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 !!
Not cool at all. We have a rule that the bars cant be over 15 inches above the drivers seat in West Virginia. But I've never seen it inforced personally.

on some bikes, like my dyna lowered down in the rear, the top triple tree is damn near 15 inches above your seat.
Bet there is more to the story than that..........3 converging on ya at once. What where you guys doing 5 miles back?

Honestly nothing we were on slow moving traffic because we went down by the water and on the way home got caught right in the middle of people leaving fireworks( which is why there were so many cops ) but we weren't speeding it would have been impossible and stayed in one lane !! My buddies are just all tatted up and goin. 20 mph the cop prob got a good look and figured he could bust us for something !! So 5 miles back we were prob goin 25 in a 50 zone lol
That sucks. You said the cops pulled you over because your friends handlebars were too high but all four of you guys received tickets. Why did you and your dad receive tickets? The cops in your state must really be bored and have nothing better to do.
