If you intend to ride to upstate NY make sure all of your papers are in
order, motorcycle licences, insurance, inspection, registration and a DOT
approved helmet. I ran into one of the checkpoints on Sunday while heading
to Marcus Dairy in Danbury CT on i84 east at the Rest Area located near exit
17 (lake Carmel, NY). They had at least three electronic billboards posted
instructing all motorcycles to exit at the rest stop. I pulled in the rest
stop and found at least 20 other bikes lined and waiting to be inspected by
State Trooper and other officials from NYS DOT. In addition to the bikes in
line, there were another six bike parked between two police vehicles and
their owners seating by the roadside. My guess is that they did not pass the
inspections. After waiting in line for about 10 minutes, they finally got to
me and checked the bike from front to back, including using a flash light to
check the serial number against what's listed on my registration. Needless
to say, I passed and continued on to Marcus Dairy to join the festivities.
According to one of the troopers this is going to be an ongoing operation
for the duration of the summer. So if you are riding through New York State
make sure all your documentation are solid or else the man will either fine
you or impound your bike.

hmmmm

They must have been targetting someone OR some group. I travelled through the State of New York twice on the weekend and they didn't even give us a second look...
