Agreed, cops dont even blink at me on the klr, on the CBR though they love to follow me around. Just an observation.

They don't follow you on the KLR because they figure it can't break the speed limit

Very very true, I can't.


Back to the original topic, anyone notice that those two highways they set up on are the two main highways heading south through the state? In fact they wre the only two interstate highways heading from outside of GA into FL. I must use that as further proof that they are targeting folks who are not from that area (and consequently cant defend themself in court)

For the most part I agree with that. There are the oddballs that actually ride them though and they aren't too bad to deal with, like shane.

And there are plenty of no muffler, no baffle exhausts on cruisers that they will ticket as well.

I agree, the cops I've been around in HSV/AL/TN don't like the sport bikes one bit, but they seem to bat a blind eye to any of the cruisers around town (even though I've been seeing more and more riding like jackholes).

These checkpoints would better serve everyone if they would just toss them up in bar parking lots....
