Well, I was just reading that Georgia has a mandatory turn signal law for bikes above the year model 1971. I guess I better get busy putting some on the Sporty. Che's got no signals.Does anyone know about having a vertical plate in Georgia?

Horizonal only! The Law there was the same as Florida's last year! Florida just changed it back to either Hor. or vert.
On a personal note Ga. sucks big fat one's, last time I rode the Beast there I got pulled over 7 times in 90 miles, Thank's Ga. State Troopers!
Guess they don't like BIKERS!!!OLD SKOOL BIKERS RULE, WE DO WHAT IT TAKES AND LIKE IT!!!

Loud Pipes on each stop, 2 stops where for the forks and pipes and one stop the trooper said everything was illegal from front to back and I needed to leave the state.....forks to long/rake unsafe, pipes to loud, frame to low, tires worn out, (brand new tires!) signal lights incorrectly mounted....etc!
Got two tickets out of 7 stop's, Loud pipes and improper head gear! Guess my skid lid didn't pass in Ga. as a helmet?!?! Both ticket's came on the first stop and when I showed the cop's the ticket's on the other stop's, they said that they would only issue me another warning and to fix the bike and leave the state!
Riding a stock bike is better than riding a Chopper in Ga. Glad I wasn't flying colors....God only knows what would have happened to me then!OLD SKOOL BIKERS RULE, WE DO WHAT IT TAKES AND LIKE IT!!!
