Etiquette Question

#1 Unread post by CYNWAGON »

So if you pass another bike on the highway but he's pulled over getting a ticket - Do you wave? Do you nod? What? :dunno:

You're supposed to grab a handful of change out of your pocket and throw it at the cop writing the ticket so as to make the cop quit writing your fellow biker friend a ticket and pursue you at which point you speed away and duck into the nearest alley and hide until the fuzz quits chasing you.

Thought it was ball bearings/marbles/spark plugs! Throwing change is just a waste of money! :laughing:

I don't wave at bikers pulled over...to me that just feels like rubbing it in. Unless, of course, the other biker waved anyway; I'd probably return it then.

Shorts is close. The proper ettiquitte is to perform a stoppie as you approach, changing direction on the landing is optional. Then you do a burnout leading into a wheelie. :p Extra style points can be awarded at the discretion of the motorcyclist who was initially pulled over.

Well, funny thing this comes up now. I got my first motorcycle speeding ticket on Saturday. Zipping down the highway enjoying the fact I hadn't been out on my bike for awhile, look over to the right and there's the RCMP in the slow lane grinning at me and pointing for me to pull over. $ 196.00 and 3 points !!

Ouch! How much faster than 100kph were you going to lose $196 and 3 demerit points?

I got the same ticket the Friday before last. It's the first time I'd ever been ticketed and I'm 26. I was doing 140, but he let me off on the excessive speeding, which would've been a 300$ plus ticket. 196 and three points is the regular ticket price.
