 Posted: 14:32 - 03 Aug 2007 Post subject: So i was waiting for the swing bridge to close... |
 |

Picture the scene, just finished work. In full leathers and bike is sitting outside, shiny and looking the sex since you clean and polished her 2 days ago. Go round the one way system and see lots of traffic, soon relised the bridge is down.
So you filter to the front and turn the engine off. Helmet off and watch the boats go past. Bridge starts swinging close and you get ready to cain it on the empty road (30 limit but not residenal and not junctions were you can get pulled out).
Heres a google earth pic and roughly what happened.

Reach about 72 with the bike sounding so nice and hear someone, an ambulance maybe? no, a traffic copper. Move over in the vain hope its for an actual emergency but no, it for me. He must have been a few cars back and guess i was going to drag it and was waiting as i didn't see him at all.
Get the "can i have your license to send to the DVLA as you wont be needing it" routine and stuck with Stinkwheels approach (thanks stink!!) of "i wasnt looking at my speedo" when he kept saying "you were least twice over the limit". He kept saying it and each time just say i wasnt sure what speed my progress was.
I was 90% sure it was going to be just a bollocking but still shat myself. Got a lecture about how I'm more likely to die than other people.
But then, the bit that really got me was he started saying "well with a bike that looks like that i guess you dont want people to see you" . So i ask if he just doesn't like quality British made bikes and he start on the colour. I then asked what he rode and he said "nothing". What a pussy
THEN, he says "well if your going to pull away fast you could at least do it fast". So i go with the "but officer its 33bhp, how can i?"
He went the same way as me and got this really cool photo

Keeping the bike restricted is paying off then.
They don't need proof, courts will accept a cops word as to what you were doing. |

A better picture would have been of him giving you the chase, with handcuffs at the ready; though I can understand why you went for the more boring version  |
