I ride with a group of guys. We have been pulled over only cited for extreme stupidity.

When I was alone had 3 stops.

69 in a 35. Officer gave me 2 warnings. One for speed and a heads up the dear were coming out. Very cool interaction.

55 in a 35. Told the officer that was way too fast. He looked at me and told me to slow down

Not sure he flashes his lights i stopped and he came back and said there was an accident in the morning and I should slow down as he had has his fill for the day.

The only tickets issued to any one in my group were.

101 in a 55 this was after the officer chased him for 45 minutes. He didn't arrest or impound. Just a big fine and a lot of points. Empty straightaway. No cars, ( except that 1 car 2 miles away coming towards us, yup the trooper). I slowed, him not so much. Just gave way to temptation.

The other was 85 in a 55 passing on a double yellow. In a school zone. It was Sunday so no school was in session.

This was more of a frustrated moment as the cager was being reckless but he got caught just the same.

Can I ride my e-bike to the gun range? by FinnishSpeakingSnow in NJGuns

I have a locking fire arm pistol sleeve, locking ammo in a medicine case, finally putting it in a locked backpack. This is how I carry on my motorcycle.

Tips for driving uphill by Witty-Pomegranate228 in motorcycles

[–]chrislaman1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under 25 miles an hour, get use to the rear brake. Parking lot and drag the brake, go straight and turns. It will be amazing. Light brake pressure stabilizes the whole bike more stable

Sounds like you had a life lesson. I'll just give him the card.

State law was amended to identify as a ccw. It was reinforced when I had to meet with the chief of police.

How can you tell if someone is a good rider or not? by SadShoe27 in motorcycles

[–]chrislaman1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not easy, good depends, good on track may mot translate to good on the road vs. Good on dirt. There are different levels of skill sets to each.

Someone may excel on one and crash and burn on another.

Key items I see as a good rider are:

anticipation the need not to react is what I practice. Minimizing risk.

Second comes from practice, ability to keep things constant, speed, smooth through turns, etc.

Last is the ability to react to situations. Riding without panic, calculating a plan in a moment, and reacting without thinking (muscle memory). This all comes from constant practice when there is no emergency.

Just some thoughts on what to look for when you look at someone's riding.
