“Why was I stopped for a minor traffic incident outside my house where my car was registered to, in full view of all my neighbours in broad daylight, with ID on me?.. and forced to lay over the bonnet of my car by three non-traffic cops from the local nick…”
maybe they just thought you looked cute ? that’s why I could never be a copper, I would spend my whole time “taking down young ladies particulars” and treating real cuties to particularly invasive body searches back at the station …and harrasing bikers obvioulsy - you gotta fit in …
“Heathrow airport gives us priority to pursue a bike/car ESPECIALLY under the terrorism act…YOU may know your riding like a pratt because of some reason that is minor but if you fail to stop and head for an Airport…well you could be packed to the eyebrows with explosives as far as we are concerned…”
So it is no escape there, they would just shoot you ? Damn, I dont even look Brazilian … seriously though, because of all the terrorism stuff in place there it cant be a clever place to run to.
"Police aren’t allowed to pursue bikes.
That’s right they ‘suggest’ we don’t…‘follows’ are permitted though [Whistling] "
Which is effectively the same thing and, yes, they do try to knock you off accidentally
Personally I would always stop, having a bike in good condition, proper leathers and sensible attitude gets you off most things most of the time, its just a shame you dont get the option to run once you find out you are going to get nicked anyway…
I’m a new member and a relatively new biker. I think the site is great and thought I might add my 2 cents worth.
I think that on both sides there are both bikers and police officers who let their side down.
There are riders that give other riders a bad name, and there are officers that give the police a bad name.
The point I’m trying to make is that we should not all be tarred by the same brush and bikers need to realise that not all officers are ticket happy and on a power trip (and sometimes do a good job)and the police need to realise that bikers are not all reckless with a death wish (and are very competent and skilled riders).
Anyway, less of the deep and meaningfull - It’s friday night and i’m off to get p****d
Ghostie, stop bear-bating for goodness-sake. It’s cruel and heaven knows you stunt guys don’t need to provoke the traffic squads anymore than necessary, surely?
Corkscratchin (natch), this can’t be the first taunt and ya must be used to it by now…
Of course i’m used to it mate…normally by bigger and better and more established stunters than ghostie and his ‘Awol’ lot…
difference with the lads i’m used to is we work together out there and everyone is happy…
Ghostie would just like to insult and give it the Charlie big potatoes…
which is surprising for a wannabe stunter that wants to stunt on public roads
His call i suppose…but I can guarantee you i’m going to be meeting him in the very near future…how else can AWOL function if they don’t advertise where/what they are doing?..
And you can bet your life he’s going to know who i am…like i promised

Quote: …hmmmm… you’ve never intoduced yourself to me M8… never seen you around… heard a lot from you though… Do I look for a very fast bike always adhering to the speed limit…with a keyboard across the handlebars… and a cut down seat to handle extremely large genitalia…?
thats some funny **** tonyZXR, but true at the same time.
wots the point of riding a bike if u cant exceed the speed limit a bit now & then when its safe to do so.
I’ve had a nice afternoon out on the 'ped while you’ve all been at it, hammer and tongs.
Just thought I’d say
PS. If anyone shouts c0ck at you, be it in a pub or otherwise, just make sure the ol’ fella hasn’t been left out in the breeze after the last trip to the gents before resorting to a snappy comeback or punch to the hooter.
