I have a good idea who he is. belongs to my IAM group,
he is harmless, he just likes the look of being one.

he is a good chap, as he does the blood runner thing etc.

Tbh, its a tall bike and he is quite short!

IAM- is not as difficult to get as you may think, its more about road position and speed limits than absolute confidence.

Well if it's him I'm very surprised Dan mistook him for police. His bike (Pan Euro) & clothing does not say Police anywhere on it.

& I thought with him, it was just a visibility thing rather than an impersonation thing?

not always true i've found. when we did our bike safe day the coppers therer were saying they had a couple of bikes older than that in their fleet (one of them being there on the day). it all depends how much money the force has i think.

this bloke however doesn't sound like a police standard rider, i don't any of them are bad enough to have off days like that.

To be honest, despite looking like a flourescent day-glo lollypop lady on a bright red (ok, muddy salt encrusted rust coloured) bike with headlights on, apparently I'm still completely feckin invisible.

If I could get hold a white Pan, a white lid and some flashy lights and siren - well, it's the only thing I haven't tried yet.

I've got a matt black bike, black jacket, black lid, cammo pants. I'm fairly sure car drivers would still be retarded if I was dressed like a tw4t too lol
