    But would you ride with you?

    And if you caught yourself speeding would you DIY a ticket?

    Yup, would ride with me but if I was speeding? meh, after some mental turmoil I decided to use my discretion and a warning were the best plan!

    But next time I'd better look out.

    No you aren't & the great unwashed hoards sigh with relief such a person as yourself wears no badge

    But you are the (self imposed) poster boy for all that is holy when it comes to riding "safely". Wasn't that hard to put together was it? Geez even for you I would of thought it an easy step
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Mr Scumdog rides a Harley. If he *were* speeding, he wouldn't be able to keep up with himself, to give himself the ticket.

    What the fuck are you on about?

    If you have evidence of me riding unsafely, table it, or shut the fuck up.

    lol ease up on the Bourbons Steve, take a deep breath & go back a few posts (you are as bad as ya mate Pussy, throw ya toys out of the cot so quickly).


    I did ASK you if you had ever broken the law whilst riding a motorcycle, you chose to ignore that in the following posts. I just find that terribly interesting given the ferocity with which you attack people that don't agree with you on this subject

    Acceptable? I think not.
    Why not? I bet you have exceeded 120kph. I know I have. I'd wager there's no-one on this site who hasn't , except may be a few whose bikes simply can't (like Mr Scumdog ). Why should the guy over there be reagrded in a different light to the rest of us?

    Now, the few speeding tickets I've had, the cop has been quite non-judgemental about it. "You wuz doing blah". "yes, grovel, plead, wheedle, promise" (Often works , had lots more warnings than tickets). "sorry, but the tolerance we allow is 10kph, got to give you a ticket". "Oh , alright". No lectures about how speeding is the ultimate evil, far worse then mass murder or kiddie fiddling, etc etc. If I was ticketed by a cop who went on thus (and I know they are out there), and then discovered said cop speeding off duty, I would indeed call him a hypocrite. But if the cop just says "You wuz doing blah, sorry law says 100kph, it's my job to dish you out a ticket", well that's not imposing any moral judgement. If I saw him speeding the next day I wouldn't think less of him.

    After all, the guy at the tax department who says you must pay all that tax probably bitches about being overtaxed just like you do. It's just his job to collect it. Cops job to give you a ticket if he sees you breaking the speed limit. Maybe he doesn't really believe in the speed limit, but thing is it's his job to enforce the law when on duty. Not just the bits of the law he agrees with. Off duty, another matter.

    I have never said I haven't.

    What I have said is that I'm not the one who is issuing tickets to people for doing something that I, myself, have been guilty of.
