Well,
After over 30 years with no tickets other than warnings I finally met a hardass cop who ensured my donation to Colorado's highway funds. Traveling from Kittredge Colorado back to Albuquerque, my riding buddy and I pulled out from a gas station and immediately and legally passed a cop in a Grey Charger. My bud traveled ahead and passed a couple of cars that were going about 10 Mph under the limit. Knowing I had the cop behind me about a 50 yards, I waited until I crested the hill ahead, hit my signal and made a nice pass of the two cars while staying under the speed limit. I signalled right and moved back in in front of them and then the lights came on. I honestly thought he was going after my bud and waited for him to pull around but he stayed behind me. So I pulled over and he cited me for not completing the pass within the broken line. I crossed back in just as it turned solid and he nabbed me. Cost me $ 113.50. This guy actually suggested I should have dove in beween the cars (unsafe) when I saw the line go solid. When I started the pass I could not see when the line ended due to the angle of the road. I guess I was screwed either way, if I had sped up he would have nailed me for speeding and if I had backed off when I saw the line change I would have be unsafe if someone was behind me. Fortunately there will be no points against my license because Colorado does not transfer to New Mexico. Not worth the fight in court because it's too far away. I know if it were me I'd have given a Warning. Rant Over!

They are looking for an excuse to get crotch rockets 
guaranteed if that was a hogley davidson you wouldnt be posting this ticket 
, I hold my breath when I do that. He was just not fully appreciating the difficulty of overtaking on the Busa. A little too much twist and you hit trips and pass everybody, grandma the pass and run out of dots... sounds like you almost nailed it.
