I see crotch rockets pulled over all the time but rarely if ever a Harley rider.

Same goes for muscle cars Vs. imports Imports all the time, muscle cars hardly ever

The majority of people in ricers are 16-17 yr. olds that try to act like they are hot stuff.

You'll see it more in the twisties where sport bikers hang out than on the open road. I do think I get cut a little more slack in city driving. Don't forget it is harder to target a bike in traffic with a radar gun (even laser).

No need to target the bike if its screaming past the cars, a cop would just know your speeding

I've heard a cop comment that he lets bikers go because they're already putting themselves at a lot of risk.
