As Seabee indicated,

Mississippi is a bit **** about things with two wheels only plus a motor... Had a ticket plus 3 warnings on the CBR900 back in the day. Nothing yet on the 1000RR yet - wood knock... But I did get some serious looks from 3 local police cars and a pair of motorcycle cops this morning who surrounded me to the rear of my 3 and 9 line (look at your watch) at a stop light. Needless to say I sprinted away initially without raising the front or breaking ground on the rear to the 55mph marker and about 5 seconds later they ALL came up and passed me to my right to prove a point I guess. Not too smart, but they knew it was safely done and I was from the local Guard base in my flight suit with proper protection gear... They (the man) tend to be a little more slack on us fortunately for me.

Day before yesterday I had a MS HWY Patrol car pull up at the oil change shop while I was visiting a friend. Turned out he just wanted to get a look at the bike with his admiring comments... or getting a mental picture on who I was when he pulls me over in the future!

So far so good and we have several of these guys employed with our unit who fly with me so that doesn't hurt one bit when getting tickets worked if possible. Otherwise I keep the limiter on until I reach the outer areas to ride... then it's 3/4 throttle minimum all the way. Damn this thing is nice....

thankfully i have only been pulled over once on my bike. 135 on a back country road. the local sherrif caught up with me at a ma a pop shop getting smokes. can't really call it pulled over though. he took me outside and asked how fast i was going and then asked where he could pick one up. he wanted a sport bike so bad claiming he was a harley rider. i actually let him ride it up and down the road for about 30 minutes while i played with the lights and sirens in his squad car. now i go as fast as i want in that town and all i get is a wave and if i can get my arm up i wave back. it does help i am military and i'm not a city slicker out in the country causing problems. thank god i'm a country boy.

Pulled over and ticketed once on my bike. The highway...nailed for 85 in a 65...cop was in the other lane too, had to cross the median! He snuck up and bagged us....Hell the cars around us were doing the same speed.....he must have hated bikes. At least thats what my buddy asked him, asked him if "his mother never let him have his own?" lol Maybe thats why the tickets came out? I guess it was worth seeing his face! [8D]
