Breaking the Law
I've heard many of the guys I ride with that say "speeding in a car is different than sppeding on a bike".
My question is do you think an officer is less likley to give a ticket to guy on a bike doing 10 - 15 MPH over than I guy in a car? If so, why?

I don't think it would make any difference at all to an honest LEO.

Actually my opinion is a Bike can get away with running 10 MPH over easier than a Car .. Smaller field of view not as easy to pick up on a radar signal .. But depends how you are riding when doing this.. If zipping back and forth in between cars passing .. They will get you ..

My speedometer is about 5mph slow and the cops usually give you 5mph over before they will pull you over.
That give me a 10mph buffer zone!
I ride easy and don't speed on purpose.
I haven't been pulled over yet!

It's really simple. If you are speeding and they are in the mood to write a ticket, you will get one.

We have some LEOs on the forum, lets see what they have to say. I think that most often a bike can get away with more speed than a car but I don't know.

I've thought about this. I used to think you could roll on pretty good if riding with a group because they won't fool with pulling over a bunch of peopl. I was wrong. Had a friend who was riding with a group and doing about +12 and the LEO wrote em all up. Speed limit is usually fine with me anyway.
