to forget the BBQ for a few roast pork loins

)

hehe, I was let off every speeding ticket that I could've been issued without even trying!

They even let me off a Dangerous Driving Charge with a warning! Maybe its the wind or something?! The only speeding ticket I have ever been issued was while I was riding the A, go figure......

till that day i had only been done for speeding in my V6 LWB Pajero, 113km/h. Was bloody funny coz had the bike at home and the Holden Commodore yet got done for speeding in the whale truck. Oh well such is life.

My name's bull, and I ride like a nana...

boy oh boy you just wait until Aroha finds out mate. Ouch.

you bloody hoon. It must be that newly tightened chain is making the speedo read slow eh?

**Fatjim** · 18th January 2008, 14:36

Mate, first you find out whether he's gpoing to give you a ticket, then decide whether your going to use him as a sounding board for retard jokes. If you're gonna have to pay 80 bucks, get something out of it.

**Coldrider** · 18th January 2008, 14:47

You thank him for relieving you of 80 bucks, I suppose he has shown you the error of your ways, oh, and, have a pleasant day sir.

**jimbo600** · 18th January 2008, 15:39

And what accident black did this occur on? Oh let me guess, none, I bet he was on a stretch of road that most honest folk would accidentally speed on.
Bet you won't see him out late on a Fri/Sat trying to get boi racers, nooooo too much hassle that.

We are missing the most important point here! The southbound rider didn't give you the 'whirling finger!'

Harley rider I bet. Did he have fingerless gloves by any chance? Or one of those 'bandido' face scarves perhaps?

So to summarise; you have learned to bend over and say thank-you when the man in blue drops the soap in the shower.

That's right.

I heard a story of a Wellington biker getting stopped for speeding up the gorge (like who doesn't do 85 up there, eh?

) Anyways this gentleman was well known to be umm.

Let us say, an arrogent prick to just about anybody.

Said gentleman refuses Mr Policemans request to take of his helmet and gets a night on the house at the corner of Victoria and Harris Street.

So it usually pays to do as the man says, and nobody gets hurt!
