Whew!!! Cashed In My Get Outta Jail Free Card Today!!!
Left work to run some errands during lunch, it's a great day and I'm on QuickSilver. Left from the light nothing fancy, hit second gear and what do I see, Da Man!!! Check my mirrors, he's hitting the brakes and making a u-turn. Oh Shit!! I goose it, make a right, dart through a couple of cars and got stopped at the light. Check my mirrors, looks like I lost him. Light turns green, I take off quickly head up the looping on ramp, look around still no cruiser. Get on the highway and nail it, redline 2nd and 3rd gears (140+), get out of it in 4th and get off at the next exit, turn right and stopped at the light. Light turns green, manuver through some slow moving cages and prepare to change lanes to turn right. Check my mirror and WTF!?!?!? Here comes a cruiser!!! I turn around and look and on come the lights. Pull over in a parking lot, shut off the engine and wait. A young officer approaches and I notice he's a Riverside officer and not Dayton. Damn, it was the guy I thought I just lost!?!?!? He asks me if I was doing some sort of speed test, I said "uh no". He asked where I was coming from. I said to myself "Self, should I come clean or try and lie my way out of this??" My selt said come clean and I told him I was coming from work and I work at the base. He said "I know, you passed me on Springfield St. Do you know what the speed limit is on Springfield St??" I told him 40, he told me 35. He asked me how fast was I going, I told him I thought I was going about 50, he told me I was going 70 and he had to work real hard to catch up to me because I was haulin ass down Rt 4!!! He goes back to the car and runs my plates and license, calls me over to the car and asks for my registration. Told me the bike was coming back stolen!?!? I told him I had bought the bike in Dec and just happen to still have the receipt in my wallet. He gets out and verifies the VIN on the frame against the registration papers, all of my paper work checked out. Asked me about the ChatterBox, told me he had a bike, a 1200 Harley Sportster!!! Let me off with a warning, told me to contact the BMV about the stolen status of my bike. Shook hands and I was on my merry way!!! What a guy. I must have impressed him with my cooperation and honesty!!! GOD blessed me with a get outta jail free card today!!! My advice, always come clean and take your medicine like a man because GOD don't like ugly!!!
Peace

WOW. Mandingo! You fookin' lucky bastard!!!
Nice story. Gotta wonder how he ended up behind you when you did all those fancy moves and even bolted up to 140!!!
What did he do, beam over??? Time Shifter? What?
""Self, should I come clean or try and lie my way out of this??" "
I don't think I would have come clean unless I KNEW it was the same guy. I'd have said, heck, there's plenty of these silver bikes around, must have been one of them! 
Funny thing about that "stolen" aspect, the cops in Daytona told me the SAME DAMN THING earlier this year!

damn!
You're right! You're now short one get out of jail free card! I had a similar incident on the way to the track one Friday evening. Riding side by side with a fellow ZX12R owner (side by side in a single lane is illegal in VA) and we both cracked into the throttle and I carried a wheelie for a short distance as we raced about 1/4 mile. All of the sudden a motorcycle cop came out of nowhere light blazing and went around us to cut us off onto the shoulder. He said we were speeding, riding double in a sinle lane, wreckless driving, racing on the street and my license plate wasn't properly displayed since I had it tucked up under the rear fender. He didn't mention the fact I had no mirrors or signals on the bikes. I explained we were on our way to the track and told him I would put my plate back on the rear fender and that we never race on the street (cough... LOL) but we were simply on our way to the racetrack. Don't know how or why but he let us both go without even running our registrations! Unbelievable in Virginia! It was our lucky day! I chalk it up to a fellow motorcycle rider giving another rider a break. I know that if I were a cop- I'd do the same!

BMW...Been there, done that, told the truth and got off after about 145 mph.
Sometimes it seems so rediculous that we should be pulled over for going speeds that are so easy and "nonchalant" on our 12's. It's like, "Attention! Gustapo! You vill drive slow...and you vill like it".- -ZXtra

Time to trade the slower silver in for mystic black at least the color might have fooled him.
