Hi; An opinion and advice sought about a repair order that my son received today. We were both riding our bikes I was on 2009 Ninja 650R and my son on Ninja ZX-6R, enjoying the friendly competition before he heads to college. When he misjudged his fuel and his gas ran out. I told him OK, just stay put and I will get some gas. It took me about 20-25 minutes to get it. In the same time a cop on motorcycle stops, and asks my son what is the issue ? He told him that he ran out of gas. Instead of helping him with gas this cop starts to check on his motorcycle, brakes, lights , even tire pressure , looks like he did not like my son, who is a mild mannered boy of Asian Indian origin. My son had made two revision to the bike, he had changed tail lights with new " Fender eliminator type " kit. In the end cop says this is illegal, he has to give him a ticket for it and he has to restore it back to original and have it certified by a cop or a mechanic.
During this time, I was away, or I would have lost my cool. Any way that messed up his and mine evening, destroyed his last weekend before college. No wonder people don't like cops.
But my question is " Has this happened to anyone else ? " This product was bought over internet, it did not say it was illegal.
BTW we live in socialist state of Maryland. And is there anyway to fight the tyranny of state ? Will the company who sold it to us help in any way ?
Thanks. And warning to other riders in state of MARYLAND. Be very careful before any modification.
