legal question about riding
 
Ok so here is the HYPOTHETICAL situation, I was going down one road at 45 mph, and made a right turn onto the other road at 45mph, is that actually illegal since I never broke the speed limit on either road?

that depends entirely on what the cop says :lol:

its really 4 lanes because of the shoulders, freshly paved, an ex thourofare that was closed off on one end, a soon to be built industrial complex without buildings and except for a cop and a few motorcycles there was nobody on it all day, no trees around and you can see the whole area if there is any traffic. Was almost a closed course track.

The cop just happened to be driving by on a parallel street and pulled in with his lights blaring asked everyone for their papers and after yelling at us for speeding around a corner let us go.

if you are dragging knee or just hanging off like a mad man, they can go after you for reckless riding. you can fight it in court, but unfortunately there is nothing you can do in public besides making sure you get witnesses.

My knee never touched the ground.

The cop let us all go, so no harm no foul, but he did say that he could have ticketed us specifically for speeding, which since nobody broke the speed limit doesnt really seem to make sense to me.

He was just being a douche and trying to scare yall into knocking it off. Surprised he didn't go after yall for loitering or some shit being in an abandoned area.

just once when I rode over the yellow line and the back wheel slid a bit, gave me a pucker moment. I wish I could show you how wide the road was, looks liek it was designed to give trucks plenty of wiggle room to turn without hitting any curbs
