I have been a long time fine upstanding citizen but if I lived in Florida and this law took effect then I would have to say I would probably run if someone tried to pull me over.

That blows donkey dick. And cagers are exempt from this shit? With Nick Hogan's big street racing accident down there, I'm surprised that they didn't somehow lump cars into this legislation.

BTW, watch out Jerry! <-----Dark Busa = Jail!

FUCK FLORIDA...carry on.

Guys, I hate to say it, but it is kinda needed here.. They don't chase and that causes more accidents than necessary.... IF this will stop peeps from acting a fool on public roads, I am all for it.

There is no:
Helmet Law
Or req Insurance for MC in FL, and that shit adds up..... So these fucktards do what they want and only get a ticket for it, hopefully this will make it safer for everyone. They do not single us out, we bring attention to ourselves and that is where the problem lies.


But it is still one of the worse places to ride in America.... It is damn scary here, that is why I haven't been on a real ride since I moved here.... Hate to say it, but unless I find a trackday org that I can afford, I may give it up altogether....
