Police officer browbeats a biker into doing speed awareness

[krarkol]

I got an S59 for a similar thing last November.

They saw me accelerate around a corner from a set of lights that had just changed. Now my bike is loud and the bandit tops out at 40 in first and I change gear pretty late, so I admit it would have been screaming a bit.

Copper tells me to "get the fuck off the bike now" and starts ranting at how he had to do 80mph. I argue back saying just because he did 80mph doesn't mean I was. He then rants back stating that he felt uncomfortable doing that kind of speed in the area we were in, in his land rover

Got given an S59 and sent on my way. I was willing to argue the toss if it wasn't one, but as we all know, you can't just refuse to sign an S59

Just before the clip starts, that copper says "if they try tell us their wheelie was by accident, we know that can't happen"
I've gone over tiny brows in the road and the front on my bandit has lifted, unintentionally. I'm pretty sure on something like an R1 it can come up a whole lot easier!

What about something like the 1290? That thing sounds like it lifts the front for fun quite easily

Them bloody Mts will lift if you try and pull away into an NSL road with traffic. Yes I am a new biker and it would be an accident but one that could happen in front of plod. Innocently. But they won't see it that way they would see my young face and think yobbo straight from a moped.

Not bitter much about the fact that I got a 59 for being in a convoy many a year ago
