does anyone know what the laws are in Florida as far as how your bike has to be set up? mirrors turn signals? and other laws. want to bring down my new lot bike but want to ride the streets a little with it too so i want to make sure i have it set up for down there.....

 

i know last year i was rockin the SF'ed R6.... had no mirrors and no cluster.... and the cops never messed with me.... even had one come up to me and was askin questions. apperently he had a R6. but i know they tightened up on some laws down there

 

ok lets see ... they are strict . mirror is needed i grab a bicycle mirror from wall mart every year . make sure your lights are on during the day ( been pulled over / written for that ) and use the hand signals . not sure how there gonna be with plates this year since i heard they passed a new law , but mine is right under my tail light and ive never had a problem

 

if you have a cage and 12 bar on your **** prepare to get pulled over......ALOT

ive lived in daytona the past 3 years and every bikeweek and biketoberfest i usually end up with around 2-5 tickets

and it gets worse every event

 

so do i need to have turn signals on my bike or can i just use hand signals?

 

turnsignals werent required last time i knew

 

here this probably can help you out wit all the questions you may have...

Article from today so I think all that **** still applies.

 

god damn kinda seems like florida sucks *** for bikers

 

Yeah, seems like they aren't making these for safety. It sounds like they are discriminating and looking for a way to make revenue.

 

yes and definetly

and you dont need turn signals here, but they will still hassle you about them because most of the cops dont even know the bike laws right

 

Im making the trip down to bike week from toronto canada for the first time. Should be a good time...

Anyone know when and where i can catch a few stunt shows down there?

Also im flying down so i gotta leave my bike behind.. Anyone know where to rent a sport bike down there?

 

so wheelies are a legit $$1140 ticket? that law is passed and already on the books?

 

thanks for the help

 

only if they catch you

 

lol dude daytonas hot, theres a time n place for all that... daytona never struck me as a place to bounce on the law.


im gonna do half Bike week and half Spring Break this year, any recommendations for Spring Break?

 

Spring break in panama city we have a blast there and lots of stunt spots thats my home town and as far as dumb *** laws they are busting our asses with it lots of people took it to the track and got off the streets because of it if your tag isnt horizontal with the riding surface so many inches high illuminated with a white light can be seen from 50ft and some other garbage its a 1000 ticket as well and the fine gets worse so if one writes you on monday for it on tues if another gets you its a 2400 ticket and the 3rd they is 3g+ the suspend your license for so many years and on the wheelie thing or speeds any thing 50 over the limit they TAKE your bike no gettin it back i bounced on them and i have 1300 in fines and the have my 2003 R1 i can never get back it will be sold at an auction

 

They have been getting more strict, but I still love it out there. There is a great event coming up in March, that I just booked. I'm staying at the Daytona Bahama House if anyone is going to be out there. I just booked it today for a great price. Check it out if you need somewhere to stay.
