Damn NtS, I had almost forgotten you used to ride that red F3.


My worst on the bike was 49 in a 35. I made it 50 miles averaging about 115 on the highway trying to beat a huge storm home. Made it into town only running 10-15 over. Got pulled over a mile away from my house and a tornado touched down 5 miles away about the time i got home.

Knock on wood, only been pulled over twice on the bike w/ one warning. First time was 85 in a 65 4 lane divided highway, cop gave me a warning and talked about bikes for 5 minutes with me after.

Second time, same highway, just where it goes to 55 near town i got clocked at 86. The cop asked if I was prior service after I pulled my helmet off (I keep my hair cut short still) and proceeded to tell me to slow down. Didn't even run my tag or take my license out of my hand that I was holding for him w/ my insurance card. Both were GSP so i got lucky both times.

I bet if I'd been on a sportbike I'd have gotten a ticket both times though. I honestly pass cops frequently on the bike doing 15-20mph over the limit and they don't even take a second look. I'll have to be way more careful when I get my FZ1 I bet.

Remember my last ticket. It was because the cop rode a "real bike" and I didn't.

Bastard.

And you thought that stripe was a pimptastic paint job??? There are 331 or so turns at Deal's Gap so you had to see the side at some point in time.

Should have wheelied and taken the offroad trails. It's a Honda so you would have been fine.

68 on a 25 mph curve.....It was almost a $200 ticket & 4 points.....went to court and had it knocked down to $80 & 2 points.

How did you get price AND points lowered. Normally I have to pay I have to pay a higher price to get points taken off.

I knew (In general not just cycles) some people who said they were willing to pay the full price if they didn't get any points added to have the judge accept it.

The cop was very surprised that I pulled over for him, he said most us "crotch rocket guys" run from him....he said that if I went to court, he would cut me a good break .....and he did.
