TOP: A convoy of 21 motor-cycles ridden by traffic officers makes its way into Christchurch via Belfast yesterday. Motorists could have been forgiven for feeling a little intimidated as the officers rode a fleet of new 800 cu cm BMW motor-cycles from Wellington to Christchurch. Ninety such machines, assembled in Auckland, have been bought by the Ministry of Transport to replace older models — in Christchurch’s case, 19821983 650 cu cm Hondas. A spokesman for the Ministry, Senior-Sergeant S. G. Burt, said the officers had had “an uneventful and enjoyable trip,” making good time.
