copper on a bike forum - having the piss ripped is inevitable.

think i might join a traffic cops forum and see how they treat me.....

[sixth_gear]

Yep, bike is supplied free, but has to be given back at the end of the biking season. It wont be used for anything other that a PR tool at bike meets, so dont expect it in mirror with blue lights on. Unless you ride like a knob that is. 

This was the most appropriate smiley I could find

so who pays for all the stuff thats been done to it then . it dident come in that colour scheme from ducati did it. then there's the labor and so no and so on ....
cause its all for free is-ant it   funny that if the money comes from the public coffers the people using it all seem to think its free    

and as for riding like a knob .....errrrr  cause the police don't do nothing wrong and all ride/drive like saints don't they  


and This was the most appropriate smiley that i could find ......

Not going to get sucked into an arguement with you (I do enough of that on a daily basis), but I will say this......

The bike came from the Ducati dealer in white. The 'colours' are transfers which peel off. The bike is intended for Bikesafe events etc as mentioned and in my opinion will generate interest and possibly get a few people to sign up. This in turn may well improve the riding of however many people and possibly prevent a serious collosion.

I have nothing at all to do with the Roads Policing Unit so makes no difference if they have the bike or not. As a biker I think its a good idea if it may prevent some young chap on his new litre bike chucking himself down the road. My opinion and nobody elses.

We all ride bikes for a reason, but as with everything there is a time and a place. Some people just make bad decisions and then blame other people when they get caught. The one thing i'm not is hypocritical. If I were daft enough to pull a 3rd gear minger in front of a police car then i'd have nobody to blame but myself.

Anyway, said my bit. You seemto be a little down on the fuzz. Maybe its because we steal your tax money and spend it on superbikes to razz around on in the summer and give you tickets for your loud cans and visors. When really we should be out there catching real criminals.

roy, its all good mate dont forget when hes done with and it goes back to the shop u will get the chance to buy it at a stoopid price!!!
i once bought a 1050 tiger that was ex bike safe and paid a lot less and it still had some livery on it!!

[Chrisblack10r]

fair play it does make me laugh when people think that because they speed and get caught that the "coppers should be out catching real criminals"

well think about this, the LAW states the speed limit is what it is, if you speed and get caught, its no-one elses fault other than yours for twisting your right hand or pressing your right foot and going as fast as you do

so you have broken the law and are now a criminal

if you dont like it then don't speed or wind your necks in

rant over  

[Nutz]

Bikesafe is tops, I am gonna do a few more this summer, I mean chasing coppers around all day and they even by you Frankies and Bennies, personally I like bike coppers, you get some moody ones but most of them are fine, unless they stitch you up...................................then that's another matter.

Ive been watching this thread since it started, telling myself "Dont get involved!" but fuck it, im  gonna have my rant!

Theres no point giving superbikes to the old bill cos none of them can ride worth a shit and you cant nerf a Saxo off the road with a Ducati.
As for the argument about if you exceed speed limits, you ARE a criminal, hands up anyone on this site who isnt a criminal! Anyone?
Im sure the majority of us have done 150+ on public roads. Do you feel that you are a menace to society and should go to prison for it?
Theres a little chavvy twat in this area who has just been sent to prison on his 20th offence. Numerous asbos etc, proper little pain in the fucking arse but the legal system left him to roam free 'til he beat some poor bastard half to death. If only he had been caught speeding he would have been sent straight to jail, do not pass go, get ass raped in the showers.
Where is the justice and logic in our legal system?
I know there will be a lot of coppers out there who will argue that "we dont make the laws, we just uphold them". Well, you are the grass roots of the system, have the balls to stand up and say "this isnt right, it should be changed".
Rant over (for now) and, breathe!
