Moby number sent back hun! See you at the quay for a burger or a hog roast bun sometime!
][]Unlucky Levi! Better luck next time! For future reference, DO NOT HESITATE!! The only time hesitation will save you is when pulling out to over take…obviously you don’t pull out until you are 100% sure the road ahead is clear! Once you have decided upon a course of action on the road, act upon it!!

We got the proper bolt and gasket fitted now we also put locktight on it, so it cant work lose again!. Daves having braided hoses fitted on Tuesday!I’m hoping to get another couple of runs down there this year, i won’t be there next tues, i’m not getting the bike back in time! But for future ref, I’m 5’4″ not much hair on me bonce and in black/grey/silver IXON leathers on a purple ZXR400. Usually parked opposite the kioskson the road leading away from the quay. I’ll Pm ya next time i go (if i remember, it’s usually a last-minute.com kind of affair for me).
I saw a model of a ferrari 512 on Tv a couple of years ago. It was something like a 1/10 scale with a working flat 12!!!! it even sounded like the real deal![:0]
Thanks ID!! The bikes being brought back up here tomorrow and taken straight down to DWR in Aylesbury. Hopefully i’ll have it back in working order by saturday!
b****cks! I wish i’d known you were going! I was there last night too! My bloody throttle cable snapped on the way home! Stuck by the side of the A31 for 2 1/2 hrs is not much fun! Then had drive myself in the hire car the recovery peeps gave me…a F**king Renault clio! needless to say that got thrashed to within an inch of it’s life! Got home at 4am.
Oh and by the way, I forgot to metion that he was no spring chicken fresh from the police academy, infact he looked like one of those jobsworths that had been passed over for promotion for the past 20 years!!

Originally posted by imperialdataSorry to hear that. Attitude is everything really, gets people to say things they don’t want to say out loud. That’s why I mentioned the phrase ‘good policing’, it’s far too easy to make up the numbers (ie targets) on the fines and doc producing.
Never a truer word said I.D.!!
Appology accepted. To be treated as Gix was today is no joking matter. it is not something to made light of. I have been treated in the exact same way and one example sticks in my mind because:
A) The copper was genuinly inept
He showed nothing but a lack of consideration for me, my family or our friends who were travelling in the car in front of us.
C) He couldn’t lower himself of his high and mighty horse for 30 seconds and appologise for what he’d done. I personnaly wanted his warrant card for what he did!It happened on bonfire night last year, we were on our way back from a cracking day out in Santa pod, drag racing, monster trucks, a bonfire and firework etc etc. Roads were a bit damp but nothing to be worried about because we both had cars with 4WD, ABS, traction control and GOOD tyres. (Me with a mondeo Si 4×4 friends with a scooby) Coming through Buckingham, we were playing on the roundabouts, nothing stupid, dangerous or illegal. NO speed limits were broken. we clear Buckingham and he’s RIGHT on my ASS, no more than a cars length behind, dangerous and illegal, in the rain in a vauxhall astra 1.7 diesel on 175 firestone tyres (tyres so bad they have been banned in the states after it was proved the were soley responsable for killing 80 people in less than 5 years. Anyway, i’m on the last roundabout BEFORE a section of DUAL CARRIGEWAY and the brain death OVER TAKES me on the roundabout and promtly looses it. If my awareness had been of a “normal” standard (i drive EVERYTHING from bikes to 44 tonne articulated trucks so my road awareness is somewhat developed), me, my wife and daughter would have been hit by the f**king moron. We get onto the dual section and off he goes as fast as the piece of crap will go. He’s radio’d ahead and called in a van. We get back onto a dark (it was about 10 pm)section of twisties, the scooby in front, followed closely by the moron with me behind. The van comes along on our side of the road with all lights on, blinds Karen who was drving the scooby, scares the life out of her kids and stops her. They do a PNC check that comes back wrong even though the cars reg’d to her & the plates were all correct. While they’re going through the motions of making themselves look good i get out after putting my hazards on because the muppet who almost killed us didn’t put his rear flashers on and approach one of his buddies and ask who was driving the astra. He says he’ll send the driver over. So the van goes, Karen and her family go and thie moron comes over with his chest puffed out and his shoulders back. “here we go” i thought. I asked why he’d been right up my arse in Buckingham, his reply: “because you were playing” ok can’t deny we were playing but that still does not excuse tail gating. I then ask why he’d overtaken us and almost caused an accident on the roundabout…his reply: “oh i lost it”. I just said ok thanks and drove off. I was F**KING livid! I should have pushed for his warrant card! I left it be because Karen and her other half put in a complaint and thought that they would do what i would have done. never mind eh? Anyway, you wonder why i got so pissed off earlier…there’s your answer. Good, decent coppers are becoming less and less these days. you need one good trait to be a good, honest copper, it’s called INTEGRITY!!!!!
Best one i heard of was the north yorks using an unmarked blackbird by Ripon on the A1. this is going back about 10 yrs now though.

When Carmy said they had got you I thought it was for speeding.
If you look at the times posted you and I was replying at the same time, literally within seconds of each other.
Sorry.I am gonna piss myself laughing the day you get your first FP Levi. It’s gonna be entertaining to see how you feel about being messed around by some incompetant F**kwit who calls himself a copper! It’s a tad more than annoying when get a FP slapped in your face. I’ve expreienced it on more than a few occasions. (5 x SP30 & 1x SP10) Please do me a favour and engage the grey matter before spouting off in future! Thanks.
