After 23,000 miles trouble free miles I was finally pulled over by the police, I was heading home from buying a new ARAI helmet, when a fire truck pulled out of the gas station in front of me. I am about one mile from the house when I saw a city police officer come up from the side street, stop and then pull out behind me, speed up to catch me and turn on his lights. Now I have a fire truck in front of me and a police officer behind, time to pull over. Stop the bike, get off, take off gloves, helmet, unzip jacket and wait for the officer to get out of his car. He gets out and walks up, I ask him why he stops me, he just replies license, insurance please. I dig those out and again ask him why he stopped me. He replies motorcycle inspection. Then he asks me where I am coming from, I tell him Bedford, 45 miles away, where I just bought a helmet. Then a county Sheriff pulls up, gets out, looks at me and shakes his head. ??? I’m thinking this is going to get bad quick. The Sheriff has a couple of words with the officer and then gets back in his car and leaves. The other officer hands me my paper work back. I again ask him what the deal is. Turns out the Sheriff had a radar trap set up and some older guy blew thru it at 113mph. about all he saw was some nice custom bike fly by. The officer thought my black and orange looked good and fast, so he pulled me over so the Sheriff could ID me. Glad the Sheriff said it wasn’t me. I was only doing 30mph at the time. I did tell the officer when he asked if my bike would go that speed, that in theory it would do that in second gear, but I don’t know for sure. 
He asked me how fast will it run, I replied I don’t know, but again in theory it could hit 212mph if everything is right. 
lease: He asked me if I planned to find out, I said since I don’t speed the only place I can find out is at the Texas mile in march, at the Land Speed Racing event. 
We had a couple of good laughs, then he went to look for that old guy on the custom bike.
I think I need to get some hair dye.
