If I can give any of you noobs the learn: Pull over - smile nice - have the licence out - be respectful - and it's a whole lot better in the long run. You can only dodge so many bullets.

Sometimes its to late to play nice, your already in the sell your bike zone, might as well see if you can win at the powerball.

Nah - you'll only compound the clusterfuck. Eventually. Small islands these.

Top job taking the time to wave. Sounds like it was a dawdle for the biker.

Got to agree with Dave really,if as in the first post the cops were right up his arse then they have his rego,maybe he was waving his licence goodbye,if the bike was stolen well i hope the fucker crashed and it hurt.

Pffft. No wheelstand?

Neither big nor clever.

There was the usual amount of bacon out west this morning.

Very predictable.

To small a place to run here, cameras everywhere....next minute your on Police 10-7...

Yeah your right, I totally agree, running is not smart and its going to do more harm in 90% of cases, but Im will to bet more than one member on here is still riding due to liberal but measured amounts of throttle while his back was to the disco.

The wave....Priceless...
Top man

Without doubt,i just dont see the point when theres one up your arse,hes got ya rego so its a done deal,doing the runner just means a few summers walking,pointless.

I guess it comes down to how big a gambler you are with these things.
