My HD story, in ‘97 I had just bought 1990 Sportster, this was the last of the 4 speed, chain drives running open Drag pipes.
I used to work second shift and got out at 1030 PM just about the half way mark to home, there is a huge rock cut in the bend on the way.

Well I was coming up to it slow as I and had seen a Sheriff already had a car pulled over With the berries and cherries flashing.

So I go way to the left and thought I had putted by pretty slow. Once clear I settle in, it’s a quick five miles to city limits.

Just as I get to the five corners to turn right, there is city cop at the far intersection, he watches me pass in front of him and as soon as I do, he lights me up and uses the PA to tell to pull over, this is right in front of the City Mayors bar.
I don’t have a clue why, so he tells me the Sheriff, I had seen earlier radioed ahead to pull me over since I was super loud echoing off the rock cut he had that car pulled over in. I basically must be outlaw or probably gonna speed or do something wrong and to pull me over.
I assured the cop I wasn’t, but he was like just give Me your license and registration.
Remember I just bought this bike had it about 5 days at this point and I had bought from a individual for cash.
Cops comes back, you realize this is registered as a 1990 Honda? Ain’t you riding a Harley?
On. an NYS registration Harley’s are recorded with make of HA/DA that’s it, not spelled out. I was at first WTF did I get ripped off? And then realized he wanted to throw the book at me.
Wait a minute could I see it? He shows me and as nice as could explained that he just couldn’t quite read it correctly and it wasnt Honda at all but it was HA/DA which meant Harley-Davidson.
Luckily he was probably happy I pointed it out before he started writing all the tickets that he thought were coming my way!
