Tonight after I left bike night at quaker steak and lube and were going down col. glen. There was a "team mullet" drag bike in front of all of us. I think it was a suzuki gs1000. great looking bike. anywho, I was riding along at the very back of the pack doing like 35. and passed a fairborn police officer. and some guy on another bike takes off and does god knows how fast. im still just cruising along. next thing i know im getting pulled over! He tells me hes pulling me over for having the visor up on my helmet, and not having saftey glasses. I suppose its legit, thats the law. I wear regular eye glasses, but thats not good enough. He takes my licences and comes back and tells me I need to get home its almost dark. I ask him what that has to do with anything and he told me that my licences says novice. that means i cant ride on the highway, after dark, with a passenger, and whatever else the laws are for a permit. He continued to tell me that i just had my permit and did not have my motorcycle endorsement. I showed it to him on my licences, and even showed him my card of completion of the MSF course(grantid its just a peice of paper and doesnt mean much) but it got me my endorcement.Needless to say i just got a warning, and told to get home because it was almost dark, Is this kind of stuff common practice out of fairborn officers to not know what the rules are on such subjects?? If so I dont think I will frequent bike night as much as planned.
The face shield reason the cop gave you is BS. Eyeglasses qualify as "Other" protective devices, see below. Yea you have to scroll a bit but I bolded it so it's easer to find. Feel free to print this out and keep it under the seat.
4511.53 Operation of bicycles, motorcycles and snowmobiles.
(A) For purposes of this section, “snowmobile” has the same meaning as given that term in section 4519.01 of the Revised Code.
(B) No person operating a bicycle shall ride other than upon or astride the permanent and regular seat attached thereto or carry any other person upon such bicycle other than upon a firmly attached and regular seat thereon, and no person shall ride upon a bicycle other than upon such a firmly attached and regular seat.
No person operating a motorcycle shall ride other than upon or astride the permanent and regular seat or saddle attached thereto, or carry any other person upon such motorcycle other than upon a firmly attached and regular seat or saddle thereon, and no person shall ride upon a motorcycle other than upon such a firmly attached and regular seat or saddle.
No person shall ride upon a motorcycle that is equipped with a saddle other than while sitting astride the saddle, facing forward, with one leg on each side of the motorcycle.
No person shall ride upon a motorcycle that is equipped with a seat other than while sitting upon the seat.
No person operating a bicycle shall carry any package, bundle, or article that prevents the driver from keeping at least one hand upon the handle bars.
No bicycle or motorcycle shall be used to carry more persons at one time than the number for which it is designed and equipped, nor shall any motorcycle be operated on a highway when the handle bars or grips are more than fifteen inches higher than the seat or saddle for the operator.
No person shall operate or be a passenger on a snowmobile or motorcycle without using safety glasses or other protective eye device(1). No person who is under the age of eighteen years, or who holds a motorcycle operator’s endorsement or license bearing a “novice” designation that is currently in effect as provided in section 4507.13 of the Revised Code, shall operate a motorcycle on a highway, or be a passenger on a motorcycle, unless wearing a protective helmet on the person’s head, and no other person shall be a passenger on a motorcycle operated by such a person unless similarly wearing a protective helmet. The helmet, safety glasses, or other protective eye device shall conform with regulations prescribed and promulgated by the director of public safety(2). The provisions of this paragraph or a violation thereof shall not be used in the trial of any civil action.
© Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting the carrying of a child in a seat or trailer that is designed for carrying children and is firmly attached to the bicycle.
(D) Except as otherwise provided in this division, whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor. If, within one year of the offense, the offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to one predicate motor vehicle or traffic offense, whoever violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree. If, within one year of the offense, the offender previously has been convicted of two or more predicate motor vehicle or traffic offenses, whoever violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the third degree.
Effective Date: 01-01-2004; 09-21-2006; 2008 HB562 09-22-2008
So politely tell the police that you think the law states otherwise and you will see them in court over it.
Keep in mind Mayors court isn't really a court it is a "Hearsay" court.
It is not a "Court Of Record" so you can appeal any ruling of that [sic] court.
Quote the statute and I'll bet they back down.
(1) Other protective device is not defined. It is simply "OTHER"!!! It is not defined as a face shield nor can it be construed as such.
(2) If it has not been banned by the director it can be assumed to be approved is one way of looking at it.
Getting the Dept of public safety to rule on it will prolly never happen.

Yep, that.
I took an interest in the topic of this thread as a real topic, the flame war was just a bonus.
I ride an old style bike so new technical forms are of interest to me.
Plus I haven't ridden in 20 years up until the last 2.
So I'm kinda old school myself.
Not too old to learn a new trick or two though!
Thanks for the save of the other thread.!

edit: just a thought, but there has been plenty of time to see it happen before hand. I'm going to try to start flashing my brights at them to see if it makes any difference.
WARNING!! Flashing your brights might make them think you are telling them it is OK to go ahead and cut you off!
You might wonder how I know that, then again you might not.

I am doing contract work now. Not very exciting but it's money.
Trying to get some updated certs so I can get back into sys administration stuff.
Last job took me so far off track I ended up doing cold fusion programming.
What is everyone else doing?

Did anyone get the pics from the guy that really knew about riding position?
He seemed to make a lot of sense on why one style was better than the other.
This Gunner dude seemed to be trying to do the old school hang which works on an old school bike with old school tires. Even if his example was kinda lame watch some old races and they all did that. Well they did it a lot better, but it was the same kind of hang.
A modern bike has such different geometry, power band, seat position, center of gravity and lets not forget better tires! Old school just doesn't work on todays sport bikes. They are vastly superior in every way I can think of.

IDK if Nick is online but I came across some. It's really not that hard to find his album.
Why is he doing that?
He isn't even going fast!
Ah, maybe his leg is hot and he's trying to cool off?

IT stuff

I wonder if that would still be a strike, him not actually touching the bat when the pitch went by:confused:

Your on my side of town.
Ride to where? Or just ride around?
I'll prolly be out there riding somewhere anyway.

So I bought this vertical plate mount
And I'm thinking I need to add BoltFX or some sort of light over the plate... I haven't done ANYTHING remotely like wiring in well over a decade...
Any tutorials, tips, tricks or offers to help on wiring some leds to the brake light? (that way it's on when the bike is on and pulses when I tap the brakes)
Thanks guys!
I've seen a module you can add to your brake light wiring that does that for a stock bulb.
It's on ebay for about $15. Just look for motorcycle parts and it'll pop up there somewhere.

+1 for somebody watching over you. Heal fast!

djisle and I were the only ones to show up at either bike night that I saw.
We met at the Black Hat and then went to the other one.
"The Worst Bar" Is now named "Streets Bar" under new ownership and the new owner is a biker, cool!
I had a nice chat with him. Seems like a good guy.
Still have a LUAU Pig roast happening at the Black Hat Saturday!
Live band, free food!
Can't beat that with a stick!
Rain sux!!
