Nah just an escort for the ride

No drama just a pull over, no ticket, was checking up on some rogue activity occuring in the district on a similar bike - we were sweet.

Heads Up and Enjoy

When I left my home in Wellington to head out for the New Years eve ride I figured I had enough time to get to the duck pond instead of the Kaiwhrawhara meeting place.
Heading out to the Hutt I had seen a couple of patrol cars and thought nothing of it when I pulled up behind one at the lights to cross the Kennedy Good Bridge. After crossing the bridge the patrol car pulled over and let me pass. Cool, so I thought. A quick look in the mirror confirmed he had taken an intrest in me so decided to take refuge amonst the collection of respectible looking motorcyclist's at the duck pond.
Unfortunatly my escort followed me in there with a full lighting display.
By this time my mind was racing.....could I have possibly exceeded the speed limit and been "tagged" by a concealed lazer toteing lawman??? ah no, just a licence and rego check, seems my bike fitted the discription of one they were looking for that had apparently been playing up in Wainuiomata.
Thanks for the photos MattRSK, it appears my bike and I are in all of them. Good to catch up with you and others on the ride.
All the best for the New Year KBer's.
Wayne.

Talk about making a big entrance Wayne! Gave us a bit of a laugh.

Thanks for the ride fellas.

Sorry I didn't get to join up with you guys for most of the ride. Got the timing wrong and ended up riding the bays by myself until I caught up at Island Bay. (I was the one that arrived just as you were about to get back on the bikes again!). Then when we got to the Parrot, I had to shoot off again due to family commitments. Hopefully I can stay longer the next time. (and make the starting point at the right time).
