When travelling on the A47 in the King's Lynn Area last week 3 unmarked Police bikes pasted me.
A green ZZR1400, a black S1000RR and a R1150RT.
If your riding with panniers be careful what's behind you

Re: Unmarked Police Bikes
That's a very bike heavy area, Fridays and weekends there are hundreds of bikes heading towards Hunstanton, Gt Yarmouth etc, add that to the ebb and flow of holiday traffic and it's a hot area for incidents. The A47 is by my reckoning second only to the A140 as the most dangerous road in East Anglia.

I agree.....just having panniers should be just cause for a ticket.Blade wrote:When travelling on the A47 in the King's Lynn Area last week 3 unmarked Police bikes pasted me.

Re: Unmarked Police Bikes
I would say they warrant a charge of dangerous driving and driving with un due attention

Re: Unmarked Police Bikes
Because these bikes don't stand out, the rider is the most obvious to detect. It's been awhile since this used to be the case, but I think they need to wear a hi-vis jacket and a white helmet.D41 wrote:Hey....how did you know it was a Police bike if it was unmarked???
The best way to confirm it's an unmarked bike, get the blue lights flashing, as you exceed the speed limit.
I'm not sure with the English law, but the Scottish police have to advertise where they are patrolling on each day. This will be displayed in the local paper, for your county.
