My brother was recently stopped in Fort Lauderdale on his 750 SS. he had 
a sling over his sholder
and the officer had his auto un-holstered. It was a pool que in the case 
but they were looking for a
robber with a 12 ga. Mossberg..He was driving like he stole it and 
figured that was the reason for
being stopped. They all laughed and went away, but his game went to hell 
that night.
