Ridiculous radar cop

[Japtwin]

coming back from Paeroa races today, great day by the way, came across a radar cop in probably the lamest place I have ever seen. Busy twisty road with few passing lanes but one of good length ideally placed on virtually the only straight. Guess where the cop is? Parked half way along the passing lane for christ sake! Thanks mate. So after law abiding citizens sit behind traffic for kms they get to said passing lane, let rip briefly to clear traffic and give others a similar chance to pass and hey presto, fined. What a dick.
p.s. confess its the principle that irks as wasn't exactly crawling back from Paeroa

didnt you know speed kills...crash at 100ks and you will be fine...crash at 101ks and you will die

dont be silly. 101 and its like you havent got a smoker. it takes 104 to kill you.

We saw two cops today on the way back from Paeroa. One on the Ngatea straights, he gave us the loveliest flash of his headlights.

The other one was just north of Oteha Valley Road, parked up and pointing his gun thing at us...we pootled past him (thanks to the car oncoming that gave the heads up)

Good analogy that advert isn't it?

Ooo, I have a better one though, 100k is like playing Russian roulette with no bullets, each k over adds a bullet to the clip

Was his plate CBL700? That wanker was being a cock this morning sitting about 1 meter off my rear tire at 100 clicks and wouldnt back off till I dropped to about 40 kmhr so then he flicks on his reds and blues and ducks up the inside of a corner

Why didn't you just pull over and wave him past.

Why the fuck should I ?

Is he gods gift to the world and allowed to cruise at above 100? No.

If he needed to get past a quick flick of his red and blues, I keep an eye on whats behind me, would of have moved me. But rather he thought it was important to tailgate me so his tiny penis would appear bigger to his mate in the passenger seat.

Speed kills! Speed kills! (that right I'm mocking the people who mock that 'speed kills').

Oh sorry 'its the way we're speeding' or 'its not the speed but the manner in which we're riding'..... yeah yeah whatever.

Throw what euphemisms at it as you wish.

What? Can transcend physics laws?....common sense? So you can controll all the variables on the road?

Surely a push bike is more dangerous...

i. You share a lane with a cage and have to deal with the opposing traffic.

ii. Minimal protective gear.

iii. Tired, using excertion, less attention on the road and surroundings.

iv. No mirrors.

v. Not keeping with the flow of traffic(ie slower)

vi. Less rubber on the road.

Whats the difference.....

hmmmmm let me think.... no don't help... I can do it....

Speed?

I appreciate as bike riders a significant amount of us enjoy the blast of acceleration that bikes can give but surely such self serving statements from bikers show a lack of awareness and contribute to our finite period on the road.

Just be candid with yourself. Hey, speeds good fun but naughty!!!

Speed kills over 9000 innocent babies each year in this country

So it takes a 40 bullet revolver to lose your license. Need a mighty big one to lose your life

(Not that i am encouraging speeding at all... you nawty little monkeys )

But what about the baby seals? Why won't anybody think of the baby seals?

Keep the gun clean and well maintained and the heavier cylinders with the rounds in them should settle at the bottom leaving you safe!


So what they are saying is as long as you maintain your bike well you can speed?

best troll of the week so far, but a long way off the upside down forks or the tosser Skidmark one about going 180 kph round a 55k corner with knee on the ground.

I give it a B: could do better.

you heard about the eskimo who took his snowmobile into the repair shop because it had something wrong with it? and the guy says "Itll take me a while to look it over" and the eskimo says "Hey no problem, I'll go for a walk" and while he is out walking sees an icecream shop, and when he gets back to the snowmobile shop the guy says "Oh, yup, you've blown a seal" and the eskimo goes "No way, Ive just eaten an icecream"

those baby seals you mean?
