Summer Police Initiative - SV650.org

Just saw this on the front page of the wee free paper we get through the doors:

Operation Drayton aims to educate bikers and keeping them safe. it is NOT about targeting them (but obviously if we see anyone riding in an anti-social manner they will be dealt with...)

They will be on the A84 Callander, A85 Crianlarich and A82 Tyndrum roads to speak with bikers for the next 6 months.

yup. they do this every year... fekin azzwipes.. i don't want to stop and be pestered about how to ride my bike thanks.

And they wont really be on those roads with their hairdryers pointed at you

Though to be honest, with the reduced numbers they can only be in one place at a time

and the reduced number of bikers overall tbh.

P.S. Load of rubbish about 'warnings' when the weather was peachy 3 weeks ago they were out with the gun in crianlarich. Maybe they've realised that everyone gives each other a shout further up the road so you dont get caught & the numbers aint adding up because of it.

If they cant catch you speeding they've now decided to stop you and check out your bikes legit with the cover of 'being helpful'

Maybe im just paranoid!

if they want to help bikers stay safe then they should be educating the card drivers about the vulnerability of bikes.

I've only seen them do something like this once, at the Green Welly, they were just handing out free ear plugs and little maps of good roads in the area.

But then, I'm of low interest to them, bog standard bike and I ride like a girl... (until I'm out of their sight as SV4ME will testify to...)

6 people killed since 2006? How many killed horse riding in that time? Falling down stairs?

Oh well, it won't hurt to be polite...

i agree with you there. it would be better for the officers to take the time to stop cars and remind them to be more alert to bikes on the roads.
