Oh and another thing

I am getting reports that the harassment is ongoing in Grafton, IL. If you choose to go there then be very careful. I have been told they are mainly getting people who rap their pipes through town. If you get stopped do not rev your bikes for the officers I have heard of instances in the past where some folks were asked to do this then given tickets. If you are not doing it normally then you shouldn't get a ticket for doing it when a cop asks you to. That seems like getting stopped in a cage then the cop says show me how fast this thing will go and then they write you a ticket for speeding it isn't right. Also if you are ticketed contact ABATE they may be able to help or at least use your cases to show harassment. Finally while I like riding up to Grafton as much as the next person but if they are going to allow us to be harassed, then it seems like they don't truly want our business. Motorcyclists can have a large financial impact on the places we go either by spending or not spending. If you don't like the way you are being treated in a place then don't go there. If they truly want your business things will change.
