I'm wondering if I'm the only one who hasn't been pulled over yet.
You DO know that you just committed yourself to getting pulled over, right? It's Murphy's Law...

I myself have gotten 2 tickets on the Feej. I'm normally a 10 MPH over kinda' girl but I guess that sometimes I get carried away.

Oh Fred, you actually kept Iris in your sightlines?

TRUE STORY:

At the EOM in Boone, my group was stopped at Shady Valley Country Store. Iris & Jim came pulling up right behind us. After a rest, they were gearing up to leave at the same time as my group.

I asked Iris & Jim if they'd like to pull out onto 421 before us... or would they like to have the thrill & chill of passing us up the road. They laughed... I was serious.

I haven't been ticketed yet, however, when leaving an Orlando Magic game last year a city PO stopped me(and the rest of traffic) at a crosswalk although there were no pedestrians waiting to cross, he just wanted to have a look and chat about the bike. The same thing happened on a Sunday morning on my way to work, stopped at Burger King for croissant,come out to see LEO giving my bike a lookover,turns out he wanted an FJR but was inseam-challenged

 
When Mike and I were married, we were pulled over at the same time and received tickets. :(

I was pretty mad at that, because I was just following.

The cop thought it was pretty cool to give two tickets to the same family on different bikes.

 
As soon as I fire up the Feej, the magnetic field starts sucking blue lights toward me, with Niehart bringing up the rear. :)
I think I found the problem Jeff, it's who your riding with. Have you ever got a ticket with Scab and I? Need I say more!

Not really sure how we haven't? The speed limit on the Cherohala Skyway is 110 right?

As tongue-in-cheek as one of the options was I, unfortunately, had to check mark the 1-3 box because of a misunderstanding with a WSP that eventually was rectified by the judge. However, a ticket doesn't really mean as much as being "convicted or accepted a ticket"....which is a far better measure IMO.
Roadside visits, Herr Shlickmeister! Not "convictions."

In some twisted way, I like to jinx myself...

How about two warnings?.....
If you got it in writing, sure why not?

Yeah, I'm the one who answered 7-10. I have settled down quite a bit since my last ticket.....none in a long time!
So, you're the one skewing the insurance rates on the feej??? :blink:

I'm participating in the poll, strictly as a fun exercise, and with the caveat that I strongly disagree with the statements beside each poll option. :)
Umbrage??? :dntknw:

 
It's only been a little less than one year on the FeeJ, but.... I don't ride like a madman. :crazy: Now other bikes.... Well.... a couple tickets. :blink: Which is pretty good.

If it's roadside visits...then it's then completely a different number than citations......and one again that really doesn't matter. 4 pullovers on the FJR -1 cititation -0 convictions.

 
I'm just glad you ask how many on the FJR.... which is a big ZERO for me! :p

Now, had you inquired about a CBR929RR, a YZF-R1, or a Blackbird, then.... I'd offer up a much different answer from me. :blink:

 
I haven't gotten a ticket on the FJR yet (in 2 years), but have been pulled over 2x. Both times I honestly believe the calm attitude, and full gear (and bags) saved me from a ticket. While I wasn't exactly Johny Rocket, I was certainly over the limit. I'd call bullshit on one stop though.

My record on the ZX11 wasn't as good.

Murphy beware.

 
I didn't read the whole thing.....

On my FJR I have not gotten any tickets. Does a warning or two count? I think not.

 
With all the sportbike and loud azz harley's in these parts the popo don't even glance at the "adult responsible" quiet feejer rider. :yahoo:

 
One warning in which I believe the LEO really just wanted to see my new bike. One ticket and it was a doozie...so far.
