ok so earlyer on i had to nip to west meon hut now as many of you know i have a black citroen c4 coupe with i brake for cake across the rear window and piston heads smiley and rentech logo. lol
now on to the serious part as i hoped back in the car after filling up with diesel and paying for it i exited the petrol station and was parked at the lights waiting to go up the a32 and just enjoy the sun listen to my choons. but as soon as i was parked at the lights two police bikes pulled out from loomeys at quite a pace. they then followed me up the a32 and then at the crossroads where the burger van is i turn right and go acoss to petersfield along that nice long strieght road then down thru the twistys the coppers were still there i was abaying every speed limit.i get down into petersfield and turn right at the roundabout and head for the a3m roundabout and onto the a272 towards winchester. and the coppers are still following me im really getting a bit peeved i ust can seem to relax and find my self constantly checking mirrors and speedo. as i aproauch the langrish turn off i expect the coppers to carry on along the a272 but no they follow me throu the lanes and down into east meon where i live. as i have pulled up home the coppers slo right down and go past as i get out of my car and lock it the coppers have done a u turn round the corner and come back past my house and dissapered. what were they doing i havent done anything wrong. i have never felt so uncomfirtable driving in my life worse than my driving test.i know i am still a young driver 21 in june but been driving for about 3 years and this has never happened before.
i know there were alot of police activity in the area due to 3 people being arrested in the aldershot area under the terrorism act but does a fat bloke in a black c4 with i brake for cake look like a terrorist to you.
what are your guys take on this.

You're obviously a dodgy looking geezer! I've been followed by plod a couple of times, nothing wrong with it, reassures me that they are on the look out all the time checking out 'persons of interest'!

Don't worry about it and move on.... Nothing to see here! smile

maybe they were checking the statement i was woundering about previous hoonage but i think they would of pulled me. just having a pair of coppers on bikes just felt really uncomfirtable. but hey ho i was behaving nd i got my mpg up to 70mpg so i suppose it wasnt all that bad

They've done similar (not quite that far though) to me but i'll be honest, i'd follow me too if I was BiB and saw a 205 with shell stickers, 2 seats and a steering wheel. smile

I reckon they knew that as a Pistonheads Member you were going to go on an awesome route and fancied getting their knees down!!

Dude, use some punctuation! biggrin

They were driver/rider training. They use that area a lot. You should have pulled over and let them go past.

At least they were marked. Keep your eyes peeled for the unmarked Police bikes that regular use the A32/A272, my self and a fellow TVR owner (Cerbera) were hooning and i mean hooning biggrin along the A32 last summer (you know the usual bike batting) We flew past a unmarked police bike, he wasn`t impressed, he eventually caught us up at the West Meon hut lights and told us to slow down a bit, lucky escape really, he had small "Police" sticker on his helmet, and very small blue leds next to front indicators. They spoil all the fun hehe Be warned.

a) Sorry for punctuation issues dyslexia and all that jargin.
b) If they were training why the hec did they follow me home then turn around.
Im normaly pretty hot at spoting unmarked copers be it of the four wheeled variety or two wheel.
One of the reasons i steer clear of a272 and a32 on wednesday nights if its sunny.
Thats useally when the bikes are all out playing and cops are out every where.
