I hope you caught my head-tap signaling you of cops ahead - the state trooper would've had me if someone going the other direction didn't do the same for me.

I thought I recognized a couple of your bikes from this forum, so here's hoping it helped.

My friend and I went out at about 10, and from about 1030 to 130 it was nice an sunny, then it was like someone flipped the curtains closed, and I ran home lol.

Or don't ride like a jackass and cops won't pull you over

Thanks for joining this thread and adding so much value, you tool.

No one was riding like a jackass - and the cops will pull you over for riding 7 mph over the limit. I try to pass on a signal when I know they're around for that reason. If 7mph over is riding like a jackass, I'm sure you're as guilty as the rest of us.

So then 7 mph over the limit is not breaking the law?

7 is enough to get pulled over so it must be right?

Matt, of course it is. My point is that there's a difference between "riding like a jackass" and getting pulled over for speeding. You made a quick assumption that I (or the riders I signaled) were riding "like a jackass." That wasn't the case.

If you want to see riding like a jackass, let's go riding sometime. kidding, no but seriously, 7mph is serious business.

Lets Co-Exist.......shall we?

7 mph over the speed limit and riding like a jackass are two COMPLETELY different things.....but.....both can kill you.

Just ride safe!!!

cops pull bikes over bc they are bored. imo. and profile people on sportbikes young and old before they hear your voice or see your eyes.. you dont have to break the law to be pulled over by one of these wankers.
i see a helmet tap notifying me of a cop and appreciate it.

It shouldn't stop with sporbikers. Last month I was turning from Constitution onto Marksheffel to head home and a guy on a Harley in the opposite lane let me know there was a cop down the road. I wasn't even speeding, I had just made the turn and was going to turn off the road soon. But he saw another 2 wheeler and was looking out for me.

Agreed 2 wheels is 2 wheels, and the cops are out to get us all. Sure I might be paranoid, the question is. Am I paranoid enough?
