If the boat story isn't about how they stopped you whilst you were riding your motorcycle, I'm not interested ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I've had Cars, Motorcyclists, and Foot. But foot doesn't count because I outran both of the slow unfit fucks and hid in an abandoned house until they lied that they had a dog unit and I didn't fancy getting my leg chewed up when it found me
Plus they caught my other two slow friends so I gave myself up out of loyalty to them lol.
Tangent: Nothing came of that anyway, we didn't know they were police so we legged it out of instinct. All we saw was two torches coming round a corner and "OI, STOP". We were fucking about in an abandoned area at night when we were about 17 and bored, and didn't realise we were trespassing. A concerned person called it in apparently when they spotted us moving around out there. |

actually, apart from the many times on the KMX125, hardly ever
got ticked off for speeding on a Honda CD200, and sent on my way
got really ticked off for no having a crash helmet on on a Honda CD200 at bicycle speeds in the back of beyond, by a lady cop, it was worse than being told off by my mum - and just given a producer
got the book thrown at me by a traffic cop for speeding on Honda CD200 - showing him a 15 minute old producer with the ink still wet when he asked if I had any id probably not the best idea
then nothing for about 20 years, stopped and a friendly warning about spilled diesel ahead
giving the wife a lift on the XR250 without passenger pegs - those kittens he resorted to looking my bike up on wikipedia on his smartphone, cos he was convinced it wasn't a road bike, jsmall fine
small number plate on the beta, let me off just said to get it fixed
and when I'm out green laning i get stopped occasionally, but they only want to know if I've seen xyz - usually looking for hare coursers |

Reading this thread about when coppers used to pull you over, I find myself reminiscing about "the good old days", when it wasn't just a case of impersonal and anonymous speed cameras resulting in nasty demands for money through the post.

Pulled over once when a teenager when in my crappy car (best up Austin Maestro!). Was heading home from then girlfriend's house in early hours of morn, bombing through down, roads dead not a soul anyway. Then blue lights appeared, yeah fair cop was going a bit quick and roads were a bit damp. Checked my license over, asked if I'd been drinking, didn't even breathalyse me, told me to slow down then sent me on way.
Second time, few years ago on Fazer ride out, all got pulled into layby for the whole BikeSafe promotion thing. Had a friendly chat, gave us all coffee and bacon butties and sent us on way. Fair play we thought. Then one copper followed us for about 5 mile before pulling one of us over for having a dirty number plate... Made him clean it and then sent us on way. WTF?! We'd just spent 20 minutes having coffee with 'um discussing and admiring our bikes - go figure! ____________________ Beginner Biker Adventures Blog

I shouldn't worry. It's one of those things that was a pain when it happened, but might be funny in retrospect. Just another cool story, bro. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I don't think I've ever been stopped unreasonably in nearly fifty years of driving and riding. Sometimes the attitude of the plod was a bit much to take, but I was generally in the wrong if I was stopped. The funniest one was when I was a lad in 1970 and was a student in London and I was riding my James 150cc two stroke home to Newcastle. For some insane reason, I couldn't sleep with teh excitement of this journey and so I got up at 11 o clock at night, unable to wait until morning and set off with a suitcase strapped on the back and started the 280 mile ride in the dark with a 6V direct lighting system. I was on L plates, so as I made my way up the A1 in teh dead of night, I had to divert off the A1M somewhere like Grantham or maybe Stevenage and find my way on the ordinary roads. Going through some built up area in the dead of night with a case loaded on the back, an old panda car - maybe a Hilman Imp, came up and blue lighted me and I stopped at the side of the road.
"What are you up to Laddy?" says one of the officers.
"I'm going home from college?" says I.
Plod looks at his watch.
"Working late at the library, were you?"
"No - it is the end of term and I am going home to Newcastle."
Look of amazement. It is after all about two o clock in the morning.
"What have you got in that case?"
"Dirty clothes and stuff".
At this, they insisted in seeing what was in the case so we untied it and started rummaging through a pile of old clothes and junk that I somehow needed in my life back then.
After this, they were quite solicitous for my wellbeing about riding in the dark hundreds of miles on a 5hp 1950s two stroke. They sent me on my way with warnings to take care and be safe.
It was a perfectly reasonable stop. I could easily have been a villain transporting the proceeds of a burglary back home.
I got home a little before ten in the morning. I must have been on the road for ten or eleven hours. My eyes felt like I had sand under the lids, but I felt like an explorer. ____________________ 2016 Triumph Street Twin; 2000 Honda CG125; 1997 Honda Nighthawk CB250 |
