    Been watching & reading this thread.

    I can say beyond a reasonable doubt. Beast556 is not the person some here believe he is, based on his opinion. . He has in the years we've known him and his family, ever expressed any negativity or hate towards LE. What his personal experience was, i never knew till now. Nor did he volunteer said info. Or do i feel his personal opinion has any bearing on our friendship.

    UNLESS he puts a I'M WITH HILLARY sign in his yard

    speaking from experience. I can tell you LE in CO is WAYYYYYYYYY different than those on either coast where both he and i grew up.

    Example.
    40+ years ago i couldn't take a MC ride without numerous LE encounters. Yes Numerous stops per day. Based on appearance, type of mc ridden and the mentality of LE (at the time) towards anyone riding Harleys, choppers etc.

    Move to CO.... Day 1 on the bike pass 2 cops. NADA, ZIP not even a basic traffic stop, just to see who i was.
    Sounds weird or possibly unbelievable? Of course it does. I can say that first and repeated days till i stopped riding. i NEVER had a negative (outside traffic stops for hypothetical exceeding posted speed limit) experience with LE's. be it on my mc , car or on foot because i "fit a profile" As the mentality was a back east one AND a different time. .

    Now every swinging dick rides a mc AND is heavily tattooed. back in the 70's not happening.

    1976 Pull up to a diner with a few other guys, hadn't finished putting the kickstand down before 2 uni's rolled up. Literally told to get back on the bikes and perhaps do our riding in another county.

    There's a lot of adverse interactions i had while on my bike. 98% of it just because i was on a H-D. We called it Riding While Biker. I was not wearing a patch or riding with any MC "Gang" just the spouse & i, a few friends out for a casual spin.

    Like i said different time, different mentality.
