Tail of the Dragon, Something else to look out for
#61
RE: Tail of the Dragon, Something else to look out for
We went to a bike rally in MountEagle Tenn about 5 months ago. A friend of one of the guys there gave us a day long tour of beautiful mountian rides. Now thats beautiful country and curves galore. Theres some beautiful curve country other than the dragon. Not knocking anything about the dragon, but it seems the rice rockets have tried to turn it into a race track. Enjoy the curves. Take the ride, but leave the racing to the track or their going to take it away. Look at the mess there now. Every rucky and ego driven LEO in Tenn is there just looking for sh*t. Be careful LEO ,you just might find what your looking for if you keep it up.

Couldn't be in my line of work with a record and you ? Im just sick of watching LEO's with attitudes like there above the law causing tax payers greaf just because they had a bad day or an inadequacy issue.

That's not causing the tax payer grief, it is saving their lives.
And remember, the rider in this story was guilt, 100%, he even admits it.

Here's a cut 'n paste from another BB.....
posted by a State Trooper:
"Hey, just to give you a heads up for next season----we have a new
captain in the knoxville district which covers blount
county------ he has already told us that we will put a stop to the "race
track driving" up on the dragon this year------so far what they have
said is that the speed limit is 30mph and "ANYONE" caught going 50mph and up
will be charged with reckless driving and will be jailed and their bike/car will
be impounded--- --I am telling you this because i am trying to put the word
out to everyone i know----or to people who know people that go up
there-----I don't want to have to take people to jail for this---however I have
bills to pay and I kind of like having a job---so never the less I have to do
what i am told to do-----so the way i see it is that if killboy.com knows and
you know and dealsgap.com knows and whoever else can find out can pass this
along---it will benefit everybody--- -----feel free to copy and past this and let everyone
know-------if you get caught up there it is only your fault because i am
trying to pass the word along for everybody's sake-----we are not just
going to come up from the bottom like in years past---they are gonna have us
go through cherohala skwy in north carolina and come from the top down to
the bottom----so no more free rides on your way back to the state
line----they are gonna bring unmarked cars with radio's and have unmarked bikes up
there----this will be a joint effort with blount county and the
THP-----The entire THP motor unit will be brought in 2 people at a time(for a week
long assignment) to be paired up with the local car----they plan on busting
tail at least 3-4 times right off the bat---then they will sit back and see
what takes place-----these orders came from Nashville Headquarters- --we have
a complete brand new higher ranking structure from the very tip top spot
down----they have said we will work until the problem is solved----just
wanted to give you and your friends a heads up.......... SIGNED...
.......Trp Cagle with THP assigned to Blount County Division---- (don't
come crying to me if you get busted----cause I'm telling you now)"

Been arrested just once. ANd I don't see any examples of these cops having bad attitudes. I think you are projecting. Keep in mind that there have been many accidnets over there. SInce the police presence, the accident numbers have gone down.
That's not causing the tax payer grief, it is saving their lives.
And remember, the rider in this story was guilt, 100%, he even admits it.

OH WAIT ! More about how the law can break the law and its ok. IT"S THE LAW ! Next it will be motoX and bike rallies. Then drag racing and ovel tracks. Well just about anything but church and well what ever the governor likes to do. So theres how many deaths on tenn roads ? Theres how many auto deaths on what highway ? Theres how many gun shootings in Nashville ? How much crack can I buy off tenn streets ? Theres a saying my grandfather said to me when I was young...DON'T FU*K WITH THE AINTS SON. LET THEM HAVE THERE FUN...OR ELSE YOU WILL GET BIT !
That goes out to the THP.
And I dont want to here another thing about LEO"S. There crucked as hell. They bend the law as they please to suit them. IF YOUR GOING TO PROTECT THE LAW TO THE LETTER AS*WHIPE. FIRST FOLLOW IT YOURSELF.

So, you would rather see him hit someone or something because his visor fogged up? That's stupid.
When my goggles fog up, Islide em up till I'm moving fast enough that the wind clears them. Rather get the ticket than be dead. Have a windshield though, but that exclusion is also dumb. Been hit by all sorts of bugs an stuff curving over the top of the windshield. Most leos have more common sense.
I have Leo friends too. None are so stupid that they would have tcketed this kid under the circumstances.
