Worty, I know what you mean when home in Seaforth liverpool the local nick was where I spent many a not so happy time producing documents for over zealous coppers who didn't understand you could ride a 650 combo on L plates even if it was just a board on the sidecar wheel. In the end I stopped it by using Acton nick in london (you should have seen the coppers face when I asked for that station),I went there every 2 weeks to see my bro at uni ,after the first a sergeant came to our house and wanted to know why I wouldnt produce docs at seaforth " as it took the PC "to much time" when it was out of the county. My old man who was party to all of the time wasting crap that the cops give me and my 5 mates pointed out that on average I was producing docs 2=3 times every week which was way over the top and "to much time " .The cop actually agreed and we called a truce I never rec'd another ticket while I lived in seaforth .The incident with the police bike is even funnier when you consider I was riding it in suited and bootied for work ,no helmet etc so really can't blame the copper for pulling me ,anyway without that I 'd have run out of petrol ,wthe mechanics only put a 1/2 gallon in and kept the rest for themselves !
