ARGH! Wheres all the fun going! a story I found on the net-
Police nab teenage hoons on trail bikes
10.08.2006
MACKAY police have added a new weapon to their crime-fighting equipment — an unmarked trail bike.
The bike was used to catch two brothers riding trail bikes illegally on private property at Beaconsfield.
The brothers were the first to be arrested in Mackay under new legislation which prohibits hooning on trail bikes.
The cane paddock was behind the Beaconsfield State School and police had received numerous complaints about the unauthorised riding of trail bikes after school and on weekends, prosecutor Sergeant Neville Cox said.
A traffic branch officer in plain clothes used an unmarked trail bike to patrol the area and caught the Shannon brothers riding between sections of planted cane.
No convictions were recorded and they were fined $300 each.
No action was taken against their driver’s licences.
The maximum penalty for using trail bikes unlawfully on land is a fine of $750 or six months in jail.
Police are expected to continue to use the unmarked bike to patrol known trail bike areas.
Ive seen this bike on the back of a trailer being towed by a police wagon headding north. Finaly found some info about it. Was plain white, no graphics, could not determine brand tho....
