Job's right Tim.

Just tap on the roundel, give the boys a wink and carry on.

They'll be looking at blokes on those rudely noisy HD's that look like complete tossers in their Ken doll outfits.

They won't bother regular Joe unless he goes past on his back wheel.

It's a very rare day I ride with anyone else but that said these laws will probably go down via the High Court, they seem to cross a few different lines, especially the instructions given to the coppas . The cops aren't too happy either, they might end up dead.

And hey, it's only Queensland, the deep north. They put idiot pills in the water supply up there.
In the 70s they introduced similar laws to stop anti-war demonstrations. Back then, it was more than three people congregating that would bring the wallopers.

A Harley riding work colleague was pulled over last week. The copper said it was because he took his hand off the handlebar and wasn't in full control of the bike. He was adjusting his visor.
Rider questioned why he was pulled over. He wasn't wearing any colours. The copper told him they have been told to pull over Harley riders.
At least he didn't draw a ticket as the copper worked out he wasn't an outlaw type.
Mitcham, Victoria. 1800kms from Queensland.
