Under cover black zx14s... Watch out !!!
Looks like the FHP in Fl are packing zx14 power ....Two black lowered and stretched zx14s looking for drag racers have been spotted in the Tampa bay ....They look like drag bikes and they are going to set you up and take you down ... One guy we know of got caught in the trap .....After racing one of the black zx14s he was pulled over by 4 FHP cars and hand cuffed and charged with drag racing, the zx14 was no where in sight ...FHP told him they got the guy on the black zx14 also but no black zx14 was ever pulled over....
Also reported from a good source that local PD has two under cover Gixxer 1000 .....
FL FDLE is going crazy and using anything to stop Sport bike riders ...Just remember if you are riding a sport bike you have a large red target painted on your backside ...If you have a Harley Davidson you can speed,drive drunk and be a total ass and never even get a second look from the FL FDLE ......

Thats crazy but no different from here. They have pretty much shut down a country road in this county because of so many sportbike wrecks and running from the law. Its a perfect place for Drag racing, stunts..ect.... I used to populate it alot but it got too crazy... And i lost my license 3 times but anyway you are so right about harleys. When the Trail of Tears is here they get so much respect, and sportbikes get absolutley zero....!! The only Harley i would own would be a V-rod and there way over priced.

I'm sure in some way it is illegal , kind of sounds like entrapment to me but it's the police and they can justify anything ....I just wish they spent more time on murder and robbery than sport bike riders ....The murder rate here has gone to new levels this year and they seem helpless to stop it..... We have had cops shooting their girl friends and unarmed people ...Something needs to be done and i don't feel buying sport bikes and chasing us around is money well spent .....But just like everything else you have to follow the money ... there is no money in murder but there is a ton of money in traffic tickets and court fees ..

yall should come to Arkansas we really do have the collest cops around for the most part... I think it is partly because those of us that street race do stay way out in the country we have a lot of unpopulated roads around and probably 10 percent of the cops in my town ride sportbikes. One of the Lt.s here has a total sleeper 1570 stroker busa that runs 8.20's on motor and he rides it around alot

Was watching the Speed channel the other night, NOPI Tunervision I think, and they showed Nick Hogan in a drifting event somewhere with the rest of his family there. He crashed his Viper into the wall twice and probably totaled it. Completely took out the rear end of the car. Can't drive on the track and can't drive on the street with out crashing. Yeah he got off waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to easy. Anyone else would have been locked up.

Undercover black 14's....
Smokin:
Your FHP story reminds me of a past life in Philadelphia (used to street race cars there before I figured out how stupid it is). Street racing is extremely dangerous when something goes...wrong. Having seen cars go into crowds, people "rag doll" off bikes, it is what it is. Totally "wrong" to bait a rider into a race and then arrest him/her, but we are all well advised to heed your example.....race at the track. Maybe that's the hard part of having a bike like the 14 or a busa, you have to have restraint on the ....street. Thanks for the update though since I do come over to Tampa regularly.
Ride safe.......

Man, what is it with Florida lately? This BS and also the new bill in Tallahassee about confiscating peoples motorcycles for 30mph over the limit and only pertaining to motorcycles. I lived and ridden motorcycles( sportbikes) in this state all my life (45 years) and I gotta tell ya, I'm ready to give it all up. I guess it's all the punk ass clowns stunting in traffic and flying everywhere that have ruined it for everyone who rides sportbikes. All this BS has happened here over the last 5 years. Yur right, if you ride a sportbike in FL. now, You are a target!!!

Sportbike riders as targets...
It's all about perception. Here in Orlando it's common to see stunts pulled in traffic and that flames the 4-wheel crowd. In truth, I mostly avoid riding on Thursday night (bike night) here just to avoid the hassle factor because the squids here do enough stupid stuff the incite the police. It cuts both ways though. If we head out in a "pack" and strafe a bridge or expressway "at speed" then the door is opened for the cops to do their thing. The "reaction" from law enforcement is generally going to trend toward excess to up the "discouragement factor" by word of mouth among us once someone gets clipped as has happened in Tampa.
Reminds me of the forum member who was minding his biz when squids zoomed by and then he ended up having to decide what to do about the police who where in pursuit of the squids, but would likely "collect" him as the sportbike on the road. Each of us has to be "smart "about where and when to "pull the trigger" on these bikes. Most likely, that isn't somewhere on I-4, I-275 or some major road frequented by alot of 4 wheel traffic.
Ride safe.....

What a GREAT job though, eh? You get to street race other sportsbikes all day without fear of reprimand, and you get paid for it legally! Sounds like a dream job to me... sign me up!

Great...Flee the man...get caught and have no license......!!!!!
After seeing the arrest docket, the individual arrested seems "tailor-made" for a jumpsuit. Why is it that people ride high performance motorcycles, put themselves and the general public at great risk and don't even possess a proper license to operate the vehicle? Just the P.R. our sport needs. Another idiot rider on a sport bike with no license fleeing from the police...
Ride...with a license....

Ok folks here is the skinny
Florida Contraband act has been updated to include felonys (any). If you use your vehicle, home or anything else while in the process of commiting a felony, you fall under this act. they can seize what ever it is, arrest you, dismiss the charges. they must get you into court before a 10 period (PC hearing) to prove that cause was there. Now you have no charges pending, but you have to go to civial court or make the state an offer (attorny generals office) to get your property back.
we must approach this via the politicians to get this change. currently there is no previous law cases that can assist you in your efforts, unless the fail to get you into PC hearing.
as we know officers will testilie quickly, even the judges that hear the cases don't care and will award your possessions to the state until the court hearing is adjudicated. I don't ride on the streets in FL anymore, unless it's in the day time.
don't even think about hitting the MC night spots (trouble)

Anyone heard of entrapment?
Get a smart phone that records. (nice back up for court.)
1 ask the guy you wish to race if he is a cop or has any association to any poilce agency before you twist the throttle.
If he says no, go.
If he doesnt answer the question leave.
When u see the prick on the bike causing the trouble. Find out who he is. Publish a photo of the suspect.
I hate dirty tactics.
Never race alone.
Meet in a group. 20-40 bikes. Everyone leaves when the race is set.
Split up. Confusion. Drive at least 15 minutes to destination. (change it up) 20 minutes. Helicopters cannot stay in the air hovering over all of you.
Nor can the unmarked cars follow u. Choose an area where you can split up fast. Link up with head sets. Blue tooth is nice. 30 foot range max. Hard to listen in unless they are right there. Password the freq. Nice and quiet meet and greets. Challenges private and quiet.
Go hi-tech or go home...
Eyes open lad's.
We used to meet friday nights. Cops everywhere. Had our races and had fun. It was funny watching them. Confusion all around. When we lft it was like a fan. We were going everywhere. They waited in their fav spots for us to show up. What they thought was a great race area. Troll the street then race it. Always do the speed limit. They get bored.
Stay safe.
