It's the same thing every summer... Now that summer weather is here, I'm hearing more performance motorcycles traveling in high speeds on Lake Shore Drive at night. I can actually hear them "opening it up" as I type this. Has anyone had any close encounters with these clowns? At least a few of them seem to die in firey crashes every year... It almost seems like natural selection to me.

Where the hell are the cops while this is going on?

Motorcycles traveling at 120 mph is at least as dangerous as anything else going on around here right now.

What I want to know is, in response to Avenger, since when has Chicago passed an opportunity to ticket anyone?

That's what gets me.

^^They're usually pretty slack about traffic offenses of all types... If you're white.

^Uhh what is this about?^

Ridiculous.

So by your logic when I have been ticketed by black and hispanic officers in the past the reason I do not get away with tickets is because I am "white?"

...and how do you know they are traveling 120 MPH?

What do you do sit out there with a radar gun?

Come on.

The few times I have ever been pulled over by a black or hispanic officer I was ticketed EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Where does that leave your argument now?
