I find this odd Bristol police usually aren't too fussed where you park your bike. Maybe this is a sign of a crack down to come!!!

But also utterly rediculous!!

A friend of mine was done for this cos he rode his bike across to get to his shed. :evil:

He applied to the local council for a droped kerb and they put it in free.

They should pay more attention to cars parked half on pavments.

Some of the laws stink in the uk. :evil: But at least they have loop holes. :P

fookin hell cornwall council charged my next door neightbours £160 PER kerb when they needed 5 changed for the car to be parked in their own garden. for a bike you'd need 3 which is nearly £500 and as its a public highway your not able to do it yourself even if its what you do for a living

So is stealing motorcycles illegal, but I get the impression the old bill aren't bothered about that so why would they about something so trivial as pushing you bike across the pavement?? Oh cos I expect they can fine you for it so make money :roll:

So all anti-social kids & their mates can ride their push-bikes [refered to as "BICYCLES"] on pavements and cause a big nuisance/hazard etc but us on Motorbikes [also refered to as "BICYCLES" - see ref on tax disc!] cannot push them over a pavement.

It seems to be a clear cut case of roll over and pay the fine... or fight it! :twisted:

well my PERSONAL opinion is........
ALL motorcyclist that run our of fuel should undergo a firing squad and IF they survive then they should be welcomed back into society as the 'STRANGE' cousin that we all suffer :D :D

Whats a "neighbourhood inspector" :? not heard of that one before ......

Either way, I really can't see anyone in the CPS bothering to pursue that one :roll: I'd just carry on doing what has always been done.





Oddly enough, I think I've bought an SV tail unit off that bloke in the past :shock:
