Just a quick note as I have just come along the Embankment in Plymouth... Police by the camera heading into Plymouth pulling people over for fun.

Be careful out there..

The Embankment area seems to be their favourite 'eye spy' spot too

Ive been pulled at that point before when they have been doing those random stop things...

In fairness though all they where interested in was knowing if you where the registered keeper and if your vehicle came up as tax and insured on their database. didnt even give me a small plate fine which is a novelty.

still knarks me tthough that In 16 years of driving cars I have never once been pulled by the police - but sit on my bike however and the chances of me getting past a supposodly "random" stop thing seem to be about zero.

That Jason is because you ride a monocycle, they are just interested.

In brixham today, the shops own part of the pavement so as normal I parked my bike in front of my patients shops. A traffic warden said it had to be moved but we argued the toss as it's classed as private land, he called back to his superiors and they confirmed. Overall though he was a nice guy and we had a good chat, he had a gixxer 600. Treat them nicely and you get it back.
