Default well this was unexpected !!!

well i was reading through australian dirt bike magazine and i come across this slab of txt and photo



could you imagine blazing a trail up a fire trail taking a break for a few minutes then all of a sudden these guys rock up behind you and then well you know what happens after that

apparently they are pretty fast and you wont even know they are there until they are on top of you

if you want to read the discussion they had with the officers then the bigger version is

i just had the same experiance. me and a guy i work with went to get drinks at ampm and there was a few cops, including 2 blacked out drz. first i though "crap, now i have to worry about them", then i looked at the suspention and thought "dang, i feel bad for that bike". not worried about them , if your fast and know the trails your riding your fine, till you hit the streets...



and oh yea...








F%&K COPS.

Wow!...WR450's. Punken, if you hit upon one of those guys who can ride decently, you might get surprised on the trail on a bike like that. Most of the time you see park, forest, BLM, or other backcountry law enforcement toodling around on KLR's, TW200's, DR's, etc.

F%&k Cops?...classy.

So punken...surely the ranks of motorcyclists don't have any bad apples either...do they?

I love this country. We have become very good at pidgeonholing all categories of people and groups to suit our stereotypes.
