I know what most of you will say but that's it for me freak them.
I'll not ever stop again. Installing the fast tag mount.
I know many here are officers and all I can say just like the bikers give us a bad name, there are officers that give you a bad name.
Story,
Traveling very low speeds in first gear. The bike is not running right, stop in go traffic. I have to keep it rived to stay running. The light changes. The Leo is facing the opposite direction to the way I'm going. Traffic is stop and go but plenty of room for a bike to ride down along the side to bail. What I do, I did what a law abiding citizen would do. I stay in stop and go traffic. Sirens are hit. I know damn well that the LEO has turn around and come to pull me over. Why? Since the bike was not running right I gave it too much gas and snap out the clutch in first gear. It pops the wheel up. The sirens are on. I sit in traffic thinking maybe he will listen to me explain what happened. :banghead
Mistake number two.
The bike cuts off while he’s yelling at me to pull over I'm sitting there in traffic. I try to start the bike it turns over, it does not crank, I try again, same outcome.
I roll it over to the side of the road he jumps out and ask for license and reg. I have both. I asked him if I could explain what happened and tell him if I had meant to do it why would I sit in traffic waiting for him to pull me over?
They called it a wheelie. I laughed and sad you obviously don't know what a wheelie is because that was a mistake. A wheelie I would only do in no traffic situations. I definitely would lot lope the front wheel on purpose in traffic.
COP "License and registration"
me alright May I remove my helmet and gloves to get them sir.
I hand over the license and reg and try to explain what happen so he says he going to impound the bike. WTF
COP:
Bike is not running right I’ll impound it.
If you would listen I can explain it
I say it's likely a bad connection and now I know something is wrong I can fix it.
He give me a ticket for "reckless driving, improper control”
Me: I replied if you would just listen as to why it occurred and not be a DICK you will understand why it happened
Mistake number three calling the cop a DICK
Cop:
He insists to impound the bike. I calm done and started addressing him by Lieutenant since he was.
cop: I have not given a ticket in ten years
Me: Really, yet you picked a biker to give it too. Seriously officer by the time you turn around I could have been gone if I was not a law abiding citizen so this is my reward for not running. Thanks sir.
I darn sure know what I'll do next time under the same circumstances.
Cop: I'm calling a wrecker to impound your bike.
Me
Students can walk up and down this street publicly intoxicated and you would do nothing, except give them a safe ride home. A local law abiding citizen whom accidentally brings the front wheel off the ground get's a reckless driving ticket
Tell me Lieutenant, where is the justice in that?
I can fix the bike. He wants to hear it run I cleaned the connection under the seat with my key.
Me:
I don’t carry a pocket knife “Good thing, I suppose or I would be charged with assault with a weapon”
I shooked his hand with a firm grip and replied I’ll be seeing you.
Cop: What does that suppose to mean
Me: I’ll see you in court sir. Perhaps the judge will have some compassion for law abiding citizens.
This site has almost convinced me that leo’s are compassionate. In the last year twice I was not doing much wrong and trice I got a ticket. They hate bikes, so now on I’m not being nice. Don’t even try to convince me a cop is fair.
If the justice system works this will be tossed out but if not they have alienated another biker.
