Are cops harder to bikers?

I don't necessarily think overall they're any harder on bikes than they are on cars, but I DO think generally speaking we probably exceed the speed limit a bit more on our bikes than in our cars.

I'm sure glad I am able to decipher nee-lingo

I've been caught speeding a couple times via speed traps and I haven't been pulled over. Then again, define "speeding" since I'm on a more sport bike oriented forum. Most I've been caught doing was 15-20 over in a 35. I'm also 1/100 people that actually wears gear here.

I have been pulled over for the damn LED lights all over the bike, but the guy was cool and only gave me a warning.
