License plate mod

[nosbig]

let me tell you if ur caught speeding or running a red light on ur bike and ur stopped and u actually stop AND you have a license, reg and insurance then I can guarantee you u will be getting a harsh warning vs a ticket cause its so rare cops come across one someone who stops and two someone who is legit. not so much on the highway tho with troopers.....

Funny you said that. Last time I got pulled over, before the officer even asked for my paper work, he thanked me for stopping.

I think there are some states that have a policy in place that if a motorcycle evades at high speed the police are supposed to give up chase. Apparently the public or the govt. decided that too many motorcyclists/pedestrians/motorists were being killed/injured due to high speed police chases. Crazy... That being said, I've ridden for 31 years now and have never been pulled over. Drive like a grandma on my Hayabusa, lol. Usually...

I never have any issues when being stopped and think I've had 1 speeding ticket in 23 years(and that was in '02 after I bought my 1st Busa ).Got stopped again shortly after that for going through radar at 116 mph(was doing 160 a minute earlier)and got let off with a warning.I've found if you're not a wise ass and be on the humble/apologetic approach you'll usually get cut some slack.There are so many young knuckleheads out here always screwing up and mouthing off that us older guys usually get a break,plus a lot of officers out here ride sport bikes when they're off duty so they know how it is to cut loose every now and then(as long as traffic is sparse and you're not really endangering anyone[other than possibly yourself]they're usually ok with a little exhibition of speed).I've been stopped several times(back around '03-'05)just because they wanted to check out the bike,one also had a Busa and wanted to know how I liked my exhaust and another just wanted my opinion on the bike as he was thinking about buying one(told him he could take it for a ride but he said no thanks[with a **** eatin' grin],that somebody would probably see him and report him ).I've had on duty motor cops give me a nod and a wave as they rode by and have followed them for miles splitting lanes,never really a bad experience that I can remember.Then again we have around 800,000 registered motorcycles out here so everyone is pretty used to them.

wow nice. I wish my state wud adopt the improper hung plate statute. that wud be a great tool for cops cause the whole bent plate thing is no different then simply riding with no plate at all!!!!! can't see the fukn thing!

I can't speak for other areas of the country by in the city I work in if a cop tries to stop a motorcycle for his plate being tucked under his tail where it can't be read or simply turned up they will run 85% of the time. probably closer to 90% of the time if its a sport bike. so u have to wait for a red light to block the first car off in traffic and run back and take the keys out if they can't turn around fast enough.

fukn ridiculous cops have to do that these days but its not even a thought in my mind to light someone up thinkn their gonna jus pull over.... yea right!

look at the European license plates for motorcycles. you can actually read them. our MC plates are so small u need to be 10 feet away to read em smh. all that does is give the illegal rider who is probably on a stolen bike anyway the means the continue to fly under the radar cause after a while cops can't read anyones plates cause their all unreadable but the penalty is so weak that they all roll the dice....

running from the police is only a misd. such a joke. ppl's lives are put in danger wen the police chase criminals. most states it is a felony.

such a joke to the guy who went out and got his motorcycle license and took the (3) day course required by state law now. and the guy who registers and insures his shiit and pays TAXES on it every year. its a real kick in the balls to the legit lawful riders wen the cops have no means to penalize those who want to be scumbags and give the rest of the riders a black eye.

I honestly can't say I've ever seen someone flip up their license plate and scew from the police. their usually stolen plates and expired tags anyway but a $1000 fine wud be nice. I register my shiit, I insure it, I got a MC license so I don't take it lightly wen I see these little useless turds thinking these are just toys they can play with on the streets.

Here's the link from this forum when the law(s) went into effect. They have been modified a bit, but still pretty much the same today.
