I think that is why he said "IF its true ." But knowing PDX. I wouldn't put it pass them to do something similar...

Hey- I didn't know if it was true or not.
BUT if it was, I wanted to give everyone here on this forum a heads up on this just in case.
I wasn't trying to pull anyones leg... (well maybe flytes:naughty: ) just relaying something I thought it may be of concern for OSB members.
So sue me if it was a bunk Email.:twofinger: I was just looking out for the crew.

It's all good. You're still new in the sense that you haven't made it through a full riding season on the forum yet. If something like that WAS up I have faith that our LEO members would have let us know.

That's funny, good catch Flyte.

You haven't got it all yet.
I think you still have some of that "brown" left on your nose.:moon:

there might be something to what you heard,, on the local t.v. news (kmtr)here in eugene, there was a story yesterday, that the state police will be heavily patrolling between aurora and portland sometime this week, to slow down traffic,, and are scheduled to do it again through out the summer in various locations around the state.:crash:

[Flyte Risk]

State and local authorities are patrolling more heavily this week in that area but not as part of this email. Every year right before the summer travel season they do a "share the road" campain aimed at getting the dumbass's to "drive safely aroung the big rigs". Typically they look for following distance and aggressive driving around semi's in addition to overall speed.

Went to Fort Lewis today, lots of smokies out and about with many pulled-over vehicles (and Semi's) on the Hi-Way!

Better to have brown on one's nose than a ticket on one's driving record :rad:

[Major Agusta]

I speed to that! and the brown is just part of the tan
