Big Brother and Bikes 1 Year, 3 Months ago
|

Found this short blurb in the paper ....
Ottawa Police issued 79 tickets during a focused enforcement blitz targeting motorcycle and car street racing in the south end.
Ottawa Police stopped and checked 152 motorcycles and 103 cars in the area of Rideau River, Riverside and Hunt Club last Friday.
Provincial Offence Notices were issued for speeding, unnecessary noise, improper equipment, driving under suspension and no insurance.
Didn't stop me but it's a sad day.  We are slowly being forced to conform.

Assume your in Ottowa Canada(since your reading an Ottowa paper  ) I didn't realize you folks had it as bad up there? Boy, they sure leave the field wide open don't they. unnecessary noise, improper equipment, speeding I can understand, but what the heck is improper equipment.. sounds like a lawyer's dream.. and a biker's nightmare...Maybe it will blow over...

Its the street racing that is the problem..
Keep yer speed below 100 mph and dont burn too much rubber and hide yer NO2 bottles..

It was impressive, also pretty damn stupid..

Looks like the boys at THP don't have enough to do.
Send some of them up here to Ky. Before I retired I patroled as many as four counties by myself. We had to do the criminal work as well as traffic,plus
complaints,domestics,cats in trees, the whole nine yards. That seemed like
over kill to me. But what would I know I was just a grunt out on the road
