Dave yes it was me you saw on the 339, although I was already going steady due to losing sight of Everton who was a car lenghts ahead on the roundabout before the 339. Luckily saw a R1 rider with trackday fairings going from Alton at the start of the run signaling with his hand to turn around and go back, so I knew plod was on the route but didn`t think it was going to be the whole Hampshire Constabulary!! Did manage to spot 2 marked, 1 unmaked cars, 2 bike cops, and a camera van, ther could have been more hiding somewere. Some cars flashed me included you Dave (thanks) and a marked police car coming the other way even pointed to me when I was going at a steady 60, I can only assume it was his way of saying "we are watching you" (nice). Anyway stopped a few miles after the van and tried to call Everton to find out where he was, only to find him coming from behind me 2 mins later, he told me he had been helping plod answer some questions on the exhausts on his 999R, and then afterwards been followed by them for a few miles on the 339. As we got into Alton saw another police car and thought we were now done for…but as it turns out they were already stopped a BMW rider and we carried on. So do I feel like a persecuted motorcyclist..... [Edited on 25-4-2004 by Karl] |
