Wicked campervan on my right, blue/silver toyato aurion on my left with a thick antenna and two burley looking blokes in casual clothes.I wasn't as lucky mate, was at the Police College last week for a 5 day course. 4 traffic blokes there doing their 1st aid or some such. Guess who got told "remove the spikes or we take you off the road by the traffic Sergeant!"
Uh oh i thought... could be an unmarked cop car, and here's me sitting next to them with my 15mm spikes around the nose cone collar. I take off slowly and pull in front of the campervan, aurion changes lanes.... i'm carefull to stick to the speed limit and not doing silly... for 5 k's i change lanes a couple of times (indicating for 5 secs first), each time aurion does the same....
I thought f*** just get it over and done with, pull me over, tell me off and let me be on my way...
Anyway just happened to ride past the police station and guess who pulls in?.. Yep the aurion, so obviously they had better things to do than to pull me over.... Phew!!!
Peace and happy riding

And they wonder why they get called "Concrete Heads!" Good for nothing else.
