Motorcyclists and non-riders , I would like opinions on this story

So in my experience if you don't drive like a maniac on a motorcycle, the cops leave you alone.

Amazing how many people have had this same experience.

Fifteen years of riding, I got pulled over two summers back for my first and only time.

Believe it or not, I had forgotten to put my helmet on and had only ridden a 100 yards or so when I passed a trooper going the other way. The rest is history,

My thoughts;
Cop-1
Bad guy-0
Good guys generally don't have a problem with the police and are glad they are around, bad guys think cops suck. Cops have a tough job and I for one don't want to read about how another one was killed while trying to be more "kind and gentle" as per the agenda of the PC public.
My opinions for my statement are formed due to the following:
I,m ex military and served duty as a SP liaison with the San Diego PD and Sheriffs Dept.
My best friend is ex Alabama & California Sheriff and a lot of my friends are LEO's.
I'm a biker, started riding at the age of 22.
Me, I'm glad the cops are out there on the beat, I sleep better at night. Thanks guys
