If I get to a light when it is red, I will wait for a whole cycle, meaning when it goes green,red, and then green again. If it does not turn for me, I go then. I suppose in some areas, that may take 2 minutes.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

I'm just going to print it out and put it in my wallet so if I ever do get stopped I can show it to him.  Wait!!  That might not work.  You know what they think of people who think they are smarter than the cop.

Illinois has a law like that. I wish Missouri would adopt it. I get caught at lights all the time that have the weight sensor. I usually try to pull forward and get a car behind me to pull onto the sensor. But a lot of the time there is not any cars behind me, or the driver will not pull up. Sometimes I will just make a right turn, and then turn around.

You showoffs with all your fancy traffic signals. ;)

I've heard we have that law in VA, but never looked in to it. Like Tools, I just turn right and loop around. Always easy on a bike anyway.

The law in Va is you have to wait 2 cycles or 5 min., which ever happens first.
It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

95% of Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road... The other 5% made it home.
