hi,
on Monday morning of this week I was riding my MB across a intersection and saw some police stopping at the stop light whilst I went through the green light at about 20kms an hour (if that, engine was still cold) and then I got a bit worried so I kept riding and about 100 meters up the road saw nothing so I pulled into a back street just in case, then these police come flying around the corner at at least 60kmph going on to the wrong side of the road (lucky it was early and there where no cars on the other side) and pull into a public driveway and parked there, then they proceeded to ask me some questions about the bike and why I was riding it then I told them it was the quickest way to work because the only other way I can get too work is to catch a train and 2 buses which takes about 1 and 1/2 hours compared to 20-30mins on my MB, ect, ect, so I said that it is a motorized push bike, ad that the engine was under 50cc's. Then one of them was standing there admiring my bike (the only good one) while the other one called some local police from banyo, and then another motorcycle cop from the boondal traffic division, so a total of 2 police cars and 1 motorcycle (which I seem to think was a little excessive for a little MB, anyway then they all proceed to look at the bike and one asks me some more questions about it and I then said "I called the local police at hendra and they said" "motorized push bikes are OK as long as they are under 50cc" then I said "but they said just to confirm with the traffic div at boondal" which I did and they said the same thing as the other station that I called, then the motorbike cop said to me, "bull**** why would I say that that f***ing piece of s**t was allowed on the road" then another proceeded to accuse me of the bike being home made, because the rear brakes where disconnected, because I had to take the rear wheel off to get the rear swing arm repaired and strengthened and hadn't hooked it back up (still had the front brakes though) by the way my bike is stingray chopper sytle it is one of the ones that some guy was selling in Sydney not too long ago, and he thought because the brakes where disconnected that they weren't for that bike therefore he thought it was homemade, and also because it had a 24" wheel on the front and the wide 20" on the rear, he thought that the front end was off a mountain bike, and I said to him in a calm voice "I just bought it off a guy in sydney who sells them so the engine will bolt strait on" then he said to my face "bull**** don't lie to me" then they where all talking for about 15 mins while the cool cop was talking to me about where I worked and stuff, then the guy on the motorbike left the, the other guys left then I had to walk the bike home, but surprisingly they said they would give me a lift to work (because I don't have any kind of license)
