LOL. If you're old enough to remember that era, then hopefully you don't forget what they looked like at your age.

I am sure that I have recounted this one here before...
It was August 2005, five of us were headed out of town on a four lane road around midnight. I was on my 954, the other bikes were 2- 954's, 636 and a Can-o-tuna 600.
We were running about 80-85 MPH when I spotted a pair of head lights closing on us extremely rapidly, I was about ready to leave the area very rapidly as I didn't want to get run over. I had already downshifted my Honda to 3rd gear and was about a tenth of a second from ripping on it when the rapidly closing car turned on red and blue lights. Right then the thought of running ran through my head, but I had just returned the license plate to its proper location earlier in the week, so I pulled over along with one of the other 954 riders. The officer got out of his car and started screaming at us about going to jail and getting our bikes towed if we didn't give him the names of the other riders. Funny how threats cause me to have amnesia, and I couldn't remember any of the other riders names or remember having met them before that night. LOL
In the mean time the 636, can-o-tuna and the remaining 954 vacated the area. The can-o-tuna eventually turned around and came back to an intersection we had passed (him doing that would make our later court case a home run). The officer continued to scream at us and issue threats, while trying to operate his radio that had come off his belt and was in a swinging, tangled mess of mic cord. Finally two other troopers showed up and one of them stood with us and the other started talking to the first officer trying to calm him down and sort out what was happening. The officer who stood over by us said that he couldn't understand why a traffic stop had the first trooper so excited. By now a fourth trooper had found the can-o-tuna rider who was stopped, sitting along side his bike with his helmet off.
All three of us ended up with identical tickets, 107 MPH speeding, racing on the highway, and willful reckless driving.
The next day we contacted a local traffic attorney and told his what happened, and he told us that our case would be almost guaranteed to come out not guilty due to the fact that the officer wrote identical tickets to three separate people with one in a separate location, not to mention the unprofessional attitude of the officer and his threats. Once in court the officer claimed that he could visually estimate the speed of motorcycles on a dark unlit road within 2 MPH accuracy. Then our attorney caught the officer in a lie about his radar gun being able to track more than two vehicles at once, even pulling out the operators manual for the radar installed in the troopers cruiser and asking him to show where it said it could track 3 vehicles. Finally he started badgering the county attorney to show the video of the stop at which point the county attorney approached the bench resulting in the case getting dismissed...
