Not for nothing, what gives a freakin harley the right to have pipes so loud that it blows out my ear drums? I dont care what you drive, but why must you rev the harley so that it freakin blows my ears? At least the jap bikes dont make such loud noises until their in some high rpm. Harleys are just plain irritating (in general).
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

I would never put mud flaps on my truck, and frankly, if you drive down the highway in the rain with your top rolled down, you deserve to get sprayed.

Lost all your credibility with me right there. Stereotypes are a serious problem.

I guess those people don't exist.
I know I've seen 'em, lawrence is pretty heavy with them.
But they can't exist, because that would be a sterio type.


Don't think he said every kid there is like that, but I would have to say their choice of cars is pretty well just what he said. So few stangs I don't think I'd even mention them though.

They don't exist in Timmy world.
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

I voluntarily put on mud flaps on my truck. (only on the rear). Why? After a lift and bigger tires, mud flaps only make sense, for both mud spray control, and also the longevity of your truck, espeically that "tailgate rot".

I havent taken off my mud flaps, and they work perfectly fine offroad.

Agreed 100%!!!!!!! Those clowns that run strait pipes with their road bikes are rediculously loud. I don't get it, open exhaust sounds like crap anyway. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif

Here are my options:

I admit guilt and pay $101.

or:
"Mitigation Hearing. I agree I have committed the infraction, but I want a hearing to explain the circumstances. Please send me a court date, and I promise to appear on that date. I know I can ask witnesses to appear but they are not required to appear. I understand this will go on my driving record if Traffic is checked on the front. In some cases, the court may allow time payments or reduce the penalty."

"Contested Hearing. I did not commit the infraction. Please send me a court date, and I promise to appear on that date. The state must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that I committed the infraction. I know I can require (subpoena) witnesses, including the officer who wrote the ticket, to attend the hearing. The court will tell me how to request a witness's appearance. I understand this will go on my record if I lose and traffic is checked on the front."

[/ QUOTE ]

Is "traffic" checked on the front?

If it has the potential to go on your driving record fight it. It doesn't really matter what you say either because it seems that cops have no issue with putting "spin" on things (AKA lying) so you can do the same.

I'd go with "Contested Hearing". From my experience, a "mitigation hearing" is a big waste of everyone's time for them to just say in a long drawn out process "go f' yourself". Choose a time when the cop is probably off duty (preferably sleeping) so as to give them even less incentive to show up.

PS: put mudflaps on all your modified vehicles that you take on the road NOW. Napa sells them for $7/pair.

NEITHER.

Okay, well I've looked into the supplier of those pocket bikes for resale, they're ok.

I'd rather ride my 1972 Ducati 750 GT I'm doing a frame off on.... /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

Maybe down the straight away.
You get a duplicate of the frame that duc raced that year when you buy italian.
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

Not sure if the post said you drove a truck and or a blazer....but in az. a blazer is considered a station wagon by its model on the title...and station wagons are not required to have mud flaps....if you have a truck i think your goose is cooked. If i am wrong about the station wagon loop hole someone like bubba clue me in...

Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

Usually Mud Flaps is just a fix it ticket? My buddy got pulled over a couple years ago in his non-lifted tacoma because a cop was behind him and the highway was wet; the cop said he was throwing water all over his windshield and couldn't see. Instead of telling the cop to stop following so close, he put flaps on and they threw out his ticket.

Oh yeah, and to those whining about the loud pipes on bikes, Have you ever heard the saying "Loud Pipes, Save Lives"; well it is true it lets the idot drivers know that you are there, so that they don't switch lanes and cream you.
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

Actually, loud pipes don't do crap for ya unless your right next to a car almost in front of them, or in front of them. loud as hell behind, but the sound doesn't carry too far in front of you as you scream down the freeway. Loud saves lives is a misconception...but they sure sound cool at the red lights don't they?!

It's 5 miles to the next town from here. When my friend's dad leaves his house in the morning, two miles away, you can hear every shift he makes, and you can still hear him until he's halfway to that town, which is 5 miles away.

Doubtful that you'd have to be right behind a Harley Davidson with drag pipes to hear him coming. /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

Mud flaps have been on it since 11am this morning. I have mudflaps laying around everywhere.

It's an '84 K5 with a 4" suspension lift and 2" body lift and 35" BFG's. Nearly everything I have has mud flaps on.

I don't ever let any larger than 35" tires get exposed (not purposely) on the road.

I've had cops go past me before in the same Blazer without pulling me over. That doesn't mean anything though. Mud flaps are now on and I took before and after pictures.

I'm not perfect, but I often go to extreme measures to be considerate of other drivers, even if it means me pulling over when I dont have to or whatever else. If I count the time I've spent doing seemingly stupid things to make sure others are happy and not impaired by me, it'd be rediculous.

(But that doesnt mean I never impair others... tonight while trying to load a car we blocked off a street for about 15 minutes till we got it on... then my starter quit. /forums/images/graemlins/doah.gif Probably slowed down about 20 cars from being on their merry way. My apologies.)
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

I believe that pipes that are obnoxiously loud is rude and immature. It makes the person look bad and misrepresents the entire group he is taking part in. Loud is understandable but obnoxiously loud all the time is just plain retarded.

When I see a 42hp Harley-Davidson with their badass straight pipes I just roll my eyes. They have the same lb/hp ratio as a 1989 Honda Civic hatchback automatic and accelerate about as fast. If they ever made a dumptruck on two wheels it'd be a Harley.

Whenever I'm at a traffic light next to one and the guy thinks he's a hardass and blips the throttle (because he thinks he's resident badass, not because Harleys are engineered with an oiling problem) I ask him how he'd like to hear some open headers at 3500rpm in front of his house.

Usually without response, they try to out accelerate me with their 42hp badass bitchin' white knuckle ridin' yawnmobile to which they weave on takeoff because they don't know how to get a reasonable takeoff with two feet. By 35mph the noisey cricket has been outpaced, largely due to the shifting characteristics of a Ford 9N tractor. The Harley owner is trying like a nickel whore aiming for a thousand dollar tip but it just can't catch up with ugly truck 305 power. 70mph rolls around and I let off only to be greeted by a full throttle flyby of a grunting sow just like a ricer does. I wait for the hazards to come on just like Joe Ricer does when they think they are "victorious".

So, if you own a straight-piped Harley and tailgate so close I can get you wet with my windshield wiper solvent be prepared to be a victim. If a obnoxiously loud wannabe badass gets turned into red asphalt by someone and wants sympathy they can find it between sh¡t and syphilis. There's no reason for that kind of stupid.
