Going for a Coffee - Melb

[the kid]

Real last minute decision . Going to get out and head to Acland Street for a coffee before it gets too hot . Just a bit of fresh air .
Anyone ? Be there in an hour . My mobile is 0416 284 054 .
Cheers

Coffee...... HTFU

[gigksrc]

always pays to ride with someone who is naughtier than you ...

Well that was fun .
Coffee and a pineapple and celery shake went well . Left Acland street with Gig (pineapple juice only) and cruised down to Brighton Kawa to try and catch up with Strika .
On the way had a motorcycle officer do a U turn behing me and follow behind . Was on Groggles 10 so keeping it at 60kph was very difficult .
Raised my visor at the next set of lights and said "Gday" which got me a gruff "Pull in to the servo" Bugger
Turns out they had a rego blitz on and another solo had another bike pulled over as well . Gig pulled in with us .
Another nice friendly "Gday" got "Got your license ?" Its always fun to tell them you haven't and even more fun to let them know that its not your bike
After the standard note taking and radio chat , he takes my photo ?? Whatever ? He started to have a bit of a laugh when i told him he should have allowed me a bit of time to do my hair . Let us know that they pick up stolen bikes when they do these checks and that Kawas are pretty popular with smash and grab theives who travel 2 up on a bike and one just jumps off and evidently they can very quickly get past Kawa's imobilizers and ride em away .
Was piss funny when he asked Gig for her license and had her proudly waving it in front of me , then he tells her its out of date . Priceless He was just having fun and the license was fine , but Gigs face
Off we go again and as Gig and I split up I have done a a "little" ride by while she is about to turn right . The economy meter on the 10 was showing around 14 kilometers to the litre and rolled off and pulled across the Hwy . That little flash of Fluro in the mirrors had me nervous .
Oh yes the dico lights and we pull up in the service lane .
"Gday" once again doesn't cut it and we get the standard "Got your licence ? " This has me unable to control a bit of a laugh as I explain , No license , Mates bike and I have been checked 15 minutes ago . " Yep I know " he says "Saw you back at the servo" " Was going to book your friend for doing an illegal right hand turn but you took off "
A fair bit of back and forth about staying in front of cars , etc and he is sick of that excuse etc You were well over 80 yadda yadda . You are both lucky today .
Hooray , and not even a radio check .
Ya can stick riding a 10 , no wonder they call them Crms

Sounds like a fun ride guys.....maybe if you stopped wearing the arseless leather chaps you wouldn't get so much attention from the cops, but I guess that will never happen
