    "Braved" a ride out into hostile territory today on the K12GT, but mindful
    Brunstroms bully boys would be out in force I stuck rigorously to all limits
    (fuel computer reckons the range is 330 miles at those speeds!!)

    The camera vans and individual cars & bikes were all over the place.

    However, just by Rhug coffee stop they'd stopped en masse to start pulling
    almost everyone that came down the A5 on a bike.

    So "now" I know why you can never find a copper when you need one :)

    Would there not be an argument for prejudice or harassment?
    I thought that the plod had to have a reason to stop you? But probably not,
    as their rules seem to change quicker than the weather!

    Meanwhile, in the civilised south, I had to pull over because of blue
    flashing lights. It was an ambiwlans making its way through traffic on the
    A40 at Crickhowell.

    Total number of Heddlu seen: zilch.

    Perhaps it's more worrying when you don't see them :)

    I was thinking that, but what good would it do? Oh, and you'd probably
    be nicked as a terrorist. :-/

    Probably, but this is getting out of hand now. Surely this **** can be shown
    as victimising one group of people. If he issued orders to pull over all
    Black people I wonder how long the **** would last.

    Film it & go to some sensationalist newspaper or news channel.

    Problem is, the mainstream media seems fully committed to all this
    "Speed kills" and "Bikers are evil" bollocks. Nobody in charge of any of
    the larger papers seems to have the balls or commitment to put their
    neck on the line and make a stand.

    It's the same with the environment, everyone knows that the gubbermint
    is just milking everyone and using the environment excuse as a giant
    cash cow, but every time someone stands up and says so there are a load
    of scientists who don't get their grants if they agree, so they all keep
    schtum and it goes on and on.

    Thing is, where do you start? Media won't help, politicians definately
    won't help, and Mr and Mrs Average have been brainwashed anyway.

    I'm going to have a word with a mate of mine who's an Inspector in the
    Police & he's a top bloke. I wonder what is coming down from the top about
    bikes.

    TBF, I had the roadside 5-minute speed awareness course the other night.
    Big shiny BMW station wagon, pleasant older bloke on his own, we chatted
    about the finer points of full-throttle overtakes in 40 limits and how he
    enjoyed his Gixxer in safe and appropriate conditions. One of Brunstrom's
    lot could have had me on the bus.

    Well, I had an *off* *duty* traffic policeofficer report and send me
    an NIP because he viewed my riding as inappropriate - on Snorky FFS.

    Following discussions with the CPS they withdrew it as they were
    unlikely to secure a conviction.

    Cunts, all of them.

    ....don't get me on the last two protests I went on.

  20. The bike-hating cunts who live in the area and have the ear of the ****
    in charge of the polis, is plenty enough reason.
