I got pulled over on I10 in Cal. doing over 90 in a 70. As soon as I saw him I pulled over.

As the one officer was looking over my paperwork, the other asked "Honestly, how fast have you had this thing?" I pointed to my Texas Mile sticker and explained to him how I'd gone from zero to 208 in a mile. The cop with my paperwork smiled and muttered "Saweet".

After running my tags and license he came back and politely wagged his finger and told me to slow it down and sent me on my way.

I think being polite, pointing out that I try to take it to the track and the fact that I probably could have just vanished, and didn't, all worked in my favor.

I couldn't help but smile all the way to L.A.

Sweet! Not many riders can tell a cop they go 0 to 208 on a track lol!

Brought this reply back from a thread I posted to on this forum in 2002!!
------------------2002 post below----------------------

Eddy - you from Nuke Jersey too? lol. I'm up here in north jersey - green 2000 '12 with a muzzy on it. You can't miss me - I'll be the p-whipped 6'2" guy with a 6'2" chick on the back . We kinda make the '12 look like a 600.

Here is an interesting story (for those who live in NJ - you may appreciate this)

I just clocked 2000 miles on the '12 - she was "officially" broken in - and I was on Interstate 287 going south. Well... my wrist couldn't resist anymore, so I clicked down a few gears, and LIT THE BASTARD UP! I passed 160 or 170 or so indicated, and backed down (too chicken sh#% to go any faster at the time) and settled into traffic at about 70 or so. Well, about 10 miles or so down the road, I check my rear views, and I notice a Statie ON MY ASS, so I pull into the right lane. He hits the lights (already has my plate I'm sure, cause I didn't notice him coming in behind me - DARN LOUD MUZZY!! I pull the '12 off to a safe turn off and get ready to go to jail. The trooper comes up to the bike and I'm already like "sorry bla bla bla". He grins and checks the bike over - and goes back to his car. To make a long story short - he tells me that "his radar wasn't on" but he was "concerned that I may be weaving in and out of traffic too much" (BTW - I never weaved at ALL - stuck to the left lane the whole time I was on the highway). He goes on to tell me that he's a bike nut and this was the "first" 12 he had a chance to see - hands me a written warning and says "NOW SLOW THE HELL DOWN - ok. Off the record. How fast WERE you going?"

LOL - I think I replied somthing lame like "130 or so..." he was like "YEAH, SURE. Take care bud!"

Sometimes you get lucky.

BIG BIG karma to the trooper who saved my license!

a guy here at work got pulled at 106 on i-81 on his busa, he pulled over as soon as he saw lights( so he says) it was his first violation in nearly 3 years and he spent 90 days in jail for it plus lost his licence for a year. speed nazis here in va. a friend is clerk of the courts at the town i live in and she says everyone convicted in the triples gets jail time. even 81+ mph here on the interstate is a reckless charge. on the flip side i was pulled at 112mph on the lbj in dallas riding my xjs and was let go with a warning. thats the only time i ever got off with just a warning but that was a good one to get away with
