Well, i think I've seen it all now
Over the last 4 weeks I have seen an unmarked police motorbike with cars pulled over at least 3 times in the city area, close to the Westgate Bridge. It appears to be a red Kawasaki, with the red and blue flashing lights mounted on the handlebars and below the rear indicators. Has anyone else seen this? Also, there appears to be a real effort for police motorbikes to target other motor bikes. Coming back in the Eastern Freeway one Sunday afternoon, traffic was pretty heavy and moving fast as it was a sunny Sunday afternoon. All along the freeway motorbikes were racing past and passing in between lanes etc. Well, at least 6 police motorbikes had 6 motorbikes pulled over as we got closer to the city, they really seemed to be targetting them. So just a warning, look out for a white helmeted cop on a red kawasaki (although truth be known I dont think you will see them vefore they se you lol)

True, Unmarked bikes is better.
They are harder to see and they can fine motorcyclists. Unlike cars.

are the lights easy to spot on the back of the bike? If so just sit behind him and you wont have any problems... unless if it's at night, or he if he comes up to you from behind, then their may be some issues.

How is it entrapment?
The easiest way to avoid a fine is to not break the law. Simple as that. |

At least they are REAL police enforcing the laws with common sense, not revenue cameras out to prop up a dodgy budget.

a movie with a hot chick in it!! hehehe back to the bike thing though, they introduced this about 18 months ago i think it was, and they are riding all sorts of bikes, from trail bikes to R1's. I dont have a problem with it at all - there are som many bikes doing crazy things these days...at least this way the cops have half a chance of doing something about it if they see something. and as casper said, id much rather see cops out there doing the work, and showing their presence around town than watching a revenue raising box flash at motorists to make up for a incompetant government... ![]()
