Thank you HWP

This is not a HWP bashing thread, complete opposite. Yesterday I went for a 600+klm loop to Rlystone and back via the Putty and Bylong road. Left home at 6.30am so I could be back before 3.
Heading back along Bells line around 1.30pm I am in the 80klm section just coming up to Bellbird Hill where it drops back to 60klm/h when HWP goes the other way, I am exceeding the speed limit (had bee going up to 20+ over on Bells coming back and was just buttoning off) I see the HWP think too late I am screwed, I see him brake and figure he is turning round. Looked to pull over rather then make him chase but nowhere safe, figure will pull over at the grass carts on Kurrajong hill. Didn't get that far as a truck was doing about 5klm/h when HWP comes back with lights and sirens, I acknowledge him and indicate to pull over. The car and truck in front however pull over right where I intended so I had to park on their arse. I get off the bike and take off the helmet and advise the car in front that he is most likely after me. HWP waves off car and truck and proceeds to walk towards me. I am getting my licence out when he says we are being recorded so anything I say will be on tape. Unfortunately he has to say it twice as I still had my ear plugs in. HWP advises that I have been pulled over for exceeding the speed limit. Asks if I have had anything to drink, well I had just stopped off in Lithgow for lunch and had a beer lunch as the bistro is not open on Mondays:cursing: Do the breath test no worries. We start to have a chat I acknowledge my speed and advise that I believed I was doing somewhere between 85 and 95 (figure no point lying now) he says I was probably doing more and if he had caught me about 500m back up the road he would have got me for more. I admit he is probably right (figure no point arguing).
At this point in the middle of our discussion where I am thinking how much is he going to do me for, a knuckle head shows up and starts saying I was this close (gesturing about 2 inches) to the centre line and how close he was to hitting me. I ask what are talking about as the officer advises him that he is handling it and he should go on his way. This knuckle head says "you know what I am talking about you were very close to the centre line and when I saw the police coming after you I turned around to let you know" At this point I think fuck you, I am standing next to a guy with a gun I might was well tell this pin head where to go. So I ask pin head was I over the centre line, silence is the reply I say well Constable dickhead if you hit me it was you who would have been over the centre line. As close as I may have been I was still on the side of the road". At this point the HWP after the third time of advising him to get back into his car says he you don't get back in your car I will come and see you next!
Anyway as he walks off the HWP says there is always one I said look mate I was waiting for you as I knew you were turning round if I could have pulled up earlier I would have, he said don't worry about him and look take it easy there is a blitz on etc, etc, however if you can wait until that other car goes before putting your helmet as I am walking back to my car to make it look like I am giving you a ticket so have a nice day! Too fucking right have a nice day and best wishes to sir.
HWP are like humans not all are bad.
