"Title says it all.
Just when Mother's Kitchen was filling up with sportbikers, the party-poopers decided to crash the show. They rolled in and immediately began inspecting bikes for DOT violations such as loud pipes, illegal turn signals and rear view mirrors (or lack thereof), whatever. Then, more of them started planting themselves along the road along S6, and Hwy 76, at spots where they can pick out speeding bikers. They weren't kidding around as they pulled over groups of roving sportbikers to hassle them for whatever violation they can find.
Old Salt and I had to high tail it out of Dodge before they heard Old Salt's Yosh pipe. Dang! Just when we met a cute babe riding an F4i who actually wanted us to hang out for a while.
Damn Party-poopers!
Oh well. There's always next week. Here's to the CHP:
This poor sap had to explain to CHP officer why he should let him off with a warning and how his pipe really isn't that loud. The officers were having bikers start their engines to have a look and hear."
There is a growing attention to motorcyclists who use aftermarket parts that ride in Southern California, and it was concentrated at cruisers in laguna beach for the last couple years. They would pull you over, ticket you for loud noise (ticket 1), check to see if you have a Dot approved exaust (ticket 2), and catalytic converter (ticket 3). Since there have been more and more V-Twins being purchased and more Customed bikes, noise has been a problem here in orange county and now they are targeting the heart of sports bike heaven, Palomar. Pulling over groups of sports bikes for speed, noise volume, Dot certifications and catalytic converters. The photo above is of Mothers restaurant on top of Palomar over the weekend of 9/10/06.
