NSW Highway Patrol Warning

Post by Gunna »

Hi Guys

I was speaking to a Gosford HighwayPatrol Motorcycle Cop today and he has said over the next 6 weeks, the Old Road, the Putty and a number of other popular roads where Motorcycles congregate will be targeted.

Please watch your Speed and ride carefully.

On the front page of the local rag was a picture of the cops telling all about those naughty motorcyclists and they have got $750K to spend on enforcement and will now be patrolling for quite some time to come.
They claim to have given up a pursuit on 3 guys after speeds hit what they claimed was over 250kph.

Looks like we need to find somewhere else to ride.

I nearly got caught but I used a speeding HSV to sheild me from the gun. Too bad my mate didn't as he overtook us and got clocked at 174Km/h with 6 months lost of license and $1684 fine. I think because he was riding a Fireblade not a Ninja. Maybe, in some sort of twisted way you could think like this.

:wink:

THIS IS SERIOUS PEOPLE, the old road may be a no go zone!! :cry:

I went up there on Sat morning for a belt and passed 3 speed traps and a million people flashing their lights at me on my way the RW. I remembered thanking Gunna under my helmet for the warning. Speaking to some riders there they said they have never seen such a massive blitz, and heaps of people had been caught out speeding and copped tickets. One guy had copped a ticket for doing 67 in a 60 zone, now how easy is it to creep up to 65+ unintentionally...

It seriously looks like we may need to find a new place to ride because they will have heaps of speed traps set up in the future, due to obviously being one of the easiest places to win revenue and stick it up us bikers, that and the 60k speed limit that is near impossible to stick to. Its a license to print money.

I am currently investigating new rides to be had around Sydney, I suggest we all do the same and stay away for a while.

Cheers Hoff

hmm, now if your mate got done doing 174kph in a 60 zone (or was it the 80 zone) and he copped a fine and 6 months loss of licence, why is 87ninja being threatened with 2 year suspension, jail or home detention for the same.??
Strange how these things work...
