For those not on netrider, or who missed it.
A bloke was travelling on the Eastern freeway and was pulled over by the constabulary.
He was, by his own admission, speeding +10-15
They didn't bother booking him for speeding, they were targeting fender eliminators and they gave him a defect.
So keep an eye out on the Eastern, seems like the fendergate saga continues.
Since I now have your undivided attention.
Does this smack to anyone else of rank hipocracy and blatant revenue raising? I thought speed was what kills, not missing rear guards.

No "rank hipocracy"
It's like hypocrisy except it has a better hat and carries a +10 dwarven axe of retardation.
And yes you're right, he could have been done for a lot more.

Yep, how dare they. It was completely the riders own choice to fit and/or remove part(s) of the bike to make it not comply with the ADR and they bust him for it and give him a fine. What pricks. Not only that, they let him off for speeding too. That cop should have been out busting cagers instead of stopping a speeding motorcyclist on an unroadworthy bike.

In SA ,a fender eliminator gets you a $400 Fine & Is the easiest pinch for the cop's . Anyone who fit's one & then complains is just an idiot .Like a red rag to a bull ,you'll get pinched if sighted so why attract their attention .Some blokes just can't help Themselves .Yes biker boy I know its sarcasm on your post .

Not too sure if it's a sarcastic rhetorical question......... Just in case it's not, I wouldn't. They probably this bike because of the speeding, then changed their minds to ping him for the eliminator.

Vic bike cops HUNT bikers here... Keep your eye's open in Vic boys trust me. I never see them going to GP from melb but I'm sure they would prowl you bloody interstate 'HOONS'.
In saying that though, I've been pulled over a few times on the Busa by bike cops, I won't list my mods but lets just say if thay wanted to really look.....I have a list of mods that they may not like, not dangerous but still. Why they keep pulling me over, well, I like Gforce...c'mon.
Fender eliminators are such a minor modification it's f**king ridiculous. It feels like you're leasing your own bike from them.
What's next? Will officer dickhole allow you the privilege of changing (on your own bike) your grips, or your seat colour?

Sorry for my ignorance but is the fender iliminator modification when you just cut off the rear mud guard?? My mate did that and got fined for that as well as his Shoei AS number on the chin guard was rubbed off.

Lets all live like The Commos do, All drive the same cars, all ride the same bikes. Yeh, we all can all wear the same clothes too, Then if you step out of line.........
Come On, This is the land of the lucky, I am an individual and my bloody Busa is not going to look like the next one beside it, its that simple. But I am sure that my outragous thoughts will soon overheard by some copper who by justifying his Badge will see me as an "easy pray" target, pull me over and throw the book at me. What for, For being a druggy, for being a theif, for armed robbery, for killing some one........ Oh No, not all all. I will be taken down because of the ADR Laws. One look at my Death de Fying machine would make any sane Man instantly think that I, I the bad boy Busa Rider is the criminal for all the upheavel that is created in our society.
Mr Badge Man would then slap a defect sticker on my outragous machine so that as I ride on every conformist will see this most evil person in our society being made an example of.
This is my point, can I be any clearer..........
This is what shits me
