So in my experience if you don't drive like a maniac on a motorcycle, the cops leave you alone.

Amazing how many people have had this same experience.

Fifteen years of riding, I got pulled over two summers back for my first and only time.

Believe it or not, I had forgotten to put my helmet on and had only ridden a 100 yards or so when I passed a trooper going the other way. The rest is history,
