Meanwhile…- I could pay 20,000 for an ugly dumb New Shit Bike…
Or I can keep my 500 dollar XS650 that is a BETTER BIKE…- That leaves me 19,500 bucks to pay for a tickett now and then…
Still tho…- it is good to fight against Bullshit and Lies, – But Evertime you crank up your Beautiful Chopper with the 30 year old Motor- That is STILL the Coolest Ride Out There…- You score a pretty Solid Blow….

Police officers aren't rocket surgeons, they just get to wear sunglasses and carry guns on the job. and ken, you could just keep a copy of the state regs in your pocket so that the next time there is an issue with state law, you then could produce said copy and get the “man” up to speed .

I'm starting to see ken's point of view and I feel your pain. As far as specs go, i don't live in OR. (VA) and doubt any law enforcement officer anywhere would off hand know the stuff you just ran past me. but i could be wrong..... That being said, I just asked the local garage guy who also does inspections and happens to own his own home built stretched out chop $$$$ and he gave me a little heads up on state requirements. now The front signals i linked are 9" apart and only come in billet (alum) but there is always powdercoat. The sequential maltese turn/taillight is 4" square. and these guys are the only folks in the country to offer this item. I could CNC any and all of these items in any and all materials from 303 stainless ( my bike) to 6061 alum ( also on my bike) to brass or bronze but unless its a production run its hardly worth the trouble. Gee I wish I were a shop owner but I'm not. I'm just a hired hand who gets a few perks from the boss. He thinks its a better deal than giving up more for health insurance. Besides I can work some extra hours making a few aircraft parts and then pay TC Bros to hammer out the details on a rigid frame. The American entrepreneurial dream is still alive and well but you've got to stick you neck way out to get anywhere... in the mean time I'll build a few budget bikes just to keep myself occupied. That and a beer or two on friday is almost all i need.......

So thank you for your input of your scooters I saw the turns up front, are they the small bullet leds?? Yea I asked the officer about those also, his remark was if I see them I will pull you over.. I had small bullets plate type on the bike at the time i was pulled over and he said NO WAY!!! Those are blinkers. And once the ticket is issued, you are in the system. and ether pay up or repair and take the none moving violation, which is a single hash mark on a good driving record, then the trailer well this was my poor choice just didn't think, hash mark number 2. 2 more I get a increase in insurace then the comment from the judge about He hopes not to see me even for a burt bulb was a little concerning, so as I build this second bike the law come up in conversation in are shop PCP cycles and how can it look good and not get the fix it tickets. I hope this brings some clarity, yea most of the time when riding my chop I have a 3/4 helment metal flake red Fulmer, As I have stateted be for I hope this to be a conversation not a exersize in my rightness!! Be Well To All!!!
