Just thought i'd let you guys know i've only been riding for 6 years now but the previous 6 years i've never been pulled over once on the bike. They have all been modified/loud etc. This year for the 2 weeks i've had the bike out i've been pulled over 6, yes SIX TIMES! And not even for speeding or doing anything stupid.
I've been pulled over 3 times because they said they couldn't see my license plate. They actually check my license for M class and of course my insurnace on the bike. Then usually I get let off with a verbal and I got a written warning the last time.
I've been pulled over 2 times for loud exhaust, and again checking my License for an M class and insurance and they also mentioned my licesne plate was hard to see.
The last time was at night, he whipped a u-turn and said I failed to dim my headlight for an oncoming car and that was illegal let me off with a warning. I didnt even use my highbeam it was my low beam I have an HID so it is bright/glares but I was like wow thats the first time for that cars dont even flash me on the back roads.
I'm not bitching at police for doing their job or mad about it the bikes plate is in a trick spot and it is loud but I've been talking to other local riders and it's been the same for others as well.
So just giving every one a heads up, make sure you don't have any burnt out bulbs, or change up your plate mount, etc. Because they seem to be out targeting bikes.
