Anyone notice the sidestand on the Bike (Honda I think) turning into the lubberly little cafe on the way to brid - the bit where they were showing off the busa? I'm sure it was down as he cam up, then flicked up as he tipped it in.

yep, i reckon the camera crew asked a couple of riders to perform the set piece for the camera, and they were so nervous they forgot to stick the stand up

Considering these programs get hefty government/police funding as to promote the image of the police, it scares me this is the best they can do.

???????????????????

We're all strapped for cash, no Chief Constable is going to authorise paying out money for TV shows.

isn't he on the wrong side of the road on a bend where he doesn't need to be on the wrong side of the road (i.e. no hedges or walls to obscure view)?

just being pedantic I guess

We can all edit in our favour eh?

Damned if they do etc etc etc .....

Usually I stick up for the traffic police, my dad was one for a start, and he talked a lot of sense.... those ones concidering they are all bikers (you have to be A1 class in car and bike to be a traffic policeman) were sturring up a lot of hatred for us.

And to be on the wrong side of the road isnt driving without due care and attention, or no one would overtake.
You may cross lines to maintain a view, not gain a view.
