Yes off you go sir. Thank you Ociffer

Went out Friday night on the town with £7, walked into Casino it went down to £4.60, so there i was, able to stay at my mates(who i left my bike at securely) and therefore able to drink my night away on £4.60

Oh yer my mate was broke too so the £4.60 stretched for both of us.

So as you can imagine, bit peeved off. We'd had a beer at his and had a few more in his fridge buttttt, you cant take your own alcohol to drink on the streets in town So we ended up having a half each. Went back to his about 2, i felt fine and said, you know i might aswell go home.

Put all me kit on, tootle off back home, coming across a roundabout by St James retail park and out of the corner of my eye I see a Police car on the exit next to me, decided to hammer it over the bridge as the view drops away from the roundabout to the next one. Anyway as i get to the next roundabout i think sod it, I've not got anything illegal about me or on me or the bike, so i slow right down and keep to the speeds, sure enough they catch up and sit on me for quarter of a mile then on come the lights arm out the window signals pull over.

"Evening Sir, can you take my helmet, we're stopping you for a routine check. Do you have your licence, insurance docs etc on you?" Handed them over and to hand i also had me restrictor docs on me, sure enough, "i notice your on a restricted licence also, do you have the relevant docs on you?" Handed it over, happy days, "is that all then?", "no sir could you quickly do a breath test for us please, have you been drinking?", to his amazement i said yer, he said "how many", just the one i said. Anyways took the test came out all good but was close according to him. So all was good, bid them goodnight and pootled off.

Purpose of this post is to show that they are:
1) Still quite very on the ball
2) On the ball with restrictor and licence checkings!

I suppose if I had've said no i may have had to take the bike somewhere for it to be tested on a dyno or whatever they do and show that with a producer.

hello mate hows you is that a new bike i see you four pot trator

I'm good son and indeed mate, see here for new bike

If im gonna drive/ride I dont drink at all.

You were very lucky Plowsie.......imagine what could have happened!!! It doesnt bear thinking about.....

Glad it all worked out though.

You know what annoys me about a routine stop? Why they ask to see your docs? Bloody tax/ insurance / MOT is the damn computer and they can check it before they even stop you. The only thing they need to see is your license to verify you qualified and are the person insured. If you do not have the docs with you they give a producer!Why when they can check the bloody computer?

[/rant over]

Bet you glad you all legal though dude, real nice to 'do business' with the police when you you got all correct docs and bike.

Me neither, if I did then they'd probably have got wet/covered in oil or something by now.
