I was sent this article. I'll add a link to this thread from the "Becoming a LEO 101" thread too. ~MM4L ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAPD suing 53 former officers Patrick McGreevy, LA Times Staff Writer Copyright 2006 Los Angeles Times, All...

In the AP news today, a Yami R6 rider was jailed in Louisiana for speeding (155 MPH). CLICKY C'mon! Speed, yes. Reckless, yeah, maybe. Tow/impound, sure! Flight? Where do they get the flight charge from? That's weak sauce! Per the arresting officer: "He pulled over once he saw all of us...

I stopped by the local shop today and one of the mechanics was having real trouble with a bike. He is not Internet savy, so I told him I would throw this one out to BARF and see if anyone has had this problem or may have a suggestion. Hopefully I won't screw up the description... He had a bike...

I know, I know, we have been over this topic 100,000,001 times (actually that would be a conservative estimate), but apparently, there are people getting their training wheels off each day and fresh n00bs are entering the pond on a regular basis. So, I got this PM and I figured I'd go ahead and...

I put this in new thread so we can deal with this issue in one place. I know this comes up periodically so I figure this one deserves it's own thread. I'll also attach associated threads below. ~MM4L ---------------------------- MK4CE said: I have a question about what to when being pulled...

I have been getting a lot of PMs, which is fine, I guess. Nothing against you guys, but I actually participate here to help the masses. If you have a question, please share it here with everyone. You may benefit from wide breadth of advice and imput, others that have experienced the same...

This is a post from a DSM forum that was referenced in a thread in the GENERAL forum here at BARF. I just thought those of you that mostly lurk here may get a kick out of it. ;) Child endangerment? You make the call. ~MM4L...

I have received a couple of PMs from people here asking about my job, venting about asshole cops they ran across or asking if I know this "cool cop" or that "great cop" in one city or another. FWIW, I know a lot of cops from departments all over the Bay Area, mostly other motor cops and accident...

This was sent to me via PM and I figured I'd post it here for those that are interested. If there are any other LEOs out there that would like to chime in with information, corrections or advice, please do so in this thread. ~MM4L The best thing to do is contact an agency in your area that you...

I don't get over to the GENERAL forum much anymore. I happened to have someone PM me in regard to this thread. I thought you might find it interesting: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/....151465 Please go over and vote, even if you don't read the (long) thread. I did post this response...

I am really surprised (since it has been all over the news all this week) that no one here has asked about the legality of the Governor (who has no class M license) operating his hack with his kid on board. Of course, in true Sacramento-style, Arnold's staff has completely mangled this whole...

about waiving. Everyone complains that motorcops don't waive and Harley riders don't waive. Well, I rode up to LaDucati Day in La Honda this afternoon. Getting a late start and all, I saw a lot of bikes coming down La Honda Road as I headed up from Woodside. Even after crossing over the 4...

>> Notice to Everyone in the LEO Forum << If you want a proper analysis of your chances of beating a ticket and the elements of the specific violation you may plan on fighting, please give the specific code section(s) you were cited for (as they are writen on the ticket), whatever notes are...

Police looting Walmart.. gotta see this. If you haven't seen this video already, check it out. CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO Sad. If this is a repost, I had not seen it before. Sorry.

This question was sent to me in a PM and I am posting it here because it is an issue that comes up a lot on this board and is well suited for this forum. Q: Are flushmounts illegal? Majority of the bikes I see now have this type of set up. If it's illegal, why are retailers allowed to sell...

:banana :banana I am so jacked!! :banana :banana My best buddy called me today to tell me he had 2 extra 3-day passes to the MotoGP at Laguna Seca.. I'm gettin' into bed now to be on the road by 7 am and at the track for early qualifying laps tomorrow!! I haven't been able to attend Superbike...

We had this whole debate recently about warnings and I believe it saw svclee or maybe it was someone else that felt a warning should be adequate to get compliance and a ticket should only be a last resort. Well, here is a perfect example of what I was talking about: So, next time you get a...

I have reveived and answered a few PMs on this topic, so I thought I'd add the thread. Motorcycles are allowed with a single rider in ALL carpool and HOV lanes in CA. They are also exempt from tolls in the HOV lane on all bridges during the posted commute hours, M-F. The "Motorcycles OK"...
