Noticed a group of bikers had been stopped yesterday by about 6 police guys.
Looked as though police had alerted colleagues further down the road then pulled them.
This was near Hollingbourne/Leeds Castle area in Kent on the A20
This is just a courtesy comment, not an alert.
Nice day today and all.
Thankyou for the heads up FJR1300, might keep a lookout today rather than tunnel vision that I normally do 
Geneticlty its only males that suffer from tunnel vision. Something to do with the hunter gatherus trait that females didn’t require/need. God it would have been fun stalking the great woolly mammoth on a Friday night…
There is also a black ford or black something (all these cars look alike too me) along the A4, with the lights hidden in the front grills
Think I got off with a warning yesterday, but will have to wait for two weeks to be sure :crazy:
Done that before! :w00t:
snicker … mel boy…
tunnel vision is a man trait? But we never miss a thing! apparently.
I pulled off the end of the M20 at Folkestone the other day and there was a Blue and White Gixer 1000 Twin Akrapovics on stopped behind a car. When I got up to it and alongside the rider in two piece dark multi coloured dainese with a multi coloured Arai sat on the bike, and the bike I saw the little blue led’s flashing … he was writing the gutted young couple a ticket out. I pulled the bike over and walked around the outside of the car, still with my helmet on and I said excuse me Officer, as he looked up I caught him one right good crack right in front of his ear, and he went down like a lead balloon, my fist is 5.5 ‘’ across and I used to knock insomniac donkeys out when they couldn’t sleep. We bundled him into the boot of the couples Peugeot, drove up to Capel to the Battle of Britain memorial and threw his limp body off the white cliffs. I’m selling a nice Gixer 1000 track day bike now … cheap! :w00t:
Of course, I didn’t but jeez thats what went thru my mind … Ali McBeal-like without the funky dancing baby.
That grates on me, the covert BS. Where is the visible prevention in that? You see a cop bike or car in yellow and blue and you slow down for awhile just in case. The time it takes a unmarked bike or car to spot tag and catch and stop a speeding car is a period when an accident may occur that would have been prevent by a marked car. Isn’t it? And … isn’t sneaking up behind somebody and going BOOO! an act of terror ??? 
yep iv had the tunnel vison, just go into your own world but am still able to notice everything on the road. 
I’ll keep to myself what went through my mind about you on reading the first part of your post ! I will say that yes, I’d like more marked traffic cars/bikes than camera’s out there but there is a use for unmarked vehicles and as the old saying goes, if you do take the mickey, (don’t most people), and get caught, then best you just take whats coming - a warning if you’re lucky a ticket if not.
always knew there was a reason I hate gsxrs
This sounds more like an ANPR sting or a general tug to look the bikes over and either PG9 them for load cans etc or give em a knuckle slap.
Are you a copper Buza Baz? Or ‘Thought Police’ maybe … ?
Not having that … if they(you) want to play the ‘Us and Them’ game, fine. I’m joe public, your the plod, I look like joe public, you look like plod for dummies. If you don’t look like plod, you ain’t playing fair. You don’t play fair, I ain’t playin fair and you go over the cliff! Simple … like Merkat dot com!
Cops target bikers all over England every sunny Sunday, on fast rural roads … they don’t target the dozy dangerous car drivers doing anything in their entertainment centres except drive. They are responsible for 70% of the bike RTA’s.
Unmarked? In the right circumstances, but normal people aren’t criminals, we are human, we err, we make mistakes and we aren’t able to say Oooh sorry ha ha ha genuine mistake, I’ll pay it back … No harm, no foul, like our dodgy politicians. The quality of a society can be measured by the compassion it shows. Zero tolerance is a abhorrence created by the insidious ACPO Fascists and executed by wooden tops who think they are safe, on the ‘right side’.
All that those selfish or brain-washed morons led by fascists do … is create civil disobedience. But you do’t get it.
No sale Baz!
yawn heard it all before… bikers get targeted cos they ride like idiots and put themselves and others in danger, i meet at least one every time i go out, and at least 1 car, makes it even in my book.
Yawn!? :doze: What a ridiculous sweeping statement. No … they don’t!So your argument is that one murdering suicide bomber of an ethnic faith makes all members of that ethnic faith murderous bombers. NO ? … but its okay for you to accept that NBC cops can do that with Bikers. You’ve missed your ticket Sweetie you should be a MP.
Fast experienced bikers know when to do their thing. I have regularly ridden with off duty cops … all at high speed, and none of us went to sleep and got tunnel vision … becoming … dangerous, at any time. I’ve ridden fast all my life and never had an accident at speed on the open road or caused anyone to crash.
Only the inadequate, unskilled, inexperienced (no matter how long they have been riding) and bored/asleep riders with car driver mentalities are dangerous. I’ve dropped or had riders by the throat who I’ve caught riding dangerously in the past. Lesson learned, lives remain unruined.
Cops who aren’t honest are hypocrites. End ov …

These are only the ones who got caught! And … it Doesn’t matter which poxy paper published it, the facts are proveable, so by your argument the majority of Cops are dangerous but aren’t accountable … so presumably carry on been dangerous.
What did BusaBaz say you take the mickey … you pay the price. Yeah Right!:ermm:
maybe they were stop because they violate the rules!!!
Yeah … maybe they were doing 80 mph on on the M20 … One mph over the ACPO recommended 70 plus 10% and 2 mph! Just like the 48,500 Met cops did … and only 26 got prosecuted. If thats a token gesture why even bother. 0.05%
Yeah, I recon a few of us have gone after a wolly mammouth on a Friday night xD At the time, you usually think it’s pretty little pu… cat though ;[
I’m not the ‘thought Police’ at all, I just didn’t like what you said about what you’d like to do to a copper for simply doing his job. I am a copper and have been for a long time.
Here’s a question for you, what was the copper doing with the couple he had stopped ? I’ll bet you that you just don’t have a clue, you’ve just spouted your mouth off. You never know, he could have been riding looking for/at something else and this couple almost hit him by veering into his lane ??
Thats the whole point, you have just gone into one without knowing any of the facts. A chance to have a pop at the cops and sound hard as nails by saying what you’d like to do.
Ok, so how far do we take this. No more plain clothes cops at all for everything ? Playing Fair you say, well I think you’ll find that we do play fair virtually all of the time. You see, we have rules and regs that we abide by, those same rules and regs if they are not followed correctly will get people off with offences from speeding right up to murder.
Cops do not target bikers, cops target those that break the rules of the road, exactly what they are paid to do.
Everyone, and I do mean everyone, breaks those rules for a variety of reasons and it is not our job to be judge and jury, you see it would be a police state if we were. Thats what we have a court system for.
If you think cops don’t deal with car drivers who break the rules also then you are living in cloud cuckoo land.
Yes you can say that when you get stopped. You can and may be simply given a warning unless you (in that individual Officers eyes) need to go before a court
Zero tolerance, it doesn’t exist. Have a simple search on here (LB) and you’ll see how many of the boys and girls have been stopped and given warnings
I’m clearly one of those morons according to you, nice, does it make you feel better to get personal ?
Don’t get the no sale bit, over my head I’m afraid.
You highlight something that someone has said and state it was a sweeping statement ?
Almost the same as callong cops morons and members of ACPO facists isn’t it.
Throwing stones in glass houses isn’t good.
What does NBC mean ?
I actually agree with you here but as I said in my original post, you know full well what the consequences are if you get seen and stopped !
It’s really begining to sound that some laws (those that you don’t like) shouldn’t apply to you. It is not the cops that make the laws, it is those people that we the public vote in - no matter what we think of MP’s it is basically down to the public about the laws that are in force.
I think you’ll find that anyone can be dangerous, any one of us can make a mistake for a variety of reasons that at certain speeds will be dangerous to ourselves and dependent on the location others too.
That then snowballs if you hurt yourself by then putting on offer those members of the 999 services trying to get to you as quick as possible to save your life.
Here we go again, I’m sorry but is this meant to impress ? It doesn’t in the slightest. just remember that there’s always someone bigger and if your prepared to get a criminal record to teach someone a ‘lesson’ then you are either very immature or not all there - my opinion only.
I agree.
PMSl, and what point is this supposed to represent ?
In the Met alone there can be as many as 11000 incidents dealt with a day. A large number of those will be urgent calls where it is necessary to use the exemptions we have by law to get there as quick as we can (and as safe as we can too).
Are you proposing that all calls are answered within the speed limit ?
Policing is like most other jobs, people will make mistakes and people will do things that they shouldn’t - after all, just like you said earlier, we are human too, The difference is that is caught (just like you) they will also face the court and (unlike you) will be disciplined also which could go as far as losing your job.
I still stand by what I said.
Well said Busabaz…chances are, if you work in West London I’ve probably met you.
I have to say though, if they were doing anything major they probably wouldn’t have stopped. Genuine bikers tend to stop and face the music.
Sorry m8, I think you’ll find it used to be 10% plus 3mph but the 3mph was dropped a few years ago so the ‘accepted’ amount is 10%.
