err,I'm not Tom. I like Tom though :D

Best part of this thread has been everyone's ability to agree to disagree while still being civil to each other....as it should be. :)

Okay, he took out his gun pointed at possible suspect. Waited for Marked car to run a make on person and motorcycle. Gets ticket for doing something wrong in the first place!! Motorcycle boy whines, puts up that tape and the fireworks begin.....end of story. I have been riding for a long while, just dont do nothing stupid and abide by the laws! Not that hard! If you do, take your lumps.................

If you are going to light it up on public land, don't be surprised when LEO's don't take kindly to your actions.

I'm moderator on a large San Francisco Bay Area forum and we talked about this with roughly the same results. Virtually everyone agreed the guy was riding like a douchenozzle and many thought the LEO overreacted. Imho, he acted appropriately considering the types of folks they encounter on a regular basis.

One of the things our forum really tries to encourage is track days. Go get some real skills and use them in a safe and fun environment. We have several nice tracks for motos in California and it makes it a lot easier to get out there when there are so many great choices.

Want to go fast and wick it up? Go to the track.

Like I said as for pulling the gun, if you run from the cops theres usually a reason. I would of had my firearm out in that situation too and like him holstered it when I saw I didn't need it out.
Only thing I saw wrong was him not identifying himself. But with the marked car directly behind the rider, it's common sense to know who the guy in front of him was.

There's a concept! :r Since he was going 140 and doing wheelies on the highway, it seems apparent it's something he was lacking.

And I can tell you that even when they do identify themselves it still makes you want to wet your panties. About 20 years ago I was doing some property management work over in Arlington. Was in the house with two of my guys for about 15 minutes. Went to go back out to my van, opened the front door and was greeted by two service revolvers pointed straight at me from Arlington's finest. Seems someone forget to turn off the security system and failed to mention to me that the home had one.
