On a bike you observe a lot more. You know whats around you at all times. When a car comes up beside you. You know it. Trust me.
damn thats nuts! he looks like he was an off duty cop
so 16 yrs. mean that its final or..... and in the third link, he's right about us having cameras. its for our protection. what better proof than hard video evidence? the law makes the law do their job. the camera makes damn sure that they do.
how bout this- stop breaking the law, then you dont have to worry about the police

I have been advocating that for many years now. Over the pond they have WAY more strict motorcycle endorsement laws that they should have here. Would drop the deaths of kids buying bikes that are way above what they can handle. Unfortunately, it won't keep the reckless drivers off the street. There is a high majority of motorcycle riders that feel because the power and speed is there, they need to use it on public roads. It is one thing to use the power to get around or past an unsafe driver but it is another to weave in and out of traffic at high speeds and pull wheelies on public roads.
That is a very serious statement. I have been riding longer than you I would guess and it has no impact on my statement or why I made it.
Are you telling me that an object that is made of metal, aluminum, hard plastic, and weighs in excess of 400lbs (way more for older ones) can't seriously injure someone if it hits them? Worse if they are slammed in between another vehicle? You just stated in another post that they have caved in doors. Are you telling me that they don't have the potential to take off extremely fast? You have to be kidding me.
there was a kid that i grew up with was involved in an accident with a crotch rocket where the rider was killed. it was an intersection with a blind spot. the motorcyclist was speeding... excessively, and hit the 3/4 ton truck so hard that it knocked the 8 lug tire off. they can do a lot more than cave in a door. and that is also why i will never own a crotch rocket. ill stick with my little bike and a shadow.
x2...
So you are trying to tell me that a bike is so uncontrolable that you cant launch it and hit a human size target that is 5 feet in front of you? Bullshit. 5 feet is about the length of the f**king bike, dont tell me it would swerve that severely. Even if it was possible that it wouldnt hit the target, its still not worth the officer taking a chance and risking his life.
And seriously dude, there are 6 characters in my username....and you still couldnt get them in the right order
Please post the timestamp where the cop points the gun at the biker.
No you wouldnt, because according to you, a bike cant take off that quickly without losing control
This.

I agree as well.
I have been riding street for longer than most of the members here have had their licenses, the last 7 of which I have been on a sportbike. I have NEVER gotten pulled over on the bike. Any of them. Yes, I have done wheelies (in our warehouse complex) and yes I did drag a knee when I used to do track days. I have not nor will I ever do wheelies on public roads and my bike won't see triple digits on public either. Just because you have the power to ride like a jack ass doesn't mean that you need to.
There is a time and place for it and public roads is not it.
I used to race 80cc, and 125cc class amateur motocross from age 12 up. At 16 I got a R1 brand new off the showroom floor. I've gone through 3 liter bikes in the last 5 years and put 25k miles on each of them. I've seen all my friends go down on their bikes due to rider inexperience. I've sparked my pegs, dragged my knees, 12 o'clock'd, triple digits, all when the only people around to see was me or my buddies behind me on their bikes. Its not publicly dangerous if no one else is around. We live in very different areas. For instance, my town doesnt even have a gas station. I do 20+ over the speed limit on my road. Back roads are a better place to f**k off then in the city. I agree "There is a time and place for it and public roads is not it"...when people are around to get hurt.
And the problem is that since its a public road, you never know when someone is going to show up. Next time you get pulled over for speeding and pulling a wheelie on a back road, try telling the officer that. "I'm sorry officer, I thought it would be fine since there is no one around to get hurt." As long as its not the last cop who gave you a ticket, see what he says.
I've actually gotten warnings for doing standup rolling burnouts and wheelies on back roads because there was no one around. Although there were call in complaints about the noise cus my friend had his turbo busa out there and was running the 1/4. None the less the cop told us "Nice Bikes, Atleast your doing this out of town where no one can get hurt but yourselves." That cop happened to have a Busa aswell.
there was one just the other day.. you might have missed it.. here let me link you..
