I got booked by him a week ago on the Westgate Freeway. He was towing it on a flash fold down ramp trailer behind an unmarked 4wd. I passed him but didn't notice it was a cop bike on the back. Pulled up at the lights at the end of an exit ramp. He pulled up casually in traffic about 5 cars behind and walked up to me. I saw him in my mirror and had that pathetic hope of "maybe it isn't me". Of course it was me.......He asked for my license.
I pulled over a bit further along the road and the dance began
"any reason for speeding mate?" is there actually an answer that would get you off the hook?
I had a good look while he took my details. "Nice bike Blue" says I, in the hope that we could share some sort of KTM kindred spirit brotherhood thing and get some mercy. I think it worked. He waved me off with "Your lucky mate,I reckon you were doing at least 130-140, we both know you should be walking home"(lil' ol' me? I do not condone speeding but we all must exorcise our demons on occasion) 120kph in a 100 zone. 298 bucks and 3 points awwwwww.
So yes I was booked on a high performance motorcycle by a fat dude towing a trailer , no lights no sirens, who actually walked (very casually I might add) the last 20 or so meters.
Yay me and my dare devil baddass police chase
(new laws in Victoria allow police to confiscate vehicles detected at excessive speeds or dangerous behaviour)
