Back in my misspent young adulthood, I was a bit of a maniac on my first motorcycle and piled up a few tickets.

One particular day while riding to work, I got pulled over by a single motorcycle cop for speeding. My RD400F wasn't about to outrun a Kawasaki 1000, so I didn't even try. So, I pull over and the motorcycle cop radios my info in and discovers I have a few unpaid tickets. He cuffs me and calls up a cruiser and tow truck.

The tow truck driver used rope to tie my RD to the lifting straps of the truck and hauled the RD away. The cruiser took me to the clink to spend the night so I could face the judge the next morning. That was 1985, I believe.
A rope and the tow belt on an RD400? That was (in my book) "brutality"
