Got my 1st "No Mud Flaps" ticket.

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

Pretty cool, pretty cool.

I have a Mini Bike (about that size) with a 43cc engine, kind of a dog, I need to tune the carb BIG time.
I have a pocket bike (to the left) with a 49cc engine, it hauls and I can tell I still need to tune the carb BIG time.

I haven't gotten around to it on the red one, but I tore the yellow one down completely and did a "nut & bolt" rebuild. I should have started with the red one, that's the one that looses screws while it runs....

BTW, I like the 14 bolt front. I always envisioned them having an offset, but if it works for you. What did you do, use a D60 "knuckle assembly"??
Now all you need to do is fix that steering and your all set /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

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.

What bugs me about that, is when the other INSISTS that you MUST be an [censored]. You may give them the right of way out of curtesy, but since your in a big truck, you must be an [censored] to be feared!
Then again, in a small car, everyone just steps right on you.... /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif /forums/images/graemlins/screwy.gif
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

I'm 5' 10/11", 20 years old and can ride them no problem.
My father is 6' 4" and 54, and he can ride them with minimal problems. The red one, no problem. The yellow takes a little bit to get his feet set up, but then it does for me too.
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

this is why i run giant big-rig mudflaps on my truck. I dunno how low to the ground they are supposed to be by law, but I know mine are damn near dragging on the asphault. $101? not me!!!

umm yeah I guess I would but that wasn't the senario I was refering to.
beautiful summer day, in town, dipshit in his lifted Ford on 40+ tires, picking up road grime as he jumps on the throttle charging outa Wendys

If you run without flaps you deserve a ticket.
I got one and they threw in a Vehicle Inspection within 30 days for being an ass.
deserved the ticket, the VI was a PITA just due to the timing

2 stroke streetbikes are in Canada and other countries

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

Oh wow, you have one of the big pocket bikes. Its 2 stroke too? Is the yellow bike the smallest or the medium size one?
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

The yellow bike is definitly the smallest, about 1/3 the size of the red one. The red one in my opinion, is actually a pretty nice fit for a human. The yellow one makes you feel like a circus clown, but it HAULS ass, and does wheelies! I couldn't find a pic of me pulling one. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
However, I haven't been able to "hold" one, I just end up on my feet and the bike ends up on it's tail.... /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

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.

[/ QUOTE ]

I wont say thats total BS, but it mostly is. Just because you have loud pipes does not give you an excuse to be a noise poluter, damaging everyone's ear drums, for the lack of ability to follow basic traffic safety rules. I can't even keep my windows down if I want to keep my ear drums from not being blown out by some harley guy lane splitting in traffic, which is illegal in NY.

Im willing to put some money on the fact that if you wore hot pink 3M reflective suits every driver will see you, even if your bike made NO noise. So loose the low visibility black leather and wear some neon colors.
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

I am guessing you don't ride
you could dress like Krusty the Clown and many will still not see you
pipes do not help that either, they just echo in your wake
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

Plus the black (at least used to) be a functionality thing: didn't show the grease/oil from your harley. You know, the ones that it's time to change the oil when it stops dripping.
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

I dont personally ride, but most of my friends do. And the loud pipes are just freakin obnoxious, and they refuse to ride with anyone who has them.
Plus, if you have loud pipes, at least be considerate of those who still have ear drums. Is it really necessary to blip the throttle while at idle? Its no better than those ricer honda who rev their engines just to get attention.

Noise pollution is noise pollution period. I don't care if its from your blaring 20" sub box that want to rattle your body panels loose, your coffee can 5" 40 hp Honda exhaust, or your straight piped harley. Just because you have a bike does not make you exempted from the law, nor give you the right to ride like a jack*ss. If you ride by, and all the car alarms go off, YOUR BIKE IS TOO LOUD.

My apologies for those who are considerate and share the road.
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

Went to court today over it.

The judge called my name up, and said "You sure are a hardened criminal... no mudflaps".

I didn't even really get to my second point, and he asked if I had flaps on now. I said, "Yes, and have have these pictures of it." He's goes "That's alright, I'm going to dismiss this case".

So, I had to pay $25 in administration fees, and the ticket was dropped.
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

On the maiden voyage of my truck on the freeway I got popped by CHP for no mudflaps.He was going the other way and went to all the trouble to turn around and get me.Heck,I barely have rear fenders /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif I will take a mudflap ticket any day over any of the harder more expensive to fix things he could have found.

So,from mudflaps to Harleys /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

what gives a freakin harley the right to have pipes so loud that it blows out my ear drums?

It called 11:1 compression and drag pipes.What gives guys the right to pull all the emissions stuff off of their junk?What gives my neighbor the right to paint his house pumpkin orange?Never seen such a large group of candy asses sittin around bitchin about loud pipes /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

Obviously...you dont ride.More clueless idiotic stereotyping.I dont split traffic.I dont wear black leather.It doesnt realy matter what you wear.That lady on the cellphone that you have made eye contact with is gonna make a left turn right in front of you anyways.And she is looking right at you.So you can take your theory on high visibility clothing and stick it in your arse.

I ride every day,rain or shine.My DD is an 04 GSXR 750 (with race exhaust) and my weekend cruiser is a custom shovelhead I built.

And whos gonna be the first one to have a hissy fit cuz I dont have any front brakes or turn signals /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

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

There's a line where doing what you want to your own stuff and annoying the sh!t out of the public cross. I'm young and I'm supposed to like loud noises but when I hear a goddam motorcycle exhaust loud enough to make my head rattle it pi$$es me off. That is a public nuisance, same as the ghetto bass blasting @sshole. I dont give $hit about soccer moms not paying attention, thats what horns are for.

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

No steroetype there. Lots of thugs selling heroin and crack around here. It's just the truth, and most of them drive GT's. They line up on Route 44 on weekend nights. I have a lot of friends who went in that direction, most of them are in federal [censored] me up the ass prison now.
 
Re: Got my 1st \"No Mud Flaps\" ticket.

Preach it brother /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif
I'm seriously considering some type of drag pipe on my 68 FLH build for the same reason. I've been riding some sort of bike for almost 20 years and can't begin to count the number of people that tried to come in my lane, even while I'm next to them /forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif That's been on "quiet" bikes. When I had my old 61 sportster that never happened.
