For once a nice bike cop

[Gassick]

Going back when the hume hwy used to go through the guts of Benalla I was pulled over late one night for speeding right through the place doing 100+ kph in a Suzuki Sierra soft top. There were 2 coppers, one writing out the ticket at my window and the other shining a torch into the car trying to see in through the dirty scratched plastic windows. The cop with the torch started at the front and walked his way around the car checking the rego sticker and walked his way to the back and then back next his mate giving me the ticket. While he was standing there he shone the torch in the window directly behind me and the light went straight into the eyes of BEAR,my pure black 50kg Belgium Sheppard that lunged straight at the window. It frightened the absolute crap out of the copper with the torch who leaped into the middle of the hume hwy going FAARRRKKK! The other copper tore off the ticket gave it to me and said on your way and slow down. I got to my destination and the next day I got a cheque and paid the fine. About 4 weeks later I got a letter with my cheque saying there was no record for this infringement, anyway I checked all the paperwork out and realised that the copper who wrote out the ticket who was just as shaken as the other one tore off all 3 copies from his pad. What gives me goose bumps when I think about this is how busy the hume is and when the copper leaped back in fear he could have jumped straight into the path of truck car or anything. Needless to say, smiled for a while after that and thinking about it again now I have a smile with a touch of the goose-bumps!!!!!
