Do cops tend to pull over bikes w/ crash cages more than ones without (im not talking about when im actually stunting)? I am thinking of getting a cage on my 2000 F4 but in the past month I've been pulled over twice for pretty big infractions (aggressive driving and about 100 in a 40) and ONLY gotten warnings (verbal noteven written)both times! I'm afraid if i get a cage and perhaps a 12 o'clock bar my days of getting warnings will be over...anyone with a cage have any thoughts on this?

 

I never got messed with. I've never been pulled over either tho. Knock on wood

 

most cops dont have any idea what a cage is anyway. Its not going to get any more attention then you alread get for being on a bike

 

Why did you even stop? He would have never caught your ***

 

Great advice right there. Nothing like turning a simple stop into a felony.

OP, cops already look for these bikes so anything you do as far as a cage won't grab any more of their attention. Get one if you feel you need/want one. It's your bike.

 

yea i have had like 2 cops know what my 12 bar and cage was for
the rest are idiots
FTP

 

u are a lucky sob.

 

^^^^ What he said. Also yea you should of tried to outrun the cops, **** warnings winners go to jail...

 

I'll run if i'm doing a highway wheelie or something really bad...or if i feel sure i can get away w/o getting my plate seen or killing myself.
Trust me, I'm no *****...but I've found that if you stop quickly and are polite (don't get me wrong, I hate pigs) they are very likely to give you a warning. I would've NEVER gotten a warning for those same offenses in my car...they're just happy you didn't run cuz thats wut they expect and it's a pleasent surprise for them when u don't.

+1...it's not worth going to jail rather than risking a simple ticket...unless I'm stunting or goin like 150 I'll stop if I'm not 100% sure i can get away.

 

Cages are for protection of new riders incase of a crash i tell em HAHAHAHAH

FKN retarts cops are!!!!!
