BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Local TV have just announced that for this weekend Derbyshire Police will be running a safety campaign for motorcyclist.  They will be targeting irresponsible and dangerous riders.  That translates as all of us so round every corner expect to find a van with a camera sticking out of it.

I saw an article the other day, showcasing an RT being used as a static speed trapper.


So it might not be a van you need to look out for.

Disgraceful.

Saw the same thing in Somerset a couple of weekends ago...

Don't Derbyshire have a bikesafe setup, this works by getting bikers onside rather than alienating them. they get a day with a couple of police bikers and an assessment ride. We have this down south and it is a great success.

They are all for making a buck or two up here.

My best mate lives near Burton, so love coming up North to visit on the bike, some great roads in that neck of the woods.

If you ride like a T##T expect to be treated like one...!
