I was not aware of those laws in VA. Regardless, I highly doubt a cop would write you a ticket for that crap.

You know you can legally run lights now if they skip or don't change for you.

God bless VA.

Yea I know about the law. But F 2 cycles. Depending on the light that could be like 6+ mins. Ill give it one cycle then just go for it. It just sucks bc some intersections you can't just run the light too much traffic so then I have to wait for a cage to pull behind me. But yea wtf at the people who pull up with like a bus length btwn me and them. Paranoid much?

I had a cage pull up NEXT to me about 2 car lengths back. Wouldn't actuate the light. Had to wave them up because we each had like 5-6 cars behind us.

Buddy of mine just tried to adjust my stock rearset on my 08 1000 and fucked up.....he had the bolt as tight as it would go and the bracket was still sliding back and forth with ease...so he tried one more turn and this happened....



Trying to figure out how to get the rest of the bolt out and have no idea how..

As strange as it sounds, because VB(specifically those working the Ocean Front) cops LOVE to bust fuckers, if the bikes had out of state plates, they may not have wanted to go through the trouble. They seem to prefer to bust on locals(Va Plates) that are taking part of the festivities, knowing that they aren't going anywhere, and will bring in revenue. . . the tourists get away with a warning. Would hate for tourists to think they can get a ticket in a resort town that would deter future revenue.
