I'm curious to hear what the answers to the quiz are.

unless its over 100mph... Bust chances are if you are speeding that will find something else to get you for.

You do realize that you would be the one at fault in that encounter.

I was just kidding of course. I probably would be considered at fault, but it might be hard for the rider to explain why his wheel came 'down' on my hood.

Riders Response. "Officer I thought a car was going to pull out in front of me sio I had to stop quickly. It was not my intention to allow my wheel to come off the ground. It scared the heck out of me."

Sound like a good enough excuse to me.

It was me. Reckless driving is reckless driving, whether you think so or not. Just because you can do wheelies on the street does not equate to having the right to do wheelies on the street.

and just because you can do a wheelie on the street does not make it reckless. If want to talk about reckless look around you in traffic and any given day. Look at the guy talking on the phone, The woman putting make up on, The parents yelling into the back seat not watching where they are going. How about the teenager that’s trying to fiddle with the radio. And especially everyone that is trying to text and drive. In this day and age you are more likely to be take out by a guy talking on a cell phone than a drunk driver but yet only one of those are illegal. When you are on a bike all you have to worry about is the road in front of you. We don’t have a lot of the distractions that driver in steel cages have. Some then I am crazy when I tell them I feel safer on my bike than I do in my car.

Yeah its funny when they lump motorcycles verbige with car verbige. At one time I didn't have any mirrors on my bike and was stopped for that. The officer wrote me a ticket for not rear view mirror. I was able to get it throw out casue Motorcycles are not required to have a rear view mirror. They are only required to have side view mirrors. Since that not what he wrote it was wrong and tossed.

I got one for "exhibition of acceleration" Not this time though. I had a friend that got one along with a failure to signal when changing lanes in the middle of a wheelie.
