If you've never been harrassed for no reason you must not ride much or ride nothing but a stock geezer glide.

So last night i went out with my dad and my two friends. We were ridin down the hwy an undercover cop pulls us over. Before he gets out of the car two more box us in. He claims he pulled us over because my two buddies handle bars being too high, state law says they can't be over the shoulder. They are both over 6ft and have 16 inch apes with no risers so they might have been an inch higher if that !! They could have been a lot worse but they had the nerve to Say don't ride in groups of more then two because we're goin to pull you over and find something wrong ! ! ! Overall we sat there for 25 minutes and they each got a ticket ... Really makes Me wonder why there are so many cops around here if they have the time to bust our ***** for bullshit !!

I think most of us missed the real point here, and that is...
Like any group of people, you get idiots and than you get nice ones.

Haha nah no patches or leather vests but the shirts with an American flag and " Infidel " written across the top an " go to hell ill see you there " may have sparked their interest ! And once we were pulled over they noticed my license plate being vertical ( really ? ) and he was like ill give you a warning on that ! my dad " loud pipes " he has VnH on a fatboy ... We were real polite and he said look you guys were cooperative so I gave ya a break ... No moving violations just typical bullshit ... They got simple fines ... I guess in reality tru could have really broken our ***** but at the same time there was no reason to even pull us over ! It is what is it ... The fact they said don't ride in a group kind of pissed me off and then asked why do you need to ride in a group and when I said because it is actually safer as cars see you better ... The cop goes yea well we see you better also ! Just find it hard to believe four guys riding down the hwy warranted that kind of police attention.

I guess the point is I'm pissed that we were pulled over for no other reason than the cop profiling us and pullin us over just lookin to bust us for something an wasting my time lolbasically there is no point other than I learned that four average guys on Harley's get pulled over when I see ******** almost kill me on a daily basis because they don't pay attention when they are driving and nothing happens to them !!
