Thumbs up to unmarked statie!!!

[Degsy]

Coming back from NJMP with Jayspeed in my truck and his bike in the back, we were stopped at 3am by an unmarked state cruiser and another marked cruiser pulled up shortly after.

Cop shines wicked bright light into my mirror from behind so i can't see a thing, then approaches from passenger side and I have license and reg ready. he says thanks and asks if I know why he stopped me. I say 'no' and he says "well, it's 3am and you're driving a truck on the backroads of East Taunton with a sportbike in the back with no license plate, you have to admit it looks a bit suspicious. What's the deal?"

So, I tell him we were at a trackday in New Jersey and we are on our way home, and thank him for being vigilant about bike thefts. Jay hands the cop the reg for the bike and the cops goes back and runs the licenses/registrations. Cop comes back couple of minutes later, hands back documents and says "Have a good night, guys"

Now, that's policework.

Wow, dont cops have anything better to do than harrass people that may or may not be stealing a bike? What assholes.


Way to go Staties. Just proves not all cops are out to get bikers.

what if that was your bike on his pick up? what if jay was a bike thief?

[Jim]

well what if it's a bike with no registration? i guess the number plates no the bike would be your only defense

VIN number. The cop checked the vin against the reg. the cop can also run a vin to see if it's stolen and who last owned it.

Thumbs up to them!

Nice, I had a good statie encounter the other day: I'm rolling to my local MX track and there's a 1/2 mile section where I have to use the road. I idle down the breakdown lane. Anyway, last week I pull out into the breakdown lane and there's a femal statie coming straight at me. She gives me a long look, I stop on the grass and nod to her. To my amazement, she rolls right on by. Thanks statie!

I have the title to mine, but never did anything with it when the previous owner signed it since it's track only. Maybe I should?

thats what i'm thinking about. someone with a track only bike that's never been registered. not like someone would carry their title with them in the car to prove they own it. but i bet your gear, the number plates, and a VIN check would prove your story

[Pittenger5]

What I, I mean, a friend of mine ... umm yah, thats it, a friend of mine, never ran the VIN, uh oh. Guess I wont be goin to NJ anytime soon

NAH - you're fine.. no need paying sales tax for no reason... unless the guy you bought it from stole it

[R1]

they can run the vin and see if it comes up stolen i believe....

If it doesnt come up as a stolen bike then its assumed ok!

[VinceF2]

NAH - you're fine.. no need paying sales tax for no reason... unless the guy you bought it from stole it

or unless you want to legally own it...

[brendanp]

I think as in all scratched off Identification #'s the question is then raised unless proof is provided....

Nope, 'cos I try not to lie to cops.

[Pittenger5]

Is there somewhere online you can check vins? Now my curiosity is peaked.

Not that I know of. Know any cops? That's how I do it, I have a friend that runs any number I want for me.
