It's quite impressive they actually do that. My last 'safety check' included fining me for an exhaust and nothing else.

OK, my first ever pull from plod was in a cage when I was 17.
I had a car but no licence, easter monday bike racing on at Oulton so a mate with a licence sits in the passenger seat and bro and mate in the back. Going through Warrington (on L plates so no motorway), I pick up a copper behind and my brother keeps looking behind and telling me what I could see in the mirror, yes he is still behind us. Next thing on come his blues and I pull over. what have I done? Nothing but as your mate in the back keeps turning round to look at me there has to be a reason. So I get a producer and so does the lad in the passenger seat. He thinks it is a joke, sets fire to it and gets done for failing to produce his licence. I get home, get out my docs. V5, provisional licence, insurance certificate, MOT - Oh feck. So a quick phone call, nip out to pick up my new MOT certificate and off to produce. Plod is a bit suspicious, pulled easter monday, MOT dated the saturday. I explain I had to use the car that monday so got it MOTed especially. Result on my way and a years MOT for a phone call.

To save me reviewing the thread, has anyone mentioned being harrassed by the annoying do-gooder crooner Gordon Sumner and his cronies?

Ah, didnt think of that. Just found it odd that he spent quite a bit of time looking at the engine and only glanced at the exhaust.
Would the engine/frame numbers etc show on the police system when they check your reg then? Last edited by SAMMY650; 05-08-09 at 08:14 PM. |

I might also add that all the engine/frame numbers on my bike are for my bike lol
![]() Is it true that even when buying from a dealership you should be checking all the numbers are legit? |

Yep, Engine and frame numbers come up when they do a PNC check on your reg number. Generally very easy to check on a bike so any copper worth their salt should be passing an eye over them.
