Operation Achilles, will employ covert and overt techniques.
One of the key weapons in the clampdown is an unmarked Suzuki Haybusa bike with a camera and speed detection equipment.
That's cheating !!

What the bike's called after it's been parked in a paddock after going through a hedge.

Yeah ....I've seen it !! ....saw the said "Busa" the other week on the Hull to Beverly road.
Looks like a standard dark blue bike, with rider in normal leathers and lid, only marked up with POLICE on the side fairing.
Also Lincolnshire police are having a crack down this year so my driving instructor mate has been informed...they will be looking at zorsts / small Reg plates / speeding etc etc ...and not just bikes! ...boy racer type cars as well
keep your eyes peeled lads...

Lincolnshire plod have a new fleet of unmarked bikes - I was talking to one of their officers last year, as he attended an off on the way back from cadwell. I was looking around his bike and it was VERY hard to see the police side of it - excellent stealth job, and I also noted he was wearing black leathers, no Hi Vis vest and a dark helmet - ie, looks like you and me
was a nice chap :)

Shouldn't be hard to achieve - stock Deauvilles just fade into the background anyway, so stealth mods should be minimal....

lol according to local info it parked in a farm entrance in a village (30) and caught hundreds in it's first day - cars and trucks of course - bikers wouldn't speed in a 30 now would they?

Are these stealth bikes a new idea then? I mean, I know Dorset Police are ahead of the rest of the forces in many ways, but we had a cop riding a Blackbird with a camera back in, oh about 2000!
