Honestly, here in Tampa, most police dont go after bikes.
My personal, stupid, childish and dangerous opinion is that speeding on a motorcycle makes you a safer rider.
Follow me for a second here.....
If you are going about 20+ mph faster than the speed limit, you are going faster than the wreckless speeders switching lanes and cutting off the cars behind you. You dont have to worry about a car switching lanes and plowing you off the road, you only need to look forward, not constantly checking your 6 for a tailgater or aggressive driver.
I get alot of people who try to "keep up" with me, and it makes me nervous, so I make it a habit to constantly and safely be passing cars. Not white-lining and driving like a maniac, but going about 15mph faster than everyone else.
I've been pulled over by cops just wanting to see my bike. They usually either own one, own a fast car, or interested in buying one. If this rare occasion happens, I usually give them my card, and tell them "lets go ride sometime!". I got pulled over by a heavyset, black cop who was driving a White Explorer, he was wearing a poop that said "Gang Unit" in St Petersburg. He was the coolest cop I've ever met (that pulled me over at least), he wanted to get a Blackbird 1100XX and wanted my opinion on it.
(I described him in case he reads this message board, thanks d00d!! I appreciate you not giving me a ticket!!!!)
A friend in the force is never a bad thing.
On the highway, depending on the situation, I dont stop. If I'm flying an accidentally pass a cop at 130mph, I nail it and go about 2 exits or 5 miles and get off.
I'd much rather be cut down in a hail of gunfire then go back to the big house
