Why is the Fun Police screwing with me?
Been pulled over 7 times since September... for nothing This is the first fairing wearing sport bike I've had (except for the Grampy Grey Concours). My other vintage bikes get no notice.... but the RZ.... They are all assholian and then when they figure out I'm not 19YO, they begin backpeddling.. WTF?

Re: Why is the Fun Police screwing with me?
Lol.. with my 1st RZ I was 18 yrs old, added Toomey pipes & lost my licence in less than 3 months.
I wont go into details, but my friends & me had a few or more drivers licences ...each and I recived probably 3 dozen "well deserved" tickets , my friends did the same . Tickets would immediately be dropped in the trash or on the spot without any care nor worry of consequence..
But the Toomeys attract the heat, like yellow jackets to a picnic. Honestly (in my driving career) I've been pulled over probably 100 times, the cars & bikes and my style, kinda demand it....lol I'm getting better , perhaps by the time im 75 it will start to slow down

Mine came with pipes, I know the fun police are going wanta talk to me too. Only reason they haven't yet is I just got my
first rz.
Re: Why is the Fun Police screwing with me?
I took a modern Guzzi and made it look older (?), ok more classic. Then gave it loud pipes like old bikes used to have.
Fun Police pass over it thinking its pre-ADR (emission/noise crap).
Hopefully they do the same with the RS485, but full fairing, RED, screaming pipes ........................ and fast! ???????

I'd rather ride a slow bike fast, than a fast bike slow.

I too, had: two tickets before I had my first 16yo drivers license, and dozens of outstanding performance awards.Questo vecchio rz wrote:Lol.. with my 1st RZ I was 18 yrs old, added Toomey pipes & lost my licence in less than 3 months.
