This and other talk by others on BARF about getting nabbed by the po-po has me trained mentally to use the following routine if I ever have the misfortune of being pulled over:
1. Ignition off. Key out, on ground.
2. Kickstand down.
3. Helmet off, on ground.
4. Sit on bike and wait.
THAT should cure the law-evading paranoia of any officer.
As for heavy patrol on Skyline/Redwood/Grizz (my local playground too), I'm OK with it if it somehow results in less squid traffic for a while. Way way way too frequently have I been seeing riders blowing the DY on these roads in recent weeks. I'll gladly put up with increased LEO presence if it shoos those bastids away.
Edit: Real bummer that YOU (Donovan), had to be the victim of the ticket here, over a <15+ speeding SUV no less.
