Default Yikes!

I wonder if that's how it's going to be since they're passing that muffler bill, making it that you need to have the stock pipes with the correct emission label??

Only in California.......

I went into the dealership today, looking at a jacket.

I saw the price on it, so knew exactly what was expected, for me to walk out the door with it.

I disagreed with the price.....and then the jackass behind the cash register said "I have to charge you what the price tag says....my hands are tied on that"

What a jackass....he could have looked the other way and let me have it for 1/2 price, but Noooooo......he had the nerve to say "I dont' set the price, but I have to collect it".

He was just doing his job. But did you tell him that "loud pipes save lives"?

There are differant ways to do your job and there is always slack to be cut and he did not have to pull you over. Yes you have illegal stuff on your bike, we all do, but if you were riding cool then he could have just ketp going on his way. There are not that many bike cops around here, but from what I see of them they seem to be worse than the car cops.

I always found it laughable that whatever one was tagged for was the sole infraction not worthy of enforcement.
