yes, we're on 699 W. San Antonio street.

not sure if I'd call it obscure, its a pretty big building that used to be the Pontiac, GMC, Buick dealer....

It's just so random that it's amongst all the houses and it's not really a place I would ever have thought a motorcycle shop would be, that's all.

And I mean obscure in a good way.

I was recently rewarded for my Mopac passing prowess.... 8mph over the limit! I surely must be going to hell for it. Or defensive driving.

What is the speed limit on Mopac? 65? I guess I should know that.

It's not just there, it's in the NE too.

Since money from the state went down or away, there's been a shit-ton of cops out writing EVERYTHING.

Not about revenue generation my ass.

Yup, seems to be nationwide... I posted a thread about it in the street riding section a couple months ago when i noticed cops working our little one-stoplight town three weeks running
