And they want to crack down on us!
Our local police are going after bikers because 25% of fatalities involve bikes....what about the other 75%...plus part of this campaign is against loud pipes...how many loud pipes have you seen cause a fatal accident????
I've seen some weird things riding and looking over at the cagers beside me:
SEMI driver eating a PLATE (like in kitchen plate) of spagetti and meatballs while driving
A man eating corn on the cob while driving
Too many people talking on cell phones while driving (even though illegal here)
Way too many people looking down for a LOOOONG time while texting or reading texts trying to hide it from the cops (even worse than before the law banning electronic devices while driving)
That's all I can think of off the top of my head... but I'm sure there's more...

Read your post and you know why they are cracking down on motorcycles. It is the number 25% plain and simple we are the smallest group so they choose to go after us. They can't very well go after the largest population now can they? That would incite the whole population not just a small % of it.
Some of the best things I have seen as a truck driver are people reading newspapers, books and documents while driving. And the best ones are either pleasuring one's self or having someone else do it for them. And yes I have seen all types of these actions when they pass me and I look down...lol

I happened to glance over and observed the driver with the newspaper
spread across the steering wheel. I can't believe the chances people
take today.

Do you expect goverment to cover your expenses if you are in an accident? Do you expect people to tolerate your loud pipes? If I rode to back in forth in front of your house with loud bike that would be OK? If I expected you to pay my medical expenses because I don't wear a helmet or any other safety equipment that is OK too?
The man made a legitimate post...why are you trying to twist it into something it is not?

where in the OP's post did she say she has loud pipes and even if she did, who's saying she's being an ******* and pissing a bunch of people off by revving the **** out of her bike?
and third...if you did live up here....yes your medical expenses would be covered regardless of what you did or didn't do..that's the beauty of universal healthcare.
now...you have any other comments?

girlster8015 .... Police have always been the Tom and us the Jerry it's just one of those things ! ..... Like lifting pennies off a dead mans eyes! .... easy touch , easy revenue , loads of us so no fear of us becoming extinct ! .... But they are just the puppets on the end of the string ..... the people who are responsible for most of the do you mind telling me what your doing minding your own business riding your bike and while we are at it although we have stopped you for this we will look for that conversations by the side of the road carried out by the police are the people in power voted by and duly elected into government by the majority of citizens including bikers .... and it don't matter if ya change the strings your still gonna have the puppets ...... Funny old world!

That's just BS that they are going for the bikers. Picking on guys just enjoying their rides. As a deputy sheriff I got nothing against bikers and I don't pay a lick of attention to them, they are just guys like me trying to enjoy their day.
