Thanks for the heads up Bunny. Thats unusual for Avon and Somerset, I have never had any problems with them as yet and my dealings through work over the years with their bike officers has always given me the impression that they are a bunch of nice genuine bike fans. I have got friendly with a few as they like the Ducati and always looked at it and chatted to me about it when they were visiting with prisoners. I suspect as usual its higher up the chain which is grinding the axe, and if the councils involved then I would say its them. Its interesting that the boy racer capital of the South West will not be pulling the scud missile looking exhaust gangs which sream up and down the sea front everyday, but will instead be pulling bikes who's usual deal is to ride to the sea front, have some chips and a drink, chat with others and leave. |
