Some things I have seen on bikes, No Mirrors, No rear brakes , License plates where you cant read them, Loud mufflers, etc;. If people ride with this kind of mods, their just asking to get pulled over.
Loud mufflers are worse on a cruiser than a sport being that they are a audiable source to alert drivers in cars. No mirrors I agree with. Rear breaks make up for 30% of someones stoping power most people ignore them completely and on a stretched bike they are useless. And honestly I agree to let people use neons its a visual queue just not red or blue. Cruisers do get away with it why cant we.
I agree, the old wal-mart parking lot is private property But since there are stores there and the general public has access to the parking lot, the type of riding shown in this video is reckless driving. The police cant authorize the parking lot if they do not own it. The only way for it to be legal is to have the lot closed to the general public.
I`m not taking up for him at all. But being prior law enforcement myself, I can understand what he does. The harrassment thing is a joke. I cant tell you the number of times I heard that. Laws are there for a reason. No matter how petty people think they are. Obey these rules and the police will not bother you. Police catch muderers and drug dealers by stopping them for these petty laws.
Well considering we have/had police authorization on the date of these shoots and also I believe private property also fell into this category I believe the parking lot is legit
As for Brooks a lot of people I know are close to pursuing harassment charges due to the way he handles things. There are stories hes left people he pulled over on cars to chase down bikers. As well as the supposed bragging he does about it.
I for one have not had a personal problem with him outside one incident
But all is all what happens happens. I could care less I just believe the authority needs to turn its attention toward more productive means I.E. Drug deals, thefts, and the asshole hit and run drunk driver that ran me off the road not long ago causing me to total my bike.
In more than one case, and I am not being partial to bikers, even outside law limits its usually some other persons laps of attention ( i do it we all do it like on a cell eating and driving. that puts them at risk
Overall the police, some close personal friends, do what they have to but I think a bunch of Street stunts and showoffs are the least they have to or need to worry about.
And as for Brooks, if what most things that are said are true he just needs to loosen up, I realize he does his job but to the extent ive seen is a bit to much. Hes not going to change the world and the ones he cracks down on may be ones he needs later on in some way. Karma has a funny way of bringing things full circle
Do what you suppose to do and you will not have any problem with the police. Brooks is only doing his job. I`m sure he will not bother you as long as you have everything on your bike legit.
Our group is the same way - two wheels is two wheels! I don't know who Brooks is, but a few of our riders are LEO's or gov folks, and I'm gonna ask around about him. Maybe we can get him off your backs! If you are riding within the law, then you have NO reason to be pursued. BTW, good to see that you guys do those stunts in a parking lot and not on the road; but this "ol' lady" wishes you'd do those stunts with helmets. Head injuries SUCK, they are life-changing, if not life-ending.
We probably know a lot of the same folks - or have seen each other at Sheetz. Our crew is the big group of "older" folks who goes to dinner every Friday then hangs out at Sheetz on our bikes. I'm the painter chick with the white ACE Tourer. Thanks for commenting on my vid.
Its possible. Most of us try to get along with everyone even though we don't ride together. I didn't know anyone around here did air brushing though. But yeah the group I ride with usually consist of the ones that shit along the side of sheets at the end. About 8 to 12 of us leave at a time... Quick question though, do you guys have problems with Chris Brooks like the sport bikers do? Seems he actively pursues us even when we're well within the laws guidelines ....
hhahah I know everyone there! hahah
