My $.02
- Ticket revenues go to the jurisdiction of the officer writing the tickets (State Troopers to Co., local municipalities to city/county)
- Having a bike that does 160+ doesn't mean that if I'm not doing 160+ at every possible opportunity that I've wasted my money as long as I enjoy my ride, my bike, and my day
- Running from a police officer is entirely up to you. I'll never do it. I prefer the devil I know to the devil I don't
- Riding through traffic at 160+ and lane splitting (anywhere but California) is what gives sportbike riders a bad name. It's often a product of selfish bravado that has no place on a road and is too often ended with a sudden physics lesson
- Giving someone else crap about wearing too much gear or wearing it too often is kind of like telling a climber that you're just being soft for using that saftey rope. If you wear a helmet on a regular basis remember that the guy riding 70+ up Santa Fe with a t-shirt, no helmet & no sunglasses is giving you the same crap
- To the original point of the thread, thanks for the heads up on the speed traps to those of use who are unfamiliar with their common spots. Speeding is a choice we all make and if we're not prepared for the consequences of our actions, we need to not take them
