Anyone have any tips or tricks to avoid unwanted attention on a motorcycle? Like not riding tucked and shifting early around cops? Things to bring the heat down.

Don't ride a bike that is above the legal threshold for noise (100 dbs I think). Plus no one likes people like that.

I have the stock exhaust but it's a red sport bike so it catches their eyes. I've found that they know I'm coming long before I see them anyways.

Just ride responsibly. Then you have nothing to worry about. Simple as that.

If you want to go fast and be leaning into corners, save that for a track day.

Ride responsibly, always wave/nod and always look as relaxed as possible. If you look like you're having a hard time AND going too fast they'll shit all over you. Look relaxed and totally in control and they tend to let shit slide more.

That and stop shooting at road signs like Lesh Jr. They don't like that.

It really depends on the bike, if you have a sportbike, you will generally get more attention from the police. The only thing you can do is ride the speed limit and don't break any laws.

i drive an evo x and get looks from cops all the time. Just go the speed limit and drive responsibly. There is no reason to risk your life or someone else's on public roads. My car is loud as fuck but i try to only break one traffic law at a time (loud exhaust being mine).

Any time you get pulled over (not in a speed trap) it will be for 2 reasons. One will be the major one and the other reasons is fabricated to justify the stop.

Sometimes the cop will just feel like stopping you and there is nothing you can do... take it from me ive been stopped for "going too slow" 60 in a 65....


OH and on a bike have a riding jacket/pants and boots. None of that t-shirt shit.

For the love of God don't squid. But ride responsibly and you won't be suspicious. No tinted visors at night is also a good rule to follow. A) because you can't see shit B) its illegal and you can get sited for it.

Thought of another, underglow, rear LED's, front LED's and license plates way the hell behind the rear tire are all easy reasons for a sitation/secondary sitation. But I like the look of a few of those mods so I do it and ask for forgivness later. #rebel.
