I wouldn't have stopped, son't know if you should have really, if challenged I'd simply say that I was making a sensible manouvre and that I thought he was flashing to warn me of danger ahead  :occasion14:

naaa never stop unless told too.......................did you say he was coming at you,if so how do you realy no that he wanted you.............its when they are behind you and flashing in your mirrors ......then its trouble ............best to pull over as soon as you see em from behind cus he will do you for not paying attenion as well.......................all ways try to get one eye on your mirrors when in a built up area its not easy on a ten as the mirrors arn`t the best.............. but keep a look out................................................

Sounds like he would have liked to pull you over then realised he was in a van   [rofl]

Bike V Van    Hmmmm


Copper on a power trip if you ask me.

Wouldn't have got your number either I don't think but they are very observant.  I wouldn't worry about it.

I wouldn't worry dave ... doesn't look like you did anything wrong .... Now if the real story went something like


I was on the back wheel at 80 down the white lines and this copper was flashing me to pull over so I stood up and one handed stuck my finger up at him then fooked off.....



then I think you may be in trouble  [rofl] [rofl] [rofl]
