Like to pull over motorcycles for the littlest "procreating" things?

Depends what you consider little. Wheeling, yeah, probably. Going 5mph over the speed limit, I doubt it. I just go with the traffic and don't have any problems

well, I got pulled over for a rolling stop. I didn't have proof of having my permit so techinicaly he was being nice, and he let me off not even knowing if I was legal or not. He said he had another call to go to... Safe to say I always put my feet down now haha.

last night I was riding home from my unlces and I pulled over to blow my nose(allergies). I was fogging up my visor by breathing through my mouth. As soon as I pulled off the road into a parking lot a police officier turned down the street I was on. When I took off my helmet he was parked behind me. He and his partner got out of their car and flashed some flashlights on me. They asked me where I was from and what I was doing which I told them and then they let me go. I was a bit scared cause last night I hadnt gotten my new license and I was in another state and it was nighttime. Under my permit I can only ride during the day and in my state. Now that I have it I dont have to be worried anymore.

in ohio your permit doesnt allow riding at night or on highways, i got pulled over on I-70 at about midnight. he gave me75 in a 65, but i think it was a bit more like 85. i only had my permit, and i later found out my permit wasnt for real. you have to take an eye and written test to get your temps validated, meaning you can use them. when i got mine the lady said i could ride, but i didnt take the eye or written test for about another 1000 miles. luckily the cop didnt notice, but he gave me a lower ticket and only mentioned that it was dark and i was on the highway.

i was a bit squidly then. wore gear, but speed was my friend and i was completely ignorant to the ways of the biker. i have since found my calling and begun to follow the path to rideteousness.

I swear I have been pulled over twice just because I ride a V-MAX! Both officers made a point to talk about it.

They've totally ignored me so far and I've seen lots. No doubt they have bigger fish to catch than me & my little bike and are focusing on those guys racing their big bad sport bikes up and down the streets around here and making like squids... They also seem to ignore the bikes with the loud pipes from what I've observed.
