Yea the cops seem to come in two catagories when it comes to bikes. In all honesty, I've never been hasseled in my 30 yrs of biking but I know of a lot of guys that just seem to accumulate tickets. My youngest son managed to get no less than 9 speeding tickets on his ZX 600 one summer when we lived in Minnesota. Took him two years to get his license back.
Indian Larry was great. Sad day when he got killed. Billy Lane built some great bikes. He just seems to believe that laws don't apply to him. Will be interesting to see how he makes out with those three felony charges. I doubt he is going to get out of the manslaughter one.
