I must say I agree. Locally the supervisors have been trying to get them to crackdown more on the bikers, but most of the traffic enforcement is done by motorcycle officers, and the officers think it looks bad to write a fellow biker, like a break int he "brothahood" or something. I disagree, but oh well. Give them a Crown Vic and have them go to town.

it pisses me off to see even a ricer get popped for a loud exhaust, and while the cop is writing the ticket, a group of harleys goes by and he waves and salutes like its the president's motorcade.

Ask a biker and most will say the loud exhaust keeps them from getting run into, which isn't a bad excuse and has some truth to it.
Also I have no idea what that first ticket is for... I think one of the words is side... maybe it is window tint?

Anyway, what I think your suggestion is that they mandate motorcycles have huge train air horns...

I haven't been in a street race since, haven't gotten a speeding ticket since, haven't been pulled over since. And I always thought, well I'm safe, I'm smart about it. And I thought a good friend of mine was too. Today he's in prison for Vehicular Manslaughter, and that's where he will be for the next 15 years of his life. I'm glad I learned my lesson with a $80 citation, a year without my license, and double the insurance rates. It's saved me 15 years of my life, and made the rest of society a safer place.
As for the loud muffler, good luck. Of the 2 a month our department writes on average, I haven't seen one get canceled since I've worked here (2+ years now), and more than half are appealed. An officer DOES NOT have to prove it was too loud. Him saying it was louder than the reasonable person would expect a stock unmodified automobile to be is reason enough to cite you on the offense, EVEN IF the exhaust is stock. Yes, a car manufacturer can sell a car that breaks the law in stock unmodified form. Look at the Z06. At full throttle, it breaks the sound ordinances in most states that have them at a certain decibel level.

well, i gotta say ol' fiero boy comes up in this thread talkin' a bit to obnoxiously and over arrogant, talk about a brotherhood of bikers, what about the lsx brotherhood? fiero boy, as a fellow bretheren, you should try to help out another brother, even if he has done some dumb ****, acknowledge his mistake without sounding like a pompass jackass and help show him ways to move on and improve, and stop talking about how you don't make many mistakes, there ain't nothin' nobody hates more than a whinin', self flatterin', wannabe perfectionist, with that said.......the individual who started this thread, well, hulk hogan says "say your prayers and take your vitamins" and ya better invest in company who makes soap products that come on a hangin' apparatus cause from the looks of your 'predickament' your up ***** creek brother and johnnie cochran ain't in the practice no more so find someone who can work miracles and give him your money, ...the end!

Man this is definitly a learning phase, too bad we aren't all born with infinite wisdom on what not to do. After this one at least you will be a safer driver, to that is whole point of having the laws, just kind of puts you in your place so to speak. Can't knock you though I got my first and last ticket for reckless operation (tires went "chirp" at a red light) its off my record but I won't do that **** again regardless. Karma is a mother so don't worry about if someone on here has an unsupportive view or opinion. Just drive on hooah........

He makes the responsible among us look bad.
He took it upon himself to endanger the lives of others, without conscience of the aftermath. And now that the aftermath is on his front door, he's trying to weasel out of it, just so he can go **** up again.
He makes me look bad. I drive my LS1, with stock exhaust mind you, reasonably, responsibly, and in a manner that which I enjoy it tremendously. Because of people like him, the cops are already staring me down every time I leave a stop light, almost expecting me to drop a gear and hold it sideways through 3rd gear. But I don't. My friends know it'll rip a high 12, as do I. But it'll do so at the track, without risking the lives of everyone else. To the people that can't understand this, aka thread starter, I wish them nothing but trouble with the law. It will make the world a better place for you and for me.
