What else do cops have to do in that area? Unless it's changed a lot (and I doubt that), you and your Harley we're probably the most threatening thing they've seen in months...

Honestly, if you don't know bikes then a cruiser looks like a cruiser and a street bike looks like a street bike. Before I started caring I never would have been able to tell the difference haha

When I was younger and rode sport bikes most Harleys looked the same to me especially the geezer glides. How old was the cop?

You look pretty suspicious to me. Pass all those cars over there by that double yellow line while doing a wheelie so we can be sure.

Had a similar case of mistaken identity. Was getting of the Garden State Parkway in Union, NJ once & was surrounded by a number of copcars; guns drawn. Seems I was a dead ringer for a guy wanted for murder. I heard them calling headquarters & telling them how they would not believe the incredible resemblance between the real guy & myself.

I'm guessing the description was "Motorcyclist on a harley".

If that is the best info they got, that is casting a wide net.

any more in washinton state when you do anything with the title they wanna know the color of the vehicle is, so they can narrow down the search for the vehicle they are looking for... i guess that really doesnt appy to bikes because there isnt many colors to choose from unless its a custom paint job
