That never gets old does it? I mean, after all, I've only admitted it time and time again on this board.
I'm not singling anyone in particular here. But obviously there have been enough calls, complaints, etc. to warrant a crack down on bikers.
It's quite simple really. Don't do anything to give them a reason to pull you over. Yeah, the gun was probably a little over the top, but the helicopter is probably the only way to keep up with this guy.
Use your head and a little common sense and you won't find yourself in situations like this.
