- Hello,
I've been lurking on this forum for the past year and bought a 2008 WR250X last January. Yesterday I got multiple tickets for mods on my bike (tail light, blinkers too close together, mirrors, pipe, etc.) yeah I know very busy officer...
What god-forsaken hell hole of a state do you live in???????
Does your state require blinkers? Many don't?
What was wrong with tail light?
What was wrong with pipe? What kind of pipe is it?
What was wrong with mirrors?
Quebec/Canada. Worst thing is I wasn't annoying anyone and/or being dangerous, just slowly moving in traffic.
Hold on to your chair: I had a DRC-style tailight, he said my license plate was angled too much in the air.
My pipe is a Big Gun Evo nice sound, can get a bit loud but I'm careful in the neighborhood or near Police.
My mirrors are round mirros below the handlebars. Apparently they need to be 12 inches appart. They were 10 3/4"
He also said my blinkers were too closed together (like the DRC tail light) and aid that I must re-install the stock reflector.
I was very polite the whole time and the Officer was trying to be friendly by saying he's a biker himself and almost got run-over twice during the weekend. Said that we're vulnerable and need to be visible (don't disagree).
Worst part is I got verified twice this summer and Officers never brought these up.
Officers here are basically tax collectors.
