you mean..



yes I had a chat with him after this old fellow.

asked him about the size of my nuber plate, he said "I wouldn't pull you for that, it's the one liners and the really small ones that take the **** , oh and you have no rear reflector but I didn't see that, since your being so honest."
nice chap.

They had set a speed trap up on the way up the hill too.
But tbh I as mostly legal all day. Me new bike means you dont need to chase the big numbers to have a laugh.

He is a good sort that policeman

once chased him down on the alston to brampton road (he wasn't wearing the bib) and he was ever so slightly over the limit himself.

pulled over in hallbankgate and had a really nice chat comments like you were going well there and not too mental stick in my mind.

just glad he hadn't seen me 10 mins earlier LOL

+1,
I said to him that he had the best job in the world... He replyed "No... Its the clean up after someones had an off, as long as people donot ride like male chickens, and as long as you not too stupid, then have a great days riding."

There was a huge group of "male chickens" leaving hartside just before me. Revving their bikes on race pipes mainly to wind the copper up i thought. Seemed uncalled for as he'd turned a blind eye to everything and not pulled me for having no tax on display.
