Where did I say that White people didn't get pulled over, please point that out for me.





I know that I was going for a friendly ride behind a friend, true anything could have happen and I've been in those situations, but I gave my friend my jacket who was in front of me so if I wanted it, I could have pulled him over and get it, but it was too damn hot!!!!
Tecnically he could probably write you up for whatever he wanted to, but he didn't. Are some cops assholes and feel the need to lecture on about stupid shit and make empty threats?...sure. Judging from what you wrote about how you interacted with the cop it looks like you didn't show him much respect and that's probably why you didn't get any from him.


You never said that, but your whole post emplied the fact that the reason you were pulled over and "harrased" was becasue of your skin color.

I'm sure you know to wear your gear, I wasn't trying to lecture. Just making sure you weren't one of those asshats that feels proper riding gear is flip-flops and a tank top.



Bottom Line:

People who ride street bikes are gonna catch shit from the cops, there's no way around that. There's soo many unregistered, uninsured, and stolen bikes that they feel the need to stop everyone and just "check-up" on them. Not to mention that many SQUIDS have seriously hurt the image of sportbike riders. Do I think this is fair? NO, but it is what it is and it's probably gonna continue to be that way. Sorry to hear your story, just remember to keep it safe on the roadway and always have ur paperwork up to date (Don't give any of those bastards a reason to take your shit, or take you to jail)
