I just came over a rise in the road today. In the distance I could see a white top of something. I chopped the throttle, sat up fanned out my legs to catch the air. To Late! he got me for 87 in a 55mph. Now this is a loong straight away with no cross traffic or housing.
I asked if it was a manditory apperance, he said no. I told him that was good because my wife was going to shove the busa up my butt so far i wouldnt be able to get through the metal detector! He laughed and handed me the ticket.
Well it was a nice ride.............

No comment (promised not to bash cops)

The cop was cool. He was just doing his job. All to well I might add.

Fun tax

A Valentine 1 prevents that sort of thing.....Drove thru Los Banos last night at 80+ (well, not in town) but all the way across from 101 to 99 and never had a problem. Works just as well on the Busa.

 

[slatroni]

Thanks for the tip CBXRIDER! I think this ticket would just about pay for a Valentine 1!

 

[Spudley]

Los Banos ????..... "The toilets ???" .....

Thank God he stopped you, the earth was just about to enter another ice
age if you kept going at that speed.

Gimmie a break...and if he was doing his job patroling our houses, businesses,
and schools what would have happened to you...nothing...absolutely nothing.

So what did he accomplish by giving you a ticket except to make your life
a little bit poorer and spread a little misery?


Victimless "crime", stopping you solved zero. Sounds like you were even on a
safe road for stretching your legs.

Sorry bro...

my Escort has paid for itself several times over on the bike and in the cage sorry to hear about your "driving award"

if you are out riding alone, much of the time, the radar detector is going off AFTER you have been tagged already.. a rather false sense of security...

I thought most of the detectors could detect the radar if it's just on
and in the area to sound the alarm. (not up on these at all)

I have used radar detection on my bike for years and it has saved me countless tickets over the years. Saved me a radar ticket this past week when I finally got my bike out for a ride.

What I have found is radar detection is almost usless on the interstates as they are helpless against Laser which most all LEO's use on busy thoroughfairs. Where is does work almost 100% of the time is on the country roads where most of the LEO's you encounter have moving radar mounted in their vehicle. I have not had a ticket from one of these guys since the day I mounted a detector on my bike.

My theory, which has worked quite well for me is, I stay off the interstates as much as possible and when I am on multi lane roads where the tax enforcers troll for most of their victums, I get my arse in the slow lane and stay there because I know the bike I'm on attracts LEO's like a magnet in a junk yard.

I have been pulled over numerous times on the interstate without getting a ticket. I am convinced they hit the blue lights just to see if you will run.
