NYC Police have a special task force to target motorcycle riders. They will be extremely vigilant during the last month of June and the first month of July.

I was treated absolutely inappropriately this morning by an officer who used clearly unjustified force against me on my commute to work.

If anyone else is treated violently or lied to by an officer please report the matter to both internal affairs and the civilian complaint review board as I am in the process of doing.

If you lack insurance, a motorcycle license, or up to date registration your motorcycle will be impounded.

They are shutting down sections of roadways and approaching motorcyclists armed with an extented baton.

Be very careful. In three years of rush hour commuting I have never had any kind of law inforcement issue until now.

 

sounds lame

 

Oh maaaan, this **** sucks

you guys should be riding as groups all the time with machine guns

 

that sucks man, glad i don't live in NY........

 

everyone who stuntrides should know by now that cops are catchin on to **** and crackin down all over...


gotta keep your **** legit or expect to get the book thrown at you if your caught

 

last month of June and first month of July? WTF

 

thanks for the info and sorry to hear about the bad news. Impounding ur motorcycle for lacking insurance, license or up to date registration??? UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

 

cops using unjust force against a rider .....whats new

 

NYPD does this **** every year. Thousands of calls and emails to the internal affairs, state reps, and the AMA and its still the same.

 

i had a cop run out from behind a bunch of parked cars and try to close line me once , i was gonna go back and smack the **** out of him for being an idiot but then i remembered he was a cop...lol

the best part was at the time about 20 bikes had flown by him at like 150 and i for what ever reason at the time i was actually doing the speed limit...

 

Well ofcourse he was gonna take it out on you

 

they do checkpoints around here and every bike that is on the road riding by has to pull over and they try to do decible checks on the exhaust outside which isnt accurate, they check paperwork and look over bikes. It sucks cause u have to deal with the **** and when you turn around when you see them pulling over bikes they come after you. Whats the problem if your out riding enjoying a nice day and you have to sit there and go through a checkpoint. FTP

 

I 495 (on LI) is the only highway ive ever seen with blocked off mandatory check points for ALL motorcycles & ive seen them do it alot, b/c of this i no longer ride on the 495 ... got chased during one of them and they had every exit for the next 10 exits blocked off until i found an open one they were deff goin hard to catch me

 

this makes me want to ride with no plate . . . they only have a description ill ride at the speed limit and then when the oppertuity arises check out . . . . huh huh any takers lol

 

I was in my whip the other day on the grand central parkway. Mad traffic coz the cops blocked off the highway to pull bikes over. Dude was lane splitting coz of the traffic and they ran in front of him and turned his bike off and made him walk the bike to the side. ****** pigs. Wouldnt have been traffic if they werent ****** **** up and the dude wouldnt have been lane splitting.

And dam, sucks about 495. I started taking that recently coz I got a state trooper on the northern state that told me if he sees my bike again w no signals, mirrors or inspection that hes taking it.

 

this is nothing new for nyc auto crime down there has always been harsh there...
last year i was down there at my buddys shop in yonkers an we went out and there was a cop on the other side of the highway driving the wrong way trying to get a plate or somthing cuz my lou was doin a wheelie.... now who was more reckless the jackass driving the wrong way or the guy doin the 55 mph wheelie????

and if your commin to xdl and you have a stolen motor/stamped frame (they will acid test) STAY HOME you will go to jail!!!

 

Sucks to hear others are dealing with even worse **** than me. I agree, first hand I've seen cops do incredibly dangerous things like driving against traffic in particular to try to catch sportbikes to no avail. Remember that case in Suffolk.... Innocent person killed for no good reason by an out of control cop.

Busting on people for doing bassically nothing wrong only turns good people into criminals and creats an unnecessary bunch of costly bullshit. Oh yea, and makes good young professions like myself leave the state

I had no clue about them shutting down the LI Expressway. Thats just nuts. For three years I've commuted from the absolute bottom to the absolute top of Queens on avg 50 miles a day, 9 months out of the year. Never any accidents, tickets, and in all honestly minimal bullshit with cars and relatively few close calls. All of a sudden they're on this new trip and I'm facing 9 pts on my license even after I get two charges that I can definately have dropped, dropped.

Whats next, are they going to go after road bicyclist for running traffic lights. They're already in full force on the water, in the woods going after quads and dirtbikes. Damn it people, why do people keep buying municipal bonds to fund this bullshit. Five years from now the Island's economy will be in total ruins because they've loaded this area down with soo much debt that practically no one can afford to raise a family here.

 

that sh*t sucks man..... move out west!!!

 

it sucks just about anywere in the city westchester and fairfield county.... noise violations... cops hate motorcycles on any ct highway.... its never been this bad!!!!!!
trying to pull you over for not having a light on your plate... tag isnt visable... its always some bull **** reson...

 

How ****** far west you gotta go to get away from this ****......
Vancouver Canada Westcoast cops are stupid here like thaT..... RCMP are bad vancouver police not so bad but some are closet ****
