Pulled for bold tyre, any help plz???

thanks mate, i’ll try and get a pic off it and everyone can see then, it was JUST on the markers

If hearing the truth is a “provocation” then maybe he needs to grow up?

You can’t have it both ways…if you want to go into traffic on an illegal vehicle and then act like an arsehole once you’re there, why act surprised when the law cracks you for it?

Grow up, take your punishment without whining…or better yet, don’t break the law to begin with if you are unable/unwilling to ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES of your own actions.

Tony,

thanks, i have a dictionary.

Now refer to my last post regarding ‘reading’ a post…

I’ll explain it in a non-dictionary , provoking, chastising, put downing way…

The lad CLEARLY wanted to see if he could wriggle through any loopholes in the tyre problem…we said ‘No’.

then a few started accusing some of us of ‘provoking’ him as if we were poking him with pointy sticks…

Yes, Brother, we are a community and sometimes truth and the way it is can come over harsh…

But, from experience , we told him how it happened and why it happened and what would now happen…ok?

ok?

This whole thread about bald rear tyres leads me to one point. The Metz Z6 tyre. This essentialy has no tread on the center of the rear tyre, only on the sides and front. This would obviously cause a problem to the plod as there is no real certian way for the plod to say when the tyre is passed its limit.

Pulled for bold tyre, any help…

I’m still trying to work out what a ‘bold’ tyre is

…sorry, doesnt help much does it

well said porkscratchin!.

Tony,

“If you want to get semantic about this (which obviously you do!) then the post was going fine until you said “…makes you wonder what is more ‘defective’ the tyre or the driver that takes a vehicle on the road with bald tyres…”…sorry but however cleverly you want to get out of that one (or try)…that is a direct insult… I think we have already dealt with the “tread” issue…”

Go back and READ,READ,READ my FIRST post…pleeeeeeaaase…

Simply told him what to expect , end of.

I don’t need to ‘try’ to get out of anything no matter how much your trying to flower it up

And i will reiterate, if you as a person using a motor vehicle ,knowingly take a vehicle onto the road with defective parts then you have to accept responsibility.

If you are not aware that your tyre is bald what else are you NOT aware of that is faulty or needs replacing?

So before you start becoming all community on me , brother ,try and remember Lee posted this on a PUBLIC FORUM for ALL to see.

Looking for a way to get out of his predicament and i simply pointed out AS IN MY FIRST POST what he is likely to expect.

But Lee, from his OWN admission, was actually asking how to ‘get out of it’.

And my advice?

well, brother, go back and READ my further posts and you will see from my advice it was clear:

“If your going to draw attention to yourself then make sure your bike is squeeky clean”

blimey, is this a monday morning thread or what?

have to say i got a bit low on tread on my rear on the duc - punctures etc had meant i’d kept getting new tyres before i’d really had to worry about it. Cheers to chrisdee for the heads up on that one!

personally would hope that if a copper noticed my tyre was a bit shady, that he’d be thinking of my safety and suggest i get it changed over sharpish rather than ruin my licence for it (i’m doing that quite nicely on my own it would appear!). could even live with a fine but points for low thread? bit harsh. wires coming thru maybe…

I give up.

I can’t remember the last time i prosecuted a biker for a bald tyre…VDRS at the most.

I basically told Lee how it was.

the defective quote you keep banging on about was a dig, because getting points on your licence over something as daft as a bald tyre is ridiculous…theres enough crap out there ready to dish out points (scamera vans, gatsos etc) without you adding to them simply by not sticking your eyeballs over your tyres…

and i don’t need to be a mechanic to check fluids/electrics/brakes and rubber on my bike…it should be done automatically before you go out each time…or it’s your licence when you get tugged.

Anyway, i gave the factual side, can’t be bothered anymore just PM if anybody wants any advice in the future…

and my parting shot?

BEFORE you ride your bike using the following as a guide:

P. O. W. D. E. R.

P = Petrol (do you have enough!)

O = Oil

W = water (Coolant)

D = Damage (loose bits, cracked lenses etc)

E = Electrics

R = Rubber (tyres)

doing this each times takes about 5 mins MAX

alot cheaper than a fine and points and a damn site better than an ‘Off’

Goodbye.

And it’s road legal?

Don’t sound like it.

I’m smirking while reading this thread. You know that it appears to only be Coop who got a bit riled at the advice / suggestions given on page 1, not Lee. And given the time of night he may have been more ‘prickly’ than otherwise. But no matter, he is entitled to his say.

No you’re all, err what’s the word ? “twittering” on amongst yourselves and everyone’s nose seems to be getting further out of joint.

Remember the typed word is very poor at conveying mood and feeling. So please pack it in now, most of know that advice is given with good intent and if we are not sure we should assume it is.

This is not the place for a debate about wording or presumed state of mind / intent etc…

WHO GIVES A MONKEY’S ???

I’d like to thank you my friend for your time and support for me,

as you can tell i’m no wiz on a computer so nearly every thin you said is what i was thinkin, just couldn’t get all that out if i tried.

all i can say is you can never tell a copper anythin, and have him admit bin wrong about anythin. NOT sayin anyone is wrong or right just a diffrent bread off people.

there is always one everywhere you go.

anyway i’m gettin me 3 gold stars now

Yes the Z6 has nearly no tread on the center of the rear tyre. Your wrong…
REAR

FRONT

Lee,

“all i can say is you can never tell a copper anythin, and have him admit bin wrong about anythin. NOT sayin anyone is wrong or right just a diffrent bread off people.”

Absolutely Lee, I’ve never been wrong about things in my entire life.

get a grip mate.

sorry maybe you MISSED IT THE FIRST TIME

“not saying anyone is right or wrong”

now do you wont me to say it agein???

god copper’s, when will they learn

he just proved my point,

lee says: " there is always one everywhere you go ".


well it’s certainly not porkscratchin, so no need for the insults!. like he said, he has never been wrong about things in his entire life, like myself. so how could this be?. i could’nt see anywhere on the thread’s where he proved your point either. whatever next !?!.

there is usually always one irresponsible rider everywhere the police go.

…now there’s a point you have already proved.

LOL

See you at the bar.

if i had a pound for everytime i seen a cop biker cut someone up or be in the wrong lane or ever speed i would need to work.

cuz you ride bike’s for work means your so good and never do anythin wrong ha ha.

if 1 off my mate’s joined up for the plod he would be a mate anymore, but no need to worry about that cuz non of my mate’s got bullied at school.

do you feel like your still at work when you get in and log on???

your right this is a joke thread, i’ll wait for the reply you can bull **** up or even read what you think your read but not really, but as your coppers your’ll not admit it and carry on

i’m even boring myself now, thats how much fun you coppers are

did you catch any peedo’s or rapiest or muggers today or just stick to what you do best???

sorry my falt, below the belt, as you said you dont pull bikers

And ‘Crikey’.

I stand corrected. Thought tread had to be across the surface of the tyre, or mebbe that’s just cars. It can’t be bikes can it? Haven’t really thought this through have I?

Who knows?

O yes,

I know…

butnevermindireallydontwanttostartanotherthingherethankyouandgoodnight

Man, there’s freebies on offer!! What kind of Northern monkey would I be to miss that!

I’ll be there on the dot, getting as mny free beers down my gullet as poss before Timmy turns up.

CU there.
