[QUOTE] It's bad enough when the plod pretend not to be plod, but why do ordinary people pretend to be plod? Yesterday morning I was driving down the M1 around Hemel Hempsted where there is a long Specs enforced 50 limit and I see what looks like a plod bike in the mirror, white, fairing, day glo stripes the lot, being sheepishly followed by an R1, this seemed reasonable untill the two of them passed me, the plod bike was in fact some wanker wannabee on a white Dullville being folowed at a discrete distance by the R1 who presumable haddn't twigged the imposter. What a dick, what is the point?[/QUOTE] Well... I've got an ex-plod K75. It's white and big and I think probably still looks like a police bike (no reflective bits, just white) I do notice that people get the fuck out of my way a lot quicker than when I've been riding other K series bikes or a Pan. This is why I like white commuter bikes. It makes my commute easier. I could understand why someone would want to accentuate this, however I wouldn't; mainly because I'd be concerned about the real plod's reaction should they catch me speeding.
