I saw a dark BMW (possibly GS) with 'POLITE' written in White vinyl letters on the front of the fairing under the screen earlier.

I can only assume that it was supposed to look like 'Police' (-although it would appear backwards in rear-view mirrors...)

I really can't understand the logic or mentality of doing that to your bike. It is just weird.

Manchester area

Nor me - I dare say the owner of said bike giggles about it to himself

In Crewe, there is a big blue banner saying "POLITE" and it works. Makes you look twice. Turns out it is an advert for a banner printing company. Laughing

Theres a bloke currently riding a pan on my commute with the high vis vest and white helmet.

Had a crack about it with the other bikers and it seems were all queing up to call him an utter cock when we bump into him.

Anyone has the right to ride whatever they want but deliberately trying to look like her majestys 'finest' is a shit crack all round in my book!

He's based around Dartford sort of way, isn't he? I've seen him, tailgating Volvos like a twat. I keep hoping that one'll brake hard at him.

Well, if it is the same guy, then I can promise you that he's nice and conspicuous.
