Pulled by the Fuzz.

sum up: Got pulled over by police, £30 fine.

the story goes as follows:

Coming up on the long road to Semington roundabout past the funeral burning place.
I get to the roundabout, see a copper on a bike and gave him a little nod and then existed the r-about. Did not pull away too fast cos of the removel of my bafle, Carried on up the roda towards Trowbridge then a bike appears in my right mirror.No worrys, no worries, ahh crap blue lights came on. Instantly pulled over into layby, turned engine off, took helment off plus facemask. He said that my plate was ilegal and had no reflector on back end and that my tires were past min treat. At this point i got defensive in a nice way and was like "officter, i have literally just come back from bike garage to have bike booked in to get front and rear tire changed, ring them by all means and ull see that a Mr "" "" is booked in at 2pm." He believed me(was the truth anywayz) and then just said "i could give you 3 points per tire and £30 per tire but i can see that u noticed a problem and was getting fixed." He then gave me a ticket for a £30 fine and then a piece of paper saying i have to get tire changed and reflector put on bike and get the garage to stamp it.

Unsure to who will read all of that but hey thought it was funny.

Well you did all the right things so it does seem a bit unnecessary to have given you anything apart from a retification notice.

The only consolation is it could have been worse if he'd have been a jobsworth or if you had acted differently towards him.

So he didn't do you for the plate, just no reflector, and no comment on the baffleless can either?

he said he pulled me over due to how small my plate was and that it didnt meet legal size, lettering standerds etc. but on the documentation he did not mention this. just put tire and reflector.

ether way he was actually a nice copper, he was just doing his job.

Ca I suggest then that you edit your 1st post and remove the phrase "pig on a bike" then?

**** does this go back to the nodding at bike coppers debate???

Was it daylight? If so the rear reflector thing is a load of ********.

To be fair he let you off with the tyres, it IS still an offence to be on the road with them he could have given you the points. I say he was rather nice to you!

In reference to the title, did it hurt?

I think I will get a reflector today on my shopping spree for a crush washer. No point in attracting attention. Glad you got off ok, I would rather get stoped by a biker cop than a trafic cop.
