June of 08 Riding back from the mall with my Girlfriend (now wife) on the back. We were going down the freeway, didn't check the spedometer till I heard the very loud chirp behind me, glanced down to the mirrors and knotice an Unmarked Charger lights flashing and siren blaring... looked at my spedometer, 95 in a 55... after I pulled over, the trooper got out, asked me if I was running, cause he was following me for about 3 miles, and said I sped up when he hit the lights (oops, I honestly didn't know he was behind me). when he asked for my licence a Truck pulling a trailer flew past, then another white truck pulled over and yelled at the cop "That guy with the trailer must be drunk or something cause he's all over the damn road". The trooper handed me my licence and said wait here... half hour later he comes back with a man in the back seat. Looks at me and tells me "I'll take a drunk driver over a speeding ticket any day... don't do it again!" I got off with a warning. I rode home going 50 the entire way. a week later I got pulled over for running a yellow light with my truck... got a ticket... damn

This was in January I believe. CBR1000RR taunting police but cant out run FWPD AirONE. It follows him 30 miles and for some reason he still is running over a buck fifty. Then, in a moment of karma, gets t-boned while making a right hand turn at 5 mph.

Under normal circumstances, you cant outrun a radio and you cant outrun helicopters. If the cop gets near you at all, he probably has your plate and you lose.

I'm still working on the Flux Capacitor mod on my bike so that I can time travel. Then I can outrun anyone/thing.

 

[redliner172]

When the fan starts going and people ask what it is, I always say its the Flux Capacitor. Otherwise they wont understand.

agfish18 - thats how much a "passing stationary emergency vehicle 70 +" ticket costs in Texas. When myself and another guy went to court for it, he argued back and forth with the prosecutor and the Trooper and dug himself in a hole. He even tried to present a third grade drawing of the scenario to the court hahahaha. My favorite part was watching myself on dashcam and feeling like I was on "World's Most........". Glad I beat that ticket cause its an expensive one.

upthemaiden - Those would be my awesome friends who sometimes decide not to take care of tickets lol. I kid you not though, ALL the times we got pulled over together, they were the first persons to say BTW I have warrants. And, crazy enough, every time we got stopped they were let off with warnings and were not taken to Jail but I knew that day, someone was going.

My first trip to Monterey for Moto GP got us into some trouble, but not much.

I was riding with my brother (xb12r and xb12ss)and two of our friends (gsxr750 and cbrr1000). We hoped on the freeway headed home after kicking it on the row and decided to get nutty. We only had a couple exits until we needed to get off the free way so we punched it. I think my bro and I were doing around 130 when our two buddies went ripping past us. The CHP officer was sitting about a 1/4 mile before our exit. The perfect spot to see us going nuts and we didn't even notice him. we got off the free way and hit a red light. Right then and there my buddy on the gsxr does a preacher thru the light and we notice the chp behind us. OH ****!! My brother and I had a few beers on the row so we knew we were going down. The only thing that saved our ass was both of our buddies took off as soon as the cop lit us up.

We pulled over and proceded to take our gear off knowing it was off to the jail for us. The CHP officer got out of his car and stood by his door and gave us the best lecture we've ever had. Going over the accidents they already had that day, how many people usually get arrested on that weekend and all the other stuff that goes wrong because of things guys were doing. He then let us off without running any of our info, which is legit, and told us to warn our buddies. There looking for them!

Both my buddies got away and we all met up at our hotel and laughed, I mean cried, about the whole thing. We rode like little girls the rest of the weekend and everytime we've been back. I'm not press'n my luck, I should have gone to jail and I was left off the hook!

Hands down the best officer I've ever encountered. The funny thing was that he was old. I thought for sure once we saw him he was going to take us down. He was very understanding to our situation. When you see 60,000 motorcycles it just makes you wanna go fast!

good stories[up] I have more from when I used to do the whole car scene.

 

[redliner172]

Oh yeah, while in court for the ticket mentioned back on Page 1, The judge asks, "how did you manage to pull all 7 bikes over?" He says, "As soon as they crested the hill, I immediately turned on the lights but all 7 seven bikes caused the radar to jump all over the place. They all stopped and were very pleasant to talk to. I usually try to keep up and see what they got!" Really? He failed to mention he nearly caused an accident by running two bikes into each other. How bout that public safety huh?

 

[TooFst]

I'm at work and can't type much... I have a few good ones.....

 

[snareman96]

@everyother_time redliner172 got yelled at by his girl as well when he was pulled over and also got away with the cop saying "just make sure you get that registation taken care of." I guess it's a natural female tendency for anyone's girl to yell at them when being pulled over.

 

[shai29508]

Unless of course, snareman96, u are the girl!! LOL....fortunately tho, this girl has not been pulled over on the bikes....I reserve that right for my big ol' expedition with the alpine stars sticker blingin'!!! Lol...swear these cops here love that truck! Last time I got nailed in it I was on my way to pay the previous speeding ticket!!!! HAHA!!!!!!

 

[snareman96]

@shai29508 Nope I'm one of those speeding males who won't go over 95mph. I don't know why, but I've gone over a few times. Might be cause I'm just finally getting rid of that fear. Only been riding for a few months. Hopefully, I can get up there more often.

 

[redliner172]

Didnt yell at me....more just shook her head. Then when it was obvious that I wasnt getting a ticket she was fine.

 

[shai29508]

@snareman96, well let me tell ya, I've done my share of really fast and after that point you don't see much anyhow....literally!! Lol....no for real, it's a bit of a rush but you do it once or twice and really push ur comfort zone and the thrill isn't as much of a deal anymore...fastest I've rode is just under twice your top speed....oh my!! [smirk]

 

[redliner172]

lol snareman got pulled over last night. By the most petty agency in D/FW. It was hilarious. I got the pictures but I will let him tell the story. I usually get pics of my stops cause no one believes that I get stopped so much with no tickets.

 

[Ebeo1]

I got pulled over at 3:30 AM the cop of course ask if I knew why he pulled me over, a few things came to mind.

1)Its 3:30 in the morning and you dont have anything else better to do
2)I ran a red light
3)I was speeding
4)I rolled through a stop sign
5)one of my blinkers is broke

but I told him I didn't have the foggiest and asked to be enlightend

he informed me that I was weaving and I had crossed the white line a few times and asked how many drinks I had consumed which was none that night.

He checked my license and registration gave me a warning about white lines and I was on my way.

 

[redliner172]

Alright...so I have been stopped a couple times since I last posted, once for registration and the other for speeding, registration and inspection.

I was doing about 155 through TX-287 going towards Downtown Fort Worth with VERY MINIMAL traffic. By minimal I mean I didnt pass anyone at those speeds. As I came up to a hill, I slowed down cause I had a feeling an officer was hiding on the other side. I slow down to 81 and looked on my right....and nothing. Next thing I know, I see in my peripheral tail lights light up on the left shoulder and the trouble bubbles turn on. I of course pull over and was given a ticket for 81 in a 60 and my registration. I was given a warning for the inspection. The officer thought it was a Kawi...FML haha.

Anyways for your viewing pleasure...a pic.
