Just warming The Riot before the ride home this evening. The Riot warming nicely in the M/C Bay, f/wheel to the curb/zorst to the road. I’m gas-bagging on the phone when Mr & Mrs plod drive by, stop then backup so they’re right behind The Riot.
The car window comes down and my straight thru zorst is almost window height. In the narrow street the zorst seem even louder as it pumps fumes into the car. I cannot hear the nice man inside so I hit the kill switch. “Sorry” Mr Plod says as he notices my ear-thingy (blueteeth whatever?), “I didn’t realize you were on the phone”. He’s looking at my number plate that might just be a lil’smaller than it could be. “Is that a 250cc?” he asks. The fella has stopped for a chat about bikes!
If I’d have had more time, I’d have offered him ago:D
(just thought I’d share this wiv ya, especially if there’s any doubters on here? )
some good uns about, had similar many moons ago stopped by plod thought oooh in deep doodoo now, was a tad enthusiastic with throttle, turned out he just wanted to no where my plate was from, it was a forces (holland) one and he hadnt seen it before. Quick chinwag then on ya go sonny
Funny thing. Italian policemen seem to do it all the time. Anything interesting, car, bike, trike, probably traction engines. They are just interested and nice about it.
Yeah most uk police are good…never had bad exp with them…even if they have personal opinion they dont bring it to the job…very professional…my friend said it takes 34 different test to become a copper…only few police women have been lippy and bossy to me…
