Sweet pics and sweet bikes. What a rock wall. Hey, your second pic at the very top. There's a sign... "Don't feed the ???" Can't read the ??? What is it?

While stopped in a town south of Hamilton, maybe Otorohanga? I saw two Harley riders blast through town heading south the way I was going to go on the way to New Plymouth. Game on. Fired up the VFR, caught up to them, and just kept them in sight, perhaps 40-50 meters behind. They were riding at a good clip. Descending a long hill a police car appeared coming the other way, passed the Harleys, and turned the lights on (as I passed) while starting to make a u-turn. I pulled over to the side as I saw the car come up from behind me so it could continue on to catch those "crazy Harley riders". Seriously, was shocked it pulled in behind me. Told me I was going 117 in a 100kmh zone. I figured... a foreign visitor, unfamiliar with the roads, the flying H-D riders in front of me, etc. etc. I'd just get a warning. Nope. He asked me when I was leaving the country, and he told me a Westpac bank would be open on Monday where I could pay my fine before I depart. Now I have a momento...
