I thought this was going to be about a date-night.  :P


The reflectors on my 848 are stuck on the forks with double stick tape. As if to say, "please remove after opening the package. 
You could flick them off with one finger.  [coffee]

"
What happened with your ticket DQ? Didn't you get a reflector ticket?

Nope. The only recent ticket for me was that speed trap in Monterey after GP last year.

Anyone ever been pulled over for lack of fork reflectors?

If it is true fix it tickets will be issued more now, then anything is fair game, including aftermarket exhausts? If anyone does get a ticket for their exhaust, please post. Curious to see if this will be the trend.

My buddy just got dinged for "excessive exhaust noise"  on a Triumph Thruxton.   It does have an after market exhaust, but in my opinion its pretty quiet.  Even at higher RPM's.  I may be a bit bias.  My bike is pretty effn loud.  But the cop reportedly told him that "it was the loudest bike  he had ever heard."  Which to me means he has never heard a Harley or a Ducati.   [roll]

Where/ when?
Did he actually get pulled over for that as the primary reason for being stopped?
