Ever Got a Ticket For This?

Come to a STOP sign & stop but keep your feet on the pegs? Back in high school (long ago) we always tried to keep our feet on the pegs when we stopped. Just for fun. We got good at it. Well a friend did that & got a ticket. He told the cop he stopped but the cop said "No you didn't, you didn't put a foot down." But I stopped! "Boy I can double the cost if you keep talking!" After that whenever we were all in a car & stopped at that location we opened all the doors, put a foot on the road, then continued on. Just for laughs. Sometimes I still stop feet up but I watch for cops when I do. Anyone else been ticketed for this? Curious if it's common or just in my little one horse home town.

No laws like that in Oz. I knew the local stop lights that took forever and a day to change, so I would put my scoot on the side stand, walk across the street and hit the pedestrian button - Voile! Changed in a minute.
That happen to a group of riders here in the US and a Cop pulled them over saying that button was for pedestrians only. The funny thing is a week earlier they got pulled over for running the Stop light that had been Red for minutes, that Cop said why didn't you push the button LOL.

I have two TW200 bikes and on the trails you got to learn to balance cause sometimes there's no ground to put your feet down. A little practice and in no time you can do it for 30 seconds.
