goin' too fast?
« on: May 28, 2006, 10:36:27 PM »
When was the last time you were pulled over on your bike? Tonight for me. Cop asked me why I thought he pulled me over.
I said "too loud?"
He said " what do you think the speed limit on this road is?"
I said" 40 "
He said how fast do you think you were going?"
I said "well 40 then"   
He said "oh ok thats how its going to be."
 I said" how fast do you think I was going"
He said "I got you on radar, does your speedo work?"
 Genuinley curious because I am not sure if my speedo is correct I said "How fast did your radar think I was going"
 He said "let me see your registrtion and insurance and license"
 I said "yes sir"
He ran it and came back saying that based on his experience I estimated that I was going at least 15 miles per hour over the speed limit but his radar  only had me at about 10 over" so I drove away with a  verbal warning never having admitting to my true speed. Whew.

A couple years ago I was doing 77 in a 55 on my BMW. Lights come on behind me and I'm thinkin' Damn, I'm screwed. After I got my helmet off, me and the LEO had a lengthy discussion about what great bikes BMW's are and how much he wished he had one in the garage. It all ended with him saying "OH, by the way....." and me riding off with a big smile on my face. ;D

Last time i was pulled by the Plod(UK version of an LEO) he made the mistake of starting with " If we had been quicker off the mark......." so with lots of yessirs and only a small amount of crap i new i was safe!

Lets  just say that if he had been quicker off the mark I would be in deep deep trouble. Truely the wrong time and place speed I was going.
