No problems here either. These guys are pretty cool and usually wave or pull up and talk bikes.

The "Power Rangers" on the sport bikes are a big problem though.

most aren't a problem...those that ride are a little kinder when they do talk to you, those that don't ride act like typical big city cops.

As others stated, alot of LEOs ride Harleys here too. I've gotten the wave many times from the LEOs in my area. When the local dealer puts on a party with a band, etc., it's not unusual to see both city and state LEOs stop by on their bikes and join in on the party.

Nope, no problems for cruiser guys here. Sport bikes a different story though. They've been cracking down on them lately. Riding wheelies at 60+, stuff like that. Gosh, I wonder why???

When I first started to ride, I had an oldtimer tell me there are 3 things to know about riding around our area. 1-Cops love harleys 2-Hell's Angels won't mess with you unless you do something stupid 3-Never look a Pagan in the eye.
