im fucked, every night and day something gives me grief, i still ride my pushbikes, and still ride my enduro bikes but pay for it..the welsh traffic cops are crooks, nothing good to say about them, robbing crooked wankers...tried fucking me over, anti motorbike, smug little 5 foot dwarf who new everything, i hope he dies a long and slow death.. kind of what i think of the cop who tried to screw me...
 
even visited me in hospital and told me he had highly detailed grahic footage of the crash which he believed i was speeding, he tried to get me to admit guilt, my reply was good it will show im innocent, after a few months i asked the copper where the cctv evidence was, his reply was i dont know what your on about, the reason he believes i was speeding was because where i hit the guy i stopped around 30 metres down the road (it was on a blind bend goijng down a hill) now if the lazy twat had talked to a witness or took any kind of measurments he would have realsed that i traveled so far as i wasnt knocked off my bike, and was going onto the dual carriage way unconsious, i actually proved that in court as i showed pictures of the bike with damage to the one side, i explained that it came to a stop and fell to one side, thats why it was damage only to one side, if i had had crashed where the coppers said the bike would have been in nuts and bolts..

I like the idea of having a camera back and front ... would also catch out the insurance crooks that purposely drive with a car full of people, stick their brakes on at a random unexpected point in front of you hoping that you'll tail end em and they can all claim for whiplash injurys ... blaming you, of course you're on your own in the van, they have a car full of witnesses ...feck, feck, feck !!!

I had an experience with a lying crooked copper years ago , i really try to have faith that that sort of behavior has stopped these days but sadly i guess there will always be human nature working against professionalism.

Hi Fozzy
 
I ride bikes with engines, the bigger the better but I know the bigger they are the more it will hurt.
 
Stay in the centre, buy good and expensive leathers, helmet, boots and gloves.
 
All plod are jealous that they cannot afford what you are riding so resent you for being able to afford to ride.
 
You must realise all cops are no longer road safety, crime detection and prevention but the new under cover inland revenue service!
 
I prefer the tax and vat man, at least they are honest they want your money. The other buggers are smug, self serving, and want to give you a lecture before robbing you.
 
Even the scum bag bankers rate higher than them.
 
Example, on the main road from Belfast to Londonderry/Derry (gotta be careful what you call this city people get upset) you pass through a small village Dungiven.
 
A one horse town, the head stick out one end and the tail the other.
 
Do they put the wagon on the way into town before the school, main street, chapel? No that would insure the drivers slow down from 60 - 30. Thats not what they are there for!
 
Instead they perch the and I am sorry to say this a VW Transporter aginist a wall with the wing mirror hanging out over the road on the exit of the bridge on one lane each way at the bottom of a hill to get you gathering an extra 1 -2 mph before you exit the village 30mph.
 
If you are in a van and something is coming the other way, you either remove their wing mirror, or stop and wait to get around.
 
Before this there is no doors, building were peds would come from.
 
A prize example of the Parasitic Service of Northern Ireland (Police Service of Northern Ireland).
This main road is a 2 hour nightmare of passing but to increase funds they have slapped chervons everywhere, double white so if you get a 20mph coffin dodger you are stuck for miles till you get a passing lane.
 
When you do you can bet you bottom dollar the wagon is sitting at the end incase you go over by a small amount.
 
Net result you get crazies launching past other through cross road, tee junctions.
 
But hey all this paint and wagons have only resulted in more mad over takes.
 
Rant over, need a cuppa!Cool
 
You then have a long gradual up hill climb out of the village.

Yeah the cyclist was at fault if what you're saying is true, but there no need for the "Splat!" comment and the clapping smilie. Someone just died, albeit in Darwinian circumstances.

Works both ways too. I wear a camera on my bike helmet and has proven incredibly useful after I was DELIBERATELY taken out by a motorist who turned his vehicle into me. All caught clearly on camera and completely reinforced the statements given by the two following vehicles, either or who knew I had a camera.
