What happened was, the cop ended up violating a riders Civil Rights, something I feel is more dangerous than popping a wheelie. As for "giving us all a bad name", that's nonsense. Put your inner Oprahs back in her box and wait for something else to feel outraged about.
I had a State Trooper tell me he'd never ticket people like these riders because, he said, "I ride, too".
The day I side with cops over a bunch of bikers you can take my M endorsement and I'll buy a mini van.

C'mon fiddlemike, they deserved anything they got , they were complete a$$es, troublemakers, not just a bunch of guys out to have a good time riding. I never had any problems with cops,well, except once when the pipes were so loud they set off a bunch of car alarms,lol., but that should have been expected. I think they should have their endorsement suspended and bikes impounded for endangering the public, theyr'e gonna kill themselves anyways. Some call me a sassy,old, hardass, but what's right is right & what's wrong is wrong. I do believe in 2nd chances, but if ya don't learn after the 1st time ya never will,lol
