Close One.....

Post by KEL10R »

Went for a mid week ride today, up from Raymond Terrace to Seaforth,Clarence Town and onto Bucketts Way heading up to Gloucester, i was not going as hard as Casey Stoner but i wasn't mucking around either, coming around a left hand bend before the Allworth Rd turnoff and theres a copper,red and blues flashing,brakes going on,hand out window raised telling me to stop, my hand had already grabbed the brake , a brief look down and the speedo showed 161 (i think this is an 80 zone), part of me thought just give em a high five and keep going...no kept the brake on,mind thinking through possible excuses. Copper reverses the car 20 odd meters to where i have stopped on the side of the road, lift my visor waiting for the attitude, wry smile on the coppers face and a look in his eye telling me he knew exactly what i was doing, then he says " Just stay there mate,got a large truck coming up ahead "," No worries mate" i reply..not believing what he has just said,he has an even bigger smirk now,must of read me like a book, and off he goes, F2ck that was close is all i'm thinking as the truck with mining equipment cruzes past, lucky he was busy on scout duty :kuda: Any one else had a close one lately??
