I had this happen and the cop followed me almost three miles before pulling me over for improper lane change (I didn't signal long enough). Thanks to people like you who run from the cops and are being knuckle heads, people like me get pulled over for even the tiniest mistake just so they can make sure our stuff is in order.

I hate it when cops do that, whether its on a bike or car. Most of the time is just to check your paperwork like you stated.

When I know some good corners are coming up, I slow down enough to clear some space between me and the traffic ahead. I'm sure it pisses the people off behind me plenty, since the straights are where they actually want to go fast.

i second this situation, dont run from the police you cant outrun motorola, at the begining of one season after winter i got the bike in order everything good went out for ride on the way back i got a bit stupid ended goin by a cop i didnt see at 90 mph on a downward bend in the road, i just stopped quick and pulled over the cop actually flew right by me had to stop and turn around he was amazed that i stopped i explained that it was my first time on the bike in the season just got excited and stupid he commended me on pulling over right away and let me go with a verbal warnin...
anyways, i love my corbin seat no more sore *** problem even after riding all day, gettin the numb throttle hand and bug splatter is my top two, oh and all the harley guys that gotta show me how much louder there bike is than mine.

Not being able to party to my full abilities (I don't drink & ride)
Can't buy anything bigger than a ps3 game and carry it home
Getting caught in a compleate downpour (yesterday my jacket gained 10lbs)
Not being able to carry in the small of my back like normal
Getting asked what kind of bike is it, despite the Honda CBR600 F4i decals all over

A lot of things already mentioned..
But one of my pet hates.
Riding in the rain with wet weather gear, but there is always one spot where the water gets in & then slowly seeps it's way down your neck,back/stomach, regardless. But always ends up pooling in you're crutch.

All the questions/statements from the people who don't have a bike and have no intentions of getting one.
