Do cops pull ninja 250s over on the highway???

(For those of you wondering about the icons, it's a ninja 250 losing in a race with an old man in a wheelchair.)

Count me in weather permitting. Just a little bitterness to share on the last time I followed the weather websites 2-18% precipitation ....had me riding pissed off in a hurricane Ohio minus extremely strong wind. I know the weather people are trying to predict the Future, but damn. Ok, I feel a little better now.

Holy shit!!!! Riding 90-95 on that little 250 that owners typically report ~100MPH being top speed on? There's the problem! That wasn't oil, that poor little bike was bleeding to death!!!!!!

One of the cops shot twice around the 3:38min mark....I guess those were the warning shots . Looks like they don't mess around in Cinci, especially in Blue Ash. Just want to throw this out there....but who's bright idea was it to jump on the hood of a run away car .

I hate to be that guy, but if you are going 200mph and get clocked by a cop...might as well maintain speed because if it takes him longer than 20s to get moving, you'll already be more than a mile away and out of sight. Plus, if you pull over - most likely you are screwed...and if you keep going (with a chance of getting away) - but you get caught, that's right, you guessed it, you are still screwed. I've heard stories from people saying they were going over 100mph and pulled over for the cop...the cop told them to just slow it down and let them go without anything, but this was in NE Ohio - NOT Columbus. It seems like in Columbus, a lot of the coppers aren't very nice to Sport Bikes even if you are just cruising, hanging out, or testing to see if the bike does what it's maker says it can do :grin: haha.

I just got a ticket for window tint not even two weeks ago...and my tint is only 35%. I was in the OSU campus area...on my way to pick up my bike at the storage area in order to go riding. Needless to say, it ruined my night and I didn't go riding because I was too pissed off. What pissed me off the most was that the officer had me roll down my back window so she could check that too...I wanted to tell her to kick rocks because in Ohio I can spray paint my back windows black if I wanted to and she can't do anything about it. Ahhh , oh yeah and her stupid machine said my tint was 33% and that's not right....they are 35%.

Well, bottom line is I paid the ticket....all $110 of it. by CPD. Can't wait to move to FL...my tint is legal there and I can ride my motorcycle all year around!

Good time for me to join in on this I guess.

The fact that this is a "white only" tree is a subject of debate. Whites just so happen to sit there a majority of the time. People (especially youth) tend to self segregate with people they have something in common with. Race, skin color, religion are all divisions that are constantly acted on. The tree is aplace where mostly white kids happen to sit.

The principal tried to expel the kids that hung the nooses but the superintendent reduced it to the suspension. I was really confused as to why until I saw a comment posted by a student at Jenna that said the nooses where hung as part of a hang'em high (cowboy themed) prank related to an upcoming game against a rival school. Apparently this common area commonly has this sort of thing going on although I'm sure nooses haven't been hung there before. I guess this tree is in the center of that courtyard. This just adds to confusion I suppose but could explain why it was reduced.

see above. also it's been said that there isn't a connection between the nooses and the jumping. The media and others (guess who) seem to be drawing the connection rather baselessly.

Read above again. It's not as clear cut and jumping to conclusions.

1) The kid that got jumped didn't have anything to do with the nooses.

2) I read an account that claimed the black kid that it's suggested had the nooses against (couldn't think of a better way to put it) was trying to pull the Jena6 off the kid getting jumped.

3) There's plenty of accounts of white people being tried and convicted with attempted murder (with a deadly weapon) for beat downs just like this.

3 a) If you shoot at someone and miss, they may be uninjured but your still guilty of attempted murder. The amont of damage done in the attack has nothing to do with the charge.

3 b) 6 guys, continuing to to beat someone can be cause for attempted murder charges. Continuing to beat them after they are unconscious only gives more weight to it.

4) All 6 of these kids should go to prison for a short time. A beating is a beating and rightfully is against the law.

There's more but I'll leave it for another response I think.

Thanks for clearing that up....just for the record, I don't think that the 6 kids who jumped the one kid should get off without punishment. If you want to make an example and set a presence of what will not be tolerated...hang nooses = expelled....jump someone = jail time. So, when the next tries some stuff like this, they will know what is coming.

Now that I am caught up on this thread....

Why weren't the kids that established the "white only" tree spoken to and/or suspended?

Why weren't the kids that hung the nooses reprimanded by expulsion?

The message could have been sent when those things happened, but instead you wait until a group of kids jump one kid for whatever reason....why is this?

The whole situation is just irritating. People talk about how history is soooooooo important because we can learn from our mistakes and successes, but what have we learned? -Apparently not much. During the racist acts during the 50s and 60s, we should have learned that "whites only" or "blacks only" or hanging nooses or burning crosses or burning buildings all just escalated the problem...people see color. So, in the case of these kids, if you show that you are willing to reprimand those who want to claim "whites only" trees and hang nooses, then maybe just maybe there will be less riots and/or racial beat downs.

Regardless of what people say...hanging nooses resembles a premeditated act. Hate to bring it up, but history once again says...Columbine, 9-11, and VaTech had signs of the acts being premeditated, but yet we chose to over look the premeditation because.....?

Yeah well sitting at a traffic light or in a traffic jam and some asshole rearends you whats the diff? You may not survive that either. Or some idiot blows a stop sign....or someone pulls out of a parking lot in front of you...all of these can be as deadly as 180mph....although the 180 would be your own fault but dead is dead....got out on your own terms.

...Touché!!

Sounds like an overall shitty situation but its fucking stupid trying to pull someone over. If someone tried pulling me over, I guarantee Im coming off my bike swinging or worse because if someone tries to pull my over and that person is not a cop, the only thing I can assume is that they want to fight me, rob me, or worse... .. Thats about the biggest sign of road rage aggression there is.. someone is lucky they didnt get a gun pulled on them or worse..

Come on guy...you mean to tell me if you are surrounded by 10 bikes, you are going to hop off swinging....

I was there and the odds were not good for the 3 Harleys, so it was dumb on their part...what kind of 3 person pack of idiots pick with one person who is riding with a group of +10. Either way it was a lesson for the one Harley who got pulled over...get some new friends to ride with because they left you to get pummeled after pulling an unnecessary act.

As for laws about concealed weapons....what's the law against a concealed Louisville Slugger or better yet a Flail? I know what some of you are thinking,"...how do you plan on concealing that...", just be creative and I'm sure you can think of something.

I'll be there...probably all layered up because it's COLD!

Accidentally sent no picture...but I can't get the attachment to work anyways. I tried shrinking the picture and it still didn't work after the size was below the allowed size.
