Get ready Hillsborough county riders especially in the area of the Harley dealership because it must be justify grant money time again. I got stopped two days ago for "Non Stock Exhausts." Not loud pipes mind you, just non stock pipes. When he asked if I knew why he stopped me I couldn't resist saying, 'probably my fishtail mufflers because you stopped me for the same thing around this time last year.' In fact he pulled me over twice in a span of three weeks on the road behind the dealership when I was leaving. This time he got me on Hwy 60 on my way to the dealership. I mean come on, WTF? I guess the fishtails just stick out like a ***** in a pickle jar!
No more weekend stops at Harley for me!

Didn't they used to have replaceable endcaps on the Screaming Eagle exhausts? I thought those mufflers were legal.

My exhausts on my 2019 FLHTP are "stock Harley Exhaust". Just not stock on my bike.

Stopping a law abiding biker for an exhaust appears to be a much higher priority for some police departments than catching drug dealers, murderers, thieves, drunk drivers, speeders, or illegal aliens.

A great use of our tax dollars.

Hey Man, I think you have the best plate I've ever seen. I'm surprised DMV didn't click in or a traffic cop. Man that is funny. Don't tell me it's just an AI or doctored image, I hope it's real. Lastly, not gonna jinx myself about loud pipes "I know nothing officer, they came from HD MOCO like that" You said you got "stopped" but did they ticket you? hoping a warning with that Police Interceptor insignia, that's gotta count for some grace by the coppers.

Just read that HCSO is the first SO in Florida to start using cruise lights.

No tickets, just verbal warnings for "educational purposes." He even gave me a handout of F.S. 316. Motor Vehicle laws. Must have been an old one because it didn't mention anything about non stock exhaust being illegal. Then it downed on me that May is "Motorcycle Safety Month" in Florida and they have to show activity to qualify for program grant monies.
