Point to the roundel Sibbo, just point to the roundel. The coppers will give a polite nod and say "enjoy your day, authentic motorcyclist" ;)

Phew! Good thing Honda didn't have the Repsol edition when I bought my bike!

As much as I like Fred, he does do stoppies.

My Fred Gassit T shirt shows him lane splitting at the traffic lights, kicking the van door exclaiming "leave a gap YUKKARN!"

How do we explain Yukkarn Sibbo?

It got old, back in the first few years I had my Triumph. I was getting pulled over for all kinds of stupid excuses, but never got a ticket. I think it was 12 times in 3 years. Both here in Oregon and in east Washington. But it hasn't happened since I moved back to Oregon in '91. I don't know why.

Motorcycle riders will now have to ring a police hotline number if they want to ride in groups of three or more in peace.
How do the cops track which groups have rung the police hotline number to get permission to ride together? It is probably like the US cops who "shoot first, ask questions later": pull over those obvious bikie hooligans first, ask questions later.

And I thought the US was turning into a police state. Next thing you know the Aussie government will start eavesdropping on its citizens internet communications, disallowing web sites that aren't on the approved lists.

Oh wait.... they've already done that. Never mind.

Well at least you have good health care, like bluesman said.
