RE: Speeding Tickets?
I have had 3. I got all of them on a brand new VFR750 back in 1987. One wreckless driving ticket for riding a wheelie, one for unsafe lane changes and a speeding ticket 76 in a 55. On the speeding ticket the cop actually had me at 110 in a 55 but gave me a breakandwrote the ticket for 76. Have not had any tickets on the bike since then.

RE: Speeding Tickets?
none on the bike or the car..guess it helps when your mother is the Captian of the Sheriff's Dept=) but thats back home, here in Austin i could of got one on my bike for 56 in a 45 but the guy was a bike cop and he pulled me over and i said sorry i was just riding and feeling the road...he goes i know what you mean do me a favor and slow it down. I've seen him several times since then and if i see him first i wave and if he sees me first he waves..ive actually talked to him a few times since..he rides a BMW 1150 its a nice bike...on another note i had a state trooper follow me for 4 miles...i wasnt doing anything wrong...me and the wife were out riding..this F-350 blows past me ( im doing 60 in a 55) and a state trooper tops the hill im like gotcha...so the trooper flips around and comes hauling *** up..im like hes gonna pull over the ford..NOPE the cockbite whips in behind me and the wife and follows us for 4 miles while the F-350 is breaking the sound barrier..i was ticked!!

We are in the middle of a huge speeding crackdown. They even spent tax payer money to put up a **** load of new signs to warn people about speeding. So because of that I follow the speed limit pretty close. If Im in the need for a little speed Ill head out to a few spots I like that have little or no traffic. Ill ride through doing the speed limit scouting for cops then turn aroundand cruse back through with a little speed. I dont want any speeding tickets! Butif I get one I deserve it.[&:]

Not bad for 17 years worth of street riding...

RE: Speeding Tickets?
Jefferson County Judge in Alabama stated that anyone going over 100mph (car or bike) will automatically spend five days in jail. I thought to myself "I am safe as long as I stay in first gear"
I found this out during my mandatory court appearance for reckless driving. Thats another story and I don't want to bore you with the excuses. I will say that I am glad I hired an lawyer.
