Would you ride with coppers?

[Dean]

I would definitely ride with a cop, have been wanting to lately anyway. Im young now and have a huge competitive ego and im upgrading to a proper 250 the combination ends up sadly. I figure if i ride with a cop now i will naturally take things easy and not do stupid shit, i would learn how to have fun riding without treating the roads like a rcae track givin the right bike.
It will save me for many years to come

this thread is shit, i have two riding buddies, both are cops, both good buggers in their own right, one beleives in the whole road safety deal, the other not so much, when we go riding they dont talk shop as they are off duty, one is a top rider (ex MOT) and has shared a few tips etc, the other an ex-army motorcycle instructor and in all the times weve been out i think we may have hit 120kph for a breif moment i.e down hill once or twice.

never has the riding been crazy or dangerous and i will continue to ride with them.

If you dont like cops, dont call them if you need them.

A mans only as good as his word?

Yea yea i knew what he was getting at.Like i posted earlier theres good n bad in every profession its just on here that coppers seem to get more than there fair of shit,ive no problem with it fuck its the interweb who cares but in SDs case ive no choice but to speak up really as i know the bloke.If he says he does or doesnt do something then thats the way it is,simple.Theres not to many people ive met coppers or not that i would say that about but hes one of them.I owe him nothing,fuck hes a tassle wearing Harley rider but truth is what truth is.

And I have no problem with that (as long as those cops don't head out on Monday to ticket people for 115kph).

There are examples, however (in this thread alone), of police officers doing considerably highers speeds than 120kph.

Acceptable? I think not.

This should be reading... "I can't speed because the tassles slow me down way to much..."

Yeah, the tassles - nothing to do with riding a Harley?

Having met Scumdog last year, I must say that regardless of his profession, he seemed like a decent bloke. I can't see the sense in believing that someone couldn't possible be a good bugger if they are a member of the police force.

I know there are plenty of arseholes amongst the police, but that doesn't mean that every police officer is necessarily an arsehole. Also - not every police officer spends his days writing tickets for speeding.

We have moved into the " I don't like some Cops, so great
another chance to bash them". Mode. Sorry Katman if you have had a bad experience with a cop, but not everyone is bad ( and I know you don't think they are - well hope ) Saints can only be found in churches . Sometimes we put people on such high pedestals there is no way they can possibly stay on.

So help me God"



Interesting that it does not have, added to that oath - "and I will ensure that my own conduct equals or exceeds that which I will impose upon others".

[stevewederell]

Totally would, actually he'd be pushing the limits far more than me!!

Bitterness is what keeps me young.

I like the part that's not there...

The part where you didn't answer to whether you had ever broken the law whilst riding a motorbike

Hey, dumbarse - I'm not the one handing out tickets to others for breaking the law whilst riding a motorbike.

Well mate as true as that is surely its better to give than receive?

Are you happy to receive punishment for something from someone who is guilty of the same?
