Some Miserable Monkey Keeps Reporting Me For Speeding!!!
Early yesterday morning, The Police payed me a visit.
Not the band - the "Ommm! You're in Trouble" type.
He confirmed my name, and that I was the owner of my trusty steed, and then informed me that they had recieved several reports of me speeding!
Imagine my surprise?!
No - it looked more like this:
Of course, as it turned out, all of these were from the same person.
Apparently, they've said I was going "in excess of 60mph in a 40 zone" and "overtaking them".
No toad! I ride a -ing bike! The chances are I'm not going to sit in morning traffic behind some moody C-word in a car!
As you may suspect, this had not been confirmed with a speed gun, nor had any other evidence backing it up.
So it's either some Tithead with a grudge against me, or some miserable twatbag who's pissed off that I'm making better progress than he is!
The Policeman was great, and knew this was just petty bullshit not really worth any time.
I also pointed out that for the last few weeks it's been freezing cold or wet every morning, so the chances are I haven't exactly been racing around on freezing cold tyres!
So what now?
Is this toad going to be grounds for Police to pull me any time they see me?
Is there any way of finding out who the miserable twat reporting me is?
Should I just be paranoid every time I overtake a car, possibly giving each one a Meet The Parents style "I'm watching you" gesture in the hope they give themselves up or stop being a retard?
Anyone else ever been reported like this?

Well, the obvious answer is, if you aren't doing anything illegal, then they can't do you for anything. And you wouldn't exceed the speed limit would you Jamz?

That's what I'd be expecting, but then ALL the complaints were from the same person!
A new route to work may be possible in Summer months, but not in Winter...

simple way to sort this out... just ride to work bare back with just your helmet and a cape on. that should sort it.
Remember speed kills, so does smoking, drinking, drugs, fast food and many more good things

LOL you've actually just put a great revenge idea into my sick little mind!!!
Assuming I ever discover who it is (and also assuming I do actually overtake them in the mornings), I shall buy one of those joke plastic arses and wear it over my leathers.
I will then lay in wait on the route, and drive ahead of them slowly all the way, proudly displaying my plastic butt.
Oh yes - I like the sound of that on a daily basis!

Nothing says "Stop being a Busy-Body" better than 20 big bare asses in your face first thing every morning!!!
As my bike's been off the road for the last 2 weeks, it could be interesting to see if this person has still been making complaints to the Police...
