On Patrol with the North Wales Police - Episode 2 - It's a fair cop!: The guys at the North Wales Police Road Traffic Unit recently invited me to spend the day with them on patrol in and around beautiful Snowdonia. So I fired up the big BMW R1200GS and headed North - here's how I got on. Episode 2 of 3.

    As a local to the area who has been known to ride 'enthusiastically' now and then I have to say the general impression of those guys is exactly how I've always perceived them. I've done the 'Bikesafe' course a couple of times and really enjoyed the experience,I can only assume the negative comments are coming from the weekend wannabees that flood the area in the summer getting their ambitions and capabilities confused as they cause accidents by thinking they're on a hot lap of the Island. After a weekend of accidents ( often involving visitors) there is sometimes a push back probably due to pressure from the locals,the anti bike attitude generally seems to have gone when Brunstrom retired years ago. Don't take the p*ss with your riding and I've found live and let live works well,and yes,I do run race cans but otherwise my bikes conform regarding plate size etc. I've had some very spirited rides in company with marked Police bikes when it's been safe to do so,they are enthusiast's as well and don't seem to mind giving impromtu riding lessons sometimes. Nice series Andy,look forward to the next one.

I went out with a Rospa advanced rider today for the first time for my observation ride and am looking to take my advanced test. I've also got a bike safe course booked in a couple of weeks at the Police HQ in Colwyn Bay. Anyway, I've enjoyed the first 2 epsiodes and you have now left us hanging for the 3rd!!! Looking forward to watching that :)

    A really interesting insight into the working of the Police. If you ride up to the Ponderosa many people pass but never stop at the amazing pontcysyllte aqueduct. Built around 1800 by Thomas Telford and still in use today by canal traffic. Carol and I took our 360 camera over it earlier this year on our channel, amazing experience. Thanks for the vid, cheers and take care.

Although relatively new to motorbikes I've enjoyed these roads since I could drive and it's sad to see so many of my favourite routes now plagued by average speed cameras. I'm all for people visiting and enjoying what we're fortunate enough to have on our doorstep, but sufficient respect needs to be shown otherwise it just ruins things for everyone.

    Another good vlog Andy and hopefully rebuilding bridges between bikers and the traffic police in Wales. Many still remember the antics of Brunstrom and the Mad Mullah of the Traffic Taleban nickname which no doubt boosted his massive ego. Great to see the North Wales roads being policed with common sense and education as opposed to Brunstroms iron rod approach. Personally, have never had a problem with traffic police. One had a complete sense of humour bypass many years ago when a mate of mine changed lanes on the M62 without looking but who knows what the cop had spent the previous few hours dealing with. Can feel a Snowdonia road trip coming on.

    Interesting vid. Difficult subject for the police wrt noise of cans; my standard Tuono sounds louder than some bikes with an aftermarket slip on, but that’s how I bought it and what it ships with. So there’s not much they could do. That said, I always roll off in villages and early mornings, pull the clutch in past dog walkers and so on.

    Horseshoe Falls? Thats in Canada Proper? For me it looks like most of the roads are very narrow. My time in Scotland in the 1970’s indicated most roads are painted on the Hills but only one lane wide, so the speeds were very low in general. I am sure they are much improved now. The police officer was awesome. Great communication about the job and public interaction. Nice stop overs. great officer discussions about lane positioning. Definitely experienced riders sharing good info. Love the video and thanks.

So it has to be the same at every 2 years at your mot. I dont know what you do if you have to fit aftermarket and they are louder either than ram the baffles with packing.
