    Bucket - I saw this a few weeks ago as well (I think it was posted on this site).
    Mate but I think you have missed the point having a go at Amanda - she looks very talented to me and we should be offering her a pillon experience......

    I'm not pointing fingers and I'm not saying this thread has got to that stage yet, but just a friendly reminder of the forum rules.  Debate is fine but please keep the responses respectful.

    I was under impression that everyone who loves HD's is welcome in this site.

    Hey Mr. enforcer,

    I personally dont have any great problems with the cops, because I for one appreciate the fact that you are there to protect me and my family if something ever does happen. Its often a thankless job, and, I realise there are good cops and bad cops, just the same as there are good undertakers and bad undertakers (thats my profession). Also,  I think I am intelligent enough to rise above the silly stereotyping of people and trying to tar them all with the same brush. I must say I've been riding Harleys for near on 20 years, most of that time as a daily commuter as well as weekend rides, and I have worn colours on my back for that whole time, and I aint EVER been pulled over once, they usually just have a look and leave me well alone,and I've ridden all over Australia. And I must also say, that I have met some really great cops over the years as well, who have been no end of help and advice on different matters. Having said that though, I can understand some of the angst towards you guys out there with some of the things I see people getting booked for, and nearly everyone of them something I regularly see some cops themselves doing, but you never see one of them pull over and give themselves a ticket!. When this problem is addressed, I am sure a lot more people would probably have more respect for the job you are doing. Just a few examples are the cop I saw yesterday on my way to work driving along talking on his phone, GD! if it was me doing it and he drove past he would have booked me for sure! What made it worse was the fact that I was doing the speed limit and he was doing well over it, no lights flashing or anything to signify he was responding to a call, just driving along  laughing away on the phone to someone with no regard to the speed limit!! And the time about 2 yrs or so ago now when I was taking my Mum to the Doctors, he gave me a ticket for pulling up to let her out in a no stopping zone outside the hospital(I didnt have any choice because she cant walk far and the drop off zone was full of parked cars but he never booked them!) then when he was finished he proceeded to do a U-turn straight over a double line,and pulled up in a no stopping zone on the other side of the road himself to run in and buy a can of coke!! If I had a video camera on my phone (I do now so watch out unruly cops!(LOL)) I would have filmed it and taken it and showed it to his superiors!

    to go from a Harley backflip thread to a grill a guy about his job is a joke.

    i ride with enforcer as do 20 others of us in SEQ we all know he is a copper and we give him heaps just as much as any one of us but its all in good fun . When we are on a ride he is just the same as one of us he acts the same and is treated the same . I havent met him in his uniform and im guessing he is a good cop but out of uniform he is a top bloke . I have many reasons to hate the force but trev is a good bloke and I will and want to ride with him when and where ever.

    ON TOPIC:
    Any one that can flip any bike is a mean feat to me
