No, not me. My buddy. We were just leaving the races last night in S.A. and I was leading. I had just gotten up on the Interstate and Jimbo, my buddy on his R1, was behind a car and then a truck behind me. We went for a coupla miles and I kept waiting for Jumbo to pass the truck and catch up. I was going right at 70 by the tach. 4K is 67.1 mph with my gears. 16/42. So Jimbo finally passes the truck and all of a sudden the car the car behind me lights up. A State Trooper. So I pulled over and thought Jimbo was stopped behind the Trooper. Icould not see as I was blinded by the lights. No pun intended. So the guy ask's why I'm in a hurry. I said I was not in a hurry. I ask how fast was I going and he just smiled and said how fast do you think you were going. I told him about 70 + or - 2 or 3 mph. He then said I was going 72. So I said that's about right. He then said the limit is 65 at night. I was like, oh sh*t. Sorry, your right. He just laughed and asked for my info. I gave it to him and he said just a minute. As he walked away he asked if the guy behind him was with me and I said yes we were together. Rode up to the races and were on the way home. He came back with a written warning for exceeding the 65 mph limit. No big deal. He was a very polite and easy going young man. We talked about the Busa for a moment and about how many squids run from them. And just bs'd for a few minutes. He said to slow down and be careful and walked away. I put my gloves and helmet on and started off. I was going slow waiting for Jimbo and did not see him coming up. So about 2 miles down at the Seguin exit I stopped and waited for him. About the time I was ready to call his cell I saw him coming along. He stopped and asked what the Trooper said to me and I showed him the warning. He then said another Trooper had stopped him behind the Trooper that had me. I had no idea that had happened. Remember, the top lights were blinding me. So he says he got a ticket. I said no way, I just got a warning. He then showed me a ticket for 103 in a 65. No sh*t. He said the guy was an a$$ from the start. Now I now that Jimbo is the easiest going guy anyone will ever meet. If you were to knock the crap out of him, he would just look at you kinda sad and walk away. Really. No attitude. So he said the Trooper was pissed right from the start and when Jimbo asked to see proof he refused. Jimbo asked to then see the radar and the Trooper said there was no radar. He got him with his computer. What the heII does that mean. Never heard of that. So any way I don't know what I might have left out or been unclear about. Ask and I will explain as much as I can. He intends to fight the ticket of course. And I will help. Consider, we were traveling together, on the Interstate, in the middle of nowhere. Stopped at the same time by 2 different Troopers at the same time and at the same mile marker, yet I get a warning for exceeding the 65 mph limit and he gate a ticket for 103 in a 65. I will get the ticket from him in the morning and scan and post it and will scan and post mine below it. Is this strange or what...
