Angels. The guys told me, they were pulling over bikes left and right and
searching everyone. One of the guys said the Sheriff looked like the one in

Cool Hand Luke.

Hi - just for information for the list
the Fontana rally of several years ago was very tough and discouraging. what
was said was close enough.
I would like to say that this fall - the police in that area ( BMW RA Rally
was held in sept - two weeks or less after WTC- in Morgantown NC) were very
nice . I am from NY - the people were super too - as soon as they saw the
license plate they came right over to us. However , coming up the interstate
in VA - I was ticketed with lots of prejudice- as a motorcyclist by a
sheriff- I was fifth in line doing the same speed as everyone else. It was
$66.00 for 78 in a 65 zone. sometimes it does not pay to wear conspicuous
colors. The officer said it was the third motorcycle he had ticketed in his
career. Yeah right.
