2 bikes stopped by the po-po Thomas Road

[aussiezx12]

Was riding on Thomas Road this morning coming up to the Byford turnoff when i was confronted with a police car parked sideways in front of a ZX12 and a Busa. The riders didnt look happy.

Hope it wasnt anyone from here, and that they still have their bikes tonight.

I believe the busa is sleeping in lock up for the next 2 nights.
Im not sure who it was though.. hope they packed themselves an appropriate amount of lubrication.

[Ryven]

I'm sure the cops were lonely and just wanted a chat. Surely two bikes like that, together, were doing nothing more than having a lazy Sunday ride.

Yeah, I'd say they're in strife.

Edit: Ah, bugger. Another one with an interesting start to the year.

Last day of the chirstmas blitz is a day to play it safe. Tomorrow when they are out of overtime budget on holidays etc etc will be much quieter.

Because of course thomas rd is one of the most dangerous roads in WA :|

The Busa was a light colour, possibly Silver. The ZX12 was dark.

Does it still have that fucking permanent 60 zone that rarely seems to have people working on it, in spite of the fact that the entire road surface is sealed and visibility is good?

I'm sorry to hear it. I hope both riders don't have too much more than bruised egos and repair bills.

[Suzukiphile]

bad luck.

If this is thomas road, kwinana..

I have been to 3 fatal accidents on that stretch of road...

There was one of our own killed on the western side in '07 when they hit the guard rail.. the bike ended up in the tree ( anyone remember ? )

And there's been a couple down near the lights as you turn into kwinana..

Yeah, while it appears a reasonably safe road.. I wouldn't risk it..imo..

[Jonchilds]

Fatalities on that road would appear to be fatigue and/or lack of street lighting - in my opinion.

Not exactly technical, but not exactly interesting either, and would be at the arse end of a long (30-45min) journey back from civilisation.

[Weapon_X]

it's the lights at gilmore road / thomas which are a worry people trying to get through the lights when they are already red. and also the orelia ave and thomas road intersections. lots of people speed down there as well.
