He's just jealous 'cause his scoot is as muffled as an underwarter fart!

It's not the cop's fault. He's doing the job he was hired to perform. It's the politicians who make stupid laws that cops need to enforce. California is just a different country all together.

That law about turn signals not being 9" apart is ridiculous. I mean, c'mon. Do they come by and measure? What's the significance of 9"??? Why not 8.5" or some other random number.

Way too much legislation out there. No thanks, I'll take the zero.

No. The saying goes "It takes a special person to go down on something that is big, black and full of seamen".

I'd expect it from a cop in a cage but...

Never heard about the nine-inch rule either!

Dick-cop.

I'd brace for more of it. Fed, states, counties, cities going belly up and looking for revenue.
BTW, the CHP that patrols the 67 hill on weekends will stop for novelty helmets.

Chris, I think that when they come up behind you with their lights on it means they want to race.

You know, when I got pulled over, the cop told me that my pipes were loud enough that he couldn't hear his police radio over my exhaust. My very next thought, well you shouldn't ride behind me then. Keeping that comment to myself is probably why it was a fix it ticket and not a fine.
