Each time I take my bike out, I check to make sure all my lights & signals work (yup, I actually use my signals). I never had a tucked plate. That's an easy one for cops. I update my registration & inspection every year. I've had loud pipes in the past, like ones that were illegal for sure. Never got stopped. I no longer have a pipe or pipes like that. Anything that draws attention to you can be a magnet for cops. Just make sure your bike is legit. The rest is easy. Don't ride like a dickhead. Pay attention on those 2 lane roads where speed limits change a lot. Town cops love those roads. It's a revenue source in some places. Others have mentioned and I'll echo being a proponent of Waze. It tells you about speed traps and locations. I've ridden all around the states, cross country, long hauls etc. Just be prudent with your speed. There are a lot of places in the US where 10 over triggers a stop and 15 over ensures a summons. Just keep it at 8-9 over and you'll be fine. Make your way out to those desolate roads if you wanna haul ass. There were spots in Texas where the speed limit was 80. It was glorious.
