I've had the Busa for 7 months now and I'm up to my fourth encounter with the local LEO's. Tonight I get stopped right in front of my driveway. The wife loved that! Been lucky though, only one ticket so far. Blowing back into town the week before Christmas and I look over to see a cop sitting between two buildings. I'm thinking to myself "Damn, I've never seen a cop sitting there before". I ride right past looking straight at him and "wham" the lights come on. He's sitting just inside the speed limit sign where it drops from 35 to 25. I get nailed for 41 in a 25. Dumb ticket. Dumb - dumb - dumb.
Tonight I'm coming into town and look ahead and see a car slowing and pulling to the side of the road. I just hit the brakes hard and come crawling into town. As I get closer I see it's the local LEO and he's sitting right next to my driveway. Great! I hit the blinky light to turn into my driveway and he hits his lights. So we have a little chat in the driveway with all the neighbors watching from their front porches. He tells me all the bikes are coming out with the warm weather and this is just a warning - but slow it down.
I asked what I was clocked at and he said "37 in a 35". I said "That doesn't seem too bad."
He says "I saw 50's dropping fast before I punched you in."
These bikes are just too easy to ride fast. Gotta slow it down.
