So, the N.Y. State Police are claiming these are "Safety Checks", huh?!

Well HECK, everybody "knows" that ALL motorcycles are relatively "unsafe" compared to cars and trucks!!!

And so, I'm surprised ALL the motorcycles they stopped weren't taken away!!!

(though the above is meant as a joke of course, I wonder how much these road blocks were instituted as a REACTION to a lot of EXCESSIVELY LOUD motorcycle exhausts that many motorcyclists think sound so "cool"...and NO, I'm NOT going to get into ANY debate around here now about how some of your EXCESSIVELY LOUD exhausts supposedly "save your life" everyday out there, folks!...I'm JUST sayin' here that often WE, the motorcycle riding public, bring down this kind of CRAP upon ourselves...THAT'S ALL!!!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
