Jesus... A local Bobby on his bike, policing used to be better then in my opinion as they knew everyone in the area and sort of guided you away from trouble if they could.. I remember when I got my first 'Fizzy50' and I rode it up to the school to show off to my mates and our local Bobby was at the station and he came over to take a look, I thought NO!!! , I was totally illegal at the time, no tax, insurance or licence He gave it the once over and said "nice bike, that will be worth a nick later..." I took the hint and fucked off sharpish.. Still used to ride it around the streets at night though with my mates and down all the back ally's and stuff just not so much during the day..
