So,what good would become of Poorguy getting a ticket?..

 

Here in South Carolina you can run the light on a bike if it does not change. It's the law.

 

Hey, I see by your signature that you're one of those.

Have any scientific evidence to support your position, or are you just spouting off BS that you actually know nothing about?

 

Lets see here.....hmmmmm...a guy who's having a good day (Poorguy) comes on the forum to share a cool story with us....maybe he brings a smile....and someone else (Eyes), who it appears has never had a good day in his life comes on the same forum and takes a **** on the story-teller.

Thanks, Poorguy for a feel-good story.....

Eyes...if you were kidding it didn't come across very well. If not, I hope you can find happiness somewhere else this weekend. Otherwise, it must suck to be you.

 

Here in Washington, a law was passed about 2 years ago that says if a motorcycle doesn`t trip the light, the motorcycle can run the light providing you have set through 2 cycles of the light without it tripping, and then proceed with caution. I was stopped by a LEO for doing just that. I explained to him why I had blown the light. He said I was correct but most people weren`t aware of the law. I went on my merry way...

Lots of good ones out there. I was bobtailing on the freeway in MS. yesterday morning in the right lane doing about 8 over the speed limit when a car on the shoulder ahead of me started to pull back onto the freeway. It was obvious that he wasn't going to be going fast enough to stay ahead of me and I either had to change lanes or hit the brakes. I looked in my mirror and saw a car right next to my rear wheels so I started to back out of it and about that time the car slowed way down and flashed it's headlights to tell me I could move over. After jumping over to the inside lane I flashed my four ways to say thanks and after passing the merging car I moved back into the right lane.

The car that had let me in then sped up and passed me and as he did I saw it was a MS. State Police car with no roof lights. Just the emblems on the doors and trunk. As he passed he activated his emergency lights in the rear window telling me "you are welcome" and then he took off like a bat out of hell. about 2 more miles up the road I saw he had pulled over a cage that blew by me just moments before this whole lil encounter started.

 

Another cool story. As long as they (LEO) don't take their jobs TOO serious and remember it's just a job, some can be cool. Many however, especially young ones, well.

Oh and I'm ignoring the troll!

 

You just made another troll statement. Instead of eyes of Texas it should be troll of Texas.What does a Texas troll ride?

 

an '05 Hayabusa with ported polished heads, 1397cc kit, deep dish pistons on drag radials with a Brock's sidewinder. I'm out at HRP in Baytown running the 1/4 just about every weekend when I'm not in the Hill Country, the Natl. Forest or at MSRH raceway. Look for me.

My bike's loud because it has to be. The power it makes calls for it.
