What's the story?

Came across this whilst wandering around the i-web,
http://www.choppernutz.com/Photos/Other/photos/photo_6.html
I've had a google and can't find anything that relates to it. Does anybody
know the story as to why the fark a CoL [1] bike cop would end up in such a
spot?

Ta

[1] Well it looks like a CoL but I'm prolly wrong.

You aren't - the logo is definitely CoL. Background looks vaguely familiar.
That marble frontage?

I like the way that chap is pissing himself laughing.

It was in the newspapers a couple of years ago.
Cop didn't see the cones and rode into the concrete.

 

Been around for a long time, that - the first time I saw it, it was
obviously a scan from a newspaper picture.

I'd assume the copper rode the wrong side of the cones at roadworks
and entered a deep patch of wet concrete.

 

Looks like that. I wonder if he got a disciplinary for it.

Back about 2000. Cop took a turn against an advisory sign and
ended up in a new-laid trench-full of cement. I understand he copped a
lot of stick from colleagues, and poss. some discipline from the
higher-ups. It was in (some of) the papers.

I like the way the janitor is squatting on the seat. Doesn't want to get his
boots dirty, while the poor minion is trying to shovel the mire out of the
way with no effect!

Ah right.
Driving without "due care and attention" then.
Did he get busted for it? and for fucking up a bike paid for by the tax
payer?

Taa,

Never seen or heard of it before.

I had a mate of mine, many years ago, go down a big hole (in Tottenham) on
his old Bonny that hadn't been coned round. He wasn't hurt, but fucked his
bike up a tad!
In those days you never thought of suing for compo, we just got a couple of
the lads to help hoik the bike out of the hole and pushed it home.

JP spilled the beans on this one. The copper you can see is not the
rider who parked his bike there - that bloke stormed off in a strop
before the picture was taken.

Also, the prat who did stick his bike there was on his regular route and
knew the road works were there and still rode straight into it.

According to JP.

when I did my London bikesafe day in May 2004 they showed that picture, and
went on to explain that the very same bike was going to be out and about
with us that day......

That didn't come up when I googled. But then I didn't know about JP.

Thanks

I remember scanning the article from the paper
way back when it happened:
http://www.horrible.demon.co.uk/images/policebikeincement.jpg

 

Oh, I *did* recognise the road then! Right opposite Hillgate House. And
given the length and straightness of it, the plod was a twat.
