I treat stop signs strictly by the right had rule, when others are present. Depending on visibility, I usually roll through them at from 10 to 20 mph, depending on conditions. I have never been cited. If I ever am, I'll pay the fine, and change my ways only to the extent that I'll look harder for the cops.

I do not advocate running stops as a mater of course. That gray slushy thing between our ears is the most powerful safety device we have. I point out to any one who says anything to me-It has happened to me once or twice-that the speed I "blow" through that sign is about the same speed most cars "roll" through it. Since the bike is closer to cruising speed at this velocity, it creats an impresion that you are rolling through it faster than cars, when in fact you are not.
