Well on my motorcycle anyways[sm=badbadbad.gif]..

So i am headed home from work it's 11:30ish and i am on a four lane road in the right lane these two cars begin to break more and more infront of me for a turn coming up, well they are not the type to slow and turn they are the ones who stop and turn(on a 40mph street mind you) so as they are half in the lane half out i split between them and the car to my left and beat them to the merge 20yards ahead. No big deal then as i am going in a one lane each way i am stuck behind some old fogie so i am swerving in my lane....BAM lights are flashing so i signal with my hand(no blinkers) and pull to the side...

*here is where the forum helped i did what i read and i think it helped out......*

*I killed the bike and removed my helmet* as he was getting ot of his car,As he is approaching he is reading off my plate into his cb on his shoulder(which i was suprised i didn't catch **** for with no lisense plate light and it's a CW kit so i figured he would complain but he didn't!!!!)he askes for license and regi, so i step off the bike grab my wallet from my pocket and my reg from the "trunk" hand it to him and he asks "whats with all the swerving?" i reply "just warming the tires up.."(i was really just bored) he askes how long i have had it i tell him a year, he compliments the bike then says i see you have laid it down (referrring to my rear cowl the only piece which hasn't been replaced) he says "so how's that happen" I quickly reply "cold tires"(which is the truth) and he walks back runs the **** comes back says keep it safe have fun and good night!

I was happy he didn't act like a dick for things he could have.

 

Congrats on getting out of the ticket. I'll have to use that cold tires thing!!!

 

NICELY DONE!!!!!!!! i would have paid to see the look on that cops face!

 

Yea really that cold tires thing is nice....

 

The only time "cold tires" have ever payed off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Clean and free, ripp'n

 

The best bet...just like you did. Be cool and dont be a dick and most cops will respect that. Until they become dicks of course!! Then it is open season!!

 

A similar thing happened to me, though I wasn't as fortunate. I was test riding a bike that I had just assembled from the crate and brand new bikes have brand new tires so I was swerving in my own lane, not speeding, no traffic, trying to get the slippery "film" off the tires. A sherriff whips a U-turn behind me and signals me to pull over, which just happens to be the dealership parking lot [&:]. He immediately starts busting my ***** about how I could have caused an accident by swerving and I explained to him that I would rather wreck the bike than a potentially new rider leaving a turn and slipping out. I tell him about the slipperiness of new tires and even show him the area on the tire that is still slippery compared to the part that I have rubbed clean. He claims "yeah I have a motorcycle, I know all about that" (I'm thinking: "then why are you writing me a ticket?!"). My offense: wreckless driving. He claimed moderate traffic (3 cars within 1000 yards of me on a 5 lane highway). In the notes: "offender was weaving from side to side with wreckless disregard to himself, his motorcycle and other traffic". What an asshat. So I pleaded not guilty at my court date and have yet to hear back about my trial date.

 

sounds like a dousche....one of those guys that does it bc they cant afford the toys etc..

 

congrats on getting off w/o a ticket highrevver...
