Its all about perception* For example. Solidly white Essex, early 70's, white youth on Lambrettas and then a Ducati. Pulled over nearly every trip out, specially slightly out of area.
Leafy white middle class Surrey, mid to late 70s, white youth in a very fast quite new Capri.
Pulled over nearly every trip, often frisked, often by the same coppers, one of them even said "I cant afford this motor - you must be up to no good" That says it all really.
*on behalf of the police. Its not racism, its general perception.
And I bet she isnt even close to the number of time I have been stopped by the old bill in my life.
