You guys in other states must really have pi$$ them off, I rode with all three LEO agencies in our area, and 75% of the time they don't even write a ticket.

Unless U have a warrent, license revoked, or worse.....

Most U guys don't have a clue what they do.....

I was pulled over last week cruising down the freeway doing 80ish. I had the XM radio going, cruise control on, feet up on the freeway pegs and didn't notice the guy for nearly five miles. Lights and sirens and everything. Then he pulled alongside me and scared the chit out of me. Like a ghost when he pulled alongside, i was like, "where the Hel* did you come from!" I pulled over and he walked up with his hand on his gun and yelled, "Hey *** hole why didn't you stop?" I told him I never heard him or saw him behind me. Then he said when he went to the Harley MSF School, he remembered the instructor informing the students it’s a good idea to look in your mirrors every half mile or so. He said he was behind me for five miles with lights and sirens. I asked him what he rode. The serious look went to a halfcocked smile. We stood on the side of the freeway for forty five minutes BSing about his Road King and what he wants to do to it next. Turned out to be a cool guy. He said when he pulled alongside me and I jumped out of my seat he knew I wasn’t running. All cops aren’t that bad after all….

90 MPH is not always unreasonable.

Show them respect and they show you respect. I've read this somewhere before.

reminds me of the deputy that pulled me over about 3 a.m. for "rolling" thru a stop sign at 35 m.p.h.. took him about 30 seconds to figure out i was drunk. he looks at his watch and says "boy if i have to take you downtown and book you for d.w.i., i will be working past my shift and i don't get no overtime. hell, since you are on a motorcycle...go on home. if you hit anybody the only person that will get hurt is you." that was one righteous trooper!!

Good thing you didn't go through a motorcycle checkpoint. You'd be history.
