37 years here on two wheels and not even a sideward glance from a LEO. I live on the North Shore about 10 miles from the NH border. Can you give us a hint as to what part of MA you're from so that we can avoid it?

I think that cops in general will leave bikes alone unless the rider is being an ***. I have been a LEO for 8 years and I don't think I have ever had a problem with a bike yet. Sorry, there was once I got sent to a call about a bike fillin the street with smoke...I got there and told him to knock it off and he happily obliged and apologized. I said no prob and started bullsh*ttin

A lot of my LEO friends ride, so they don't mess with bikers much in WI.
