in my opinion the sport bike riders have got bad reputation with law inforcement because of some ridres will do unnecessary reckless riding (showing off) in public and busy roads and all of us has to pay for their stupid conduct.next time a cop see a sport bike and cruiser, who do you think he or she will keep an eye on? the other sunday morning 2am coming home from get together with friends in my car driving in 40 miles speed limit dark street , suddenly 4 sport bike had no time to figure what kind they were passed by me like a rocket probably doing at least 100 miles. this pass was in right shoulder in one lane street! talking about scaring the shit out of me.

jnybbad,
what part of California are you working in? Im in So. Cal. so if you barely see a ZX-14 go by really fast, wave! Just kidding I respect all officers and in my experience most motorcycle cops are really cool but you cant be doing really unsafe stuff or they will get on you bad. I had one CHP yell at me because while splitting lanes in the diamond lane I got stuck behind a slow almost stopped Harley so I left the diamond lane and slowly safely went around to the nexrt lane tp get around the Harley and when I got back to the diamond lane there was the cop beside me. Good thing I looked over my shoulder or I would have collided with him. All this at no more than 20 MPH, 10 MPH faster than the cars. He just yelled at me for going out of the diamond lane, crossing the yellow line and then he drove off. I did not do anything unsafe and I left the diamond lane about 50 feet before it opened anyway. My point here is every cop I have run into that rides is really cool to riders. My son just got a ticket for 110 in a 65 on the freeway. He had to pay $220 and go to traffic school. He was riding at midnight just trying to get home to bed no one on freeway but him and the cop. Speeding is way too easy on my 14. 5 am this morning I was doing 120 going to work. Its just too hard not to feel the rush of acceleration. I think this thread will slow me down for awhile, hearing all the fatality stories.
Just tell the truth in court, dont embelish, just tell the story like you did here to the DA first before you go in to see the Judge. If the DA knows you will probably fight the charge they just want to clear thier docket so if you have a clear record besides this incedent you will usually get offered a decent compromise.
GOOD LUCK

I do have a clean record , in fact a 30 year clean record... And i will tell the truth ..... I allways say (tell the truth and let the chip fall where they may)... I think we should all take a good look at our driving while on the zx14 , the bike is so smooth 100 mph feels like 55 mph ... It's way to easly to speed on this motorcyle .... Smokin ...
