So I was cruising home from a buddy’s house and I decided to take a scenic route. It’s really nice, the Firechicken is running good, why the hell not? Now I make a turn onto a side street to start heading home, and I noticed a bike behind me. Now honestly I was thinking, hell yes I hope it’s a 600 LOL. Anyway the bike hangs back, so I don’t think anything of it. Now I normally would make the next turn, but for no reason I kept going straight through the light. At first, the light was red, so I was slowing to a stop when it turned green again. I am doing about 20 at the time it does. I look in my rear view, and the bike has its blinker on to turn left. There is no one in front of me for a while, so I stay tall in second and as soon as I cross the light I nail it. Hit third and top out third to about 90. Well, wouldn’t you know that bike was a cop, and out of nowhere he lit my *** up. Damn, I’m in it this time. So he pulls me over and tells me he was going to turn, but my car got his attention when I was tall in second. He told me he could take me to jail, impound the car, and all this other ****. Well, he comes back after taking my license and registration and I got lucky. He told me he was only giving me an infraction, and only wrote me for 65. I wanted to get out and hug the bastard, but he probably wouldn’t have liked that. He said my car is loud and attracted his attention, so he told me to watch myself from now on. Yeah so it sucks that I got a ticket, but 65 in a 50 sure as hell beats 90 in a 50 and all that comes with it. Thanks officer, wherever you are out there.

 

Lesson learned... and you had a nice cop to teach you.

I watched some dumb *** in a mini van today on I64 do the "tailgate the slow car in front to make them get out of the way" maneuver this morning. In a 70mph area, the guy had to be doing about 90 when he caught up to me with a dark navy blue Durango right beside me. He stayed about two feet off the Durango’s *** for about a mile. Then the nice Durango cuts me off to let the mini van by... then the nice dark navy blue Durango with several large antennas, dark tinted windows (we can't have anything great than 35% in this area) with gov tags said stay off my *** with blue strobes everywhere.

Always look for the tags and other signs. In your case... I'd be screwed too... not use to having bike cops around much.

 

sucks...were all tempted to do stupid **** and there seems to always be a cop around....
I was gonna power wheelie from a stop sign (still learning slow, scared its just gonna loop) and i gunned it let off, then gunned it and i thankfully leaned forward too much and the bike never came up....i turned into my neighborhood and Mr. Policeman was the car 2 vehicles behind me...that would have sucked....thank god for the newbie scaredy cat syndrome, lol
