that was bad a$$! rock crawling in FF>>

that is horseshit none the less. and your all right, the only way they could get in and look in your hauler or your truck is IF you give them permission, and they have to have probable cause to even look, probable cause could almost be anything because it is determined as "Officer Descretion" and it is anything that is visable from the officers view. As for the hauler, the beer cans in a trash bag is a bullshit ticket, it is considered trash, and for it to be considered an open container ticket, they have to be within reach of the occupants, (to include truck bed, you can get a ticket for that, but usually wont hold up in court). and yes if they don not have probable cause then NO they can not just search your truck or hauler, and even so, tell them you want a warrant anyway. Most LEO's will even attempt to threaten you with a K9 for drugs, and if it hits and sits, then they can search, but still i would ask for a warrant. Iam a law abiding citizen, and usually i dont care if a police officer wants to search my vehicle, then go right ahead, but if they are a jerk, then i just tell them NO. usually they ask if i have something to hide and i tell them no, i just dont think you need to invade my privacy in hopes to find something to write me a ticket. so....get a warrant...usually ill be on my way within 10 minutes. Anyone who has been pulled over while driving can relate to the sinking feeling that strikes once the multicolor police lights ricochet off the rear-view mirrors and into the drivers sight. Once the cars are parked on the side of the road, the officer confidently strides toward the car and requests paperwork. Then, nonchalantly, he springs the question: Can I search your car? In most cases, the request seems harmless. But in some instances, an individual might be embarrassed to let an officer search his car. The potential shame can come from any number of materials, including intimate items, medical treatments, and LA Clippers memorabilia. Many citizens are unsure about whether or not they must consent to a search of their vehicles. Probable Cause The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution guarantees the right of the people to be secure in their persons . . . and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures. In order for a search to be reasonable in the absence of consent, the officer must have probable cause to believe that a crime has been, is being, or will be committed. Drivers should be familiar with two important probable-cause rules. The first is the plain-sight rule, which says that anything in the cars cabin that the officer can plainly see from outside is fair game. The second is the furtive-gesture rule, which means that an officers observance of actions inside the car that can be reasonably perceived as attempts to destroy or remove evidence gives the officer permission to search. Another common source of probable cause is odor. If an officer smells alcohol or marijuana smoke, he will probably question the driver about it. This line of questioning often results in field sobriety tests. Federal and state Supreme Court opinions from 2005 explore the boundaries of probable cause and police searches. Without Probable Cause In Illinois v. Caballes, 125 S. Ct. 834 (2005), a state trooper stopped the defendant for speeding. While the first officer wrote a warning ticket to the driver, who was sitting in the police car, another agent walked his canine around the defendants car. The canine alerted at the trunk of the car, and the officers searched it. Finding marijuana, the troopers arrested the defendant. Id. The seized evidence was allowed at trial; and the defendant was convicted, sentenced, and fined. The Illinois Supreme Court reversed; but in a 6-2 opinion, the United States Supreme Court reinstated the conviction. Id. The holding in Caballes was: A dog sniff conducted during a concededly lawful traffic stop that reveals no information other than the location of a substance that no individual has any right to possess does not violate the Fourth Amendment. Caballes, __ U.S. at __. What this holding means is that an officer does not need probable cause to use a canine to detect contraband inside a vehicle as long as the detection occurs while the driver is being detained for a lawful purpose. However, the Court warned, A seizure that is justified solely by the interest in issuing a warning ticket to the driver can become unlawful if it is prolonged beyond the time reasonably required to complete that mission. Id. and per the K9 this is a good case to look at: In Lilley v. Arkansas, 2005 WL 1244872 (Ark. 2005), Dealing with the Police The best way to deal with police is to know your rights while remaining polite and respectful. Refusing consent to a search of your vehicle is your right. The police must have probable cause to believe that you are involved in a crime before they search without your consent. The police may detain you only for the period of time that it takes them to complete whatever paperwork or background checks they are lawfully doing. Once the administrative work is finished, you are free to leave unless the police officer places you under arrest for committing a specific crime. Remember to be courteous and cooperative. Misbehavior will only make the police more aggressive; and if you act egregiously enough, your actions can constitute probable cause. The other thing you should almost never do is to admit to breaking the law. An experienced defense attorney can investigate a traffic stop to make sure that every aspect of it was permissible. A lawyer can advise you of remedies in the unfortunate event that the police have violated your rights. If the police have performed an illegal search, an attorney must work to ensure that the evidence they collected be excluded if the case goes to trial. .

not to say that its relavent, but i dont see what the big deal with having 220mph avail. i have had dozens of motorcycles that could do up to 200mph. but no real use for it. the fastest i have been was 198mph, and that was scarey enough. and it dosent matter if its ford, chevy, dodge, if it looks good, runs good then its all good!

i cant wait to order up some pics!

Charley is the way to go to build a bullet proof motor!!!

i use the Trailbikes CT70 Kit (the same one that Mark is using) comes with the 20MM carb, head, cam and piston and cylinder, awesome kit in my opinion!

well if i go with the army,i would only make about 45 or 50K, if i go with KBR and go back to being a mechanic or working on AC units, i could easily make about 150K, the only thing that i would be subjuct to is the occasional motar round to the base. i could sign a year contract or even a 2 year contract, i owuld be turning wrenches on army vehicles. Ill see what happens in the next couple of weeks, it would be nice to do that for 1 year and get caught up on a ton of bills and maybe even a new truck. have that sence of security.

Sadistic Pig had the fastest bike out of all of ours at 37mph, mine at 36mph, Skinner with 32mph, ISBB smoked in at 25mph..so here is how it looked at my house. bringing out the neighbors to see grown adults on kids bikes tearing up the neighboorhood! the funniest part.....8 or 9 KIDS bikes and only 7 adults...not one actual kid tobe found!
