Sorry I didn't see your original words pointing out the embarrassment factor. We all know the difference between stock (sowing machine) pipes and decent after market pipes (great warning for anyone in front) I think the first things a lot of us do is take the stock pipes off, myself included.
I once sat beside a Police car waiting for him to move away from a red light before I even thought about moving myself. The copper sat and grinned at ,me saying "you'll have to go sooner or later mate!", I had just put a 4 into 1 yosh with a TRS can on.
A mate who works traffic told me that they (Bike Coppers) aren't interested in us, more in the excrusciatingly loud fart noises the Hardleys put out. If they ever come looking for us for the little modifications we make - we'll be well and truly f****d, no doubt!
A little common sense seems to keep them away from us most of the time. Your situation certainly looked like bikes were being targeted that day.
You've got him beaten with the hugger, no such thing as a Hayabusa with a hugger standard equipment.
There are pigs mate, not doubt in that as well. Every workplace has people just like old mate trying to make himself look important while sticking the boot into you. He will always look a twit, while you don't have to. Wear the crap that you had coming, argue for truth in what is defensible and ignore the bullshit.
Regards.
