That wouldn't be Brading on the Isle of Wright?. I was done for speeding twice in the same day, 30 odd years ago. It was the same officer that caught me 6 hours apart.

Highly unlikely, I suspect it was the Radar Team from South East Traffic Area based in Cosham (?) on a jolly day out to the Island. Ken Mason had nothing to do with Traffic Dept.

After 30 years all I can remember was he was tall and slim with a tash.

That definitely wasn’t Ken, he was short (for a Copper) and swarthy bloke with no moustache.

Nope, they had the radar operator and a ‘stopper’, I’ve acted as the latter on occasion if they needed one…. Boring, and you get all the stick!

The officer had a laugh with me and apologised for pulling me over again. He was more interested in my bike. A Kawa Z1300.

One from May, 2001. Me, on my 1985 Honda VF45 Sabre on one of the milder curves on US Hwy 129 in Tennessee. Known as 'Tail of the Dragon', it has 318 curves in 11 miles. Notice the stylish Fosters Beer can repair to my left muffler where a stone kicked up by a truck on the highway knocked a hole in it. When I sold the bike, the new owner wanted to buy it like that, even though I had a replacement muffler for him.
