just read this and made me smile.............
Youre on a super sports bike in custom race colours with a tasty pipe and youre dressed like a technicolour parody of a MotoGP front runner. As you pass through the next village, you may as well punch an old lady in the face and piss on a traffic cops' shoes. The more neutral your bike and your colours the better your chances of looking innocent on a bike.
mmm innocent, not sure I can pull that one off although I did get away with a telling off last time. I really think they leave you alone if you are wearing high viz.
Julie's right. Stick on a yellow jacket and the Gestapo don't look twice lol.
I did a safety audit near Hull late last year which I went to on the bike. Large white and red bike, black leathers and hi viz jacket and even the copper who attended thought I was a bike cop at first lol!
Hehe,.. dunno about innocent, but a part marked up ST13 or BMW works wonders if you don't see the fun polizei in time, they usually don't even bother lookin thru the lazer/speed zapper thingy .
I got FJR (same as my local cops now have), orange bib and white helmet
nae hassles from anyone lol
Trouble is I pulled up to bike cops the other day and he went oh so it's you... your park your bike at ****, don't think I can hide then lol
no no no....the way to do it is learn the correct moment to unzip your jacket after they have pulled you over ....oh and obviously what you wear underneath the "power rangers" suit! that way innocence is the last thing on their minds! but i am still ticketless! lol lol
when i walk into my local in hi viz jacket, they all start lookin shifty and beg me to take it off no probs overtakin when out ...a lot of folks pull over cus they think your the law
