The first time I was pulled over on my motorcycle for speeding, the officer gets out of his patrol car and asks for my license.

I give him my motorcycle permit, which clearly states that I can lawfully ride a motorcycle, and he runs the permit, and then asks, "Why don't you have a motorcycle license?"

I tell him that a permit has all the advantages of the motorcycle license, just a shorter duration of validity.

Anyways, somehow he got confused and thought that I had no motorcycle endorsement, and just a driving permit for a car. he then makes a show of "letting me off easy" for not having a motorcycle endorsement.

The next day, I go to the DMV and ask them to search my permit, and they say I do indeed have the motorcycle endorsement I believed I had.

I've found that it's quite hard to "really show" law enforcement anything when they have the citation notebook in their hand.

i've been pulled over once and it was in my car... i guarantee she thought she might have a drunk driver cause i was going the speed limit.. but had a brake light out. It was about 12:30am. Too bad i was just getting off work. Said I'd fix it in the morning and i was on my way. No ticket.. woo hoo!!!

We call them skid lids, helmet doesn't really apply.

I personally coined the phrase "skull skillet" just to be different.
