Dear editor:
Motorcyclists beware - NY state troopers on the warpath!
Last year a friend and I went to Canada's Friday The 13th motorcycle rally. As we attempted to cross the Peace Bridge - thing's became not so peaceful. NY state trooper's directed every motorcycle to a parking lot where they performed a NY State Inspection! That's right - if you were licensed in PA - it didn't matter. To quote a trooper..."well your in NY state now"! I was fined $60.00 for non-factory pipes. Mine aren't loud, they have mufflers. The troopers didn't care if they were loud, or, quiet - they didn't even listen to them. Per NY state law - they were not stock! Same goes for helmets, or any other "safety equipment" item - they are all an equipment violation amounting to a $60.00 fine!
I spoke with NY state ABATE officers and they said one of NY State's troopers was killed going 100+ MPH in an SUV following an idiot biker - so now they apparently have reason to have it in for ALL motorcyclists. That, and NY State can use the money.
Another friend was just plucked out of a moving line of traffic in NY, for an "equipment" violation & $60 fine.
Check it out for yourselve's fellow riders - before helping NY State's economy.
When my friend & I said we won't ride in NY State any longer, the trooper said "Wow, NY State is really going to miss the business of two biker's"! Apparently, they are ignorant of the amount of motorcyclists out there now, and, just how much money we spend when traveling/vacationing.
Also, NY State ABATE told me trooper's are "staking out" all rally's so as to capitalize on large number's of motorcyclists. Since last year, I have been thanking PA trooper's at all PA motorcycle rally's for being decent toward motorcyclists.
Ride free friends,

They should worry about violations that kill people like drunk drivers,reckless drivers douche bags on cell phones while driving and other dangerous moving violations.
