Default almost taken out by two lawence TWP cops today

son of guns turn left in front of me within 2 car lengths as we passed each other & then cut back; had to lock her down.(two cruisers following each other) Thank god he cut back, should have seen his eyes they were big as saucers, my ******* was puckered. no lights or turn signals. you expect this from regular cages, but cops. go figure.
Well that was my first left to center encounter, just didn't think it would be the law that did it. goes to show what you guys have been talking about (trust no one).
Glad I get to ride another day !!!!!!!

Did you give 'em the finger??

I guess cops are human too- everyone makes mistakes- I'm willing to bet as good of drivers we all say we are, we have ALL made at least one mistake, like cut someone off, or got into an accident while driving or riding.

Glad to hear your'e fine. Next time you see the copper, tell him he owes you one.

Words of advice- Don't post this here- every other a-hole will tell you you should have known- car vs. bike you never win- they've been riding 35 years and this never happens to them -tell you your grammar was incorrect or was too hard to follow- blah blah blah.

People suck.

U mean they did a left "U turn" in front of you, or just cut in front to get to a side street? Either way glad to hear about it in person [umm forum] instead of the newspaper, you know what section.
