Thumbs Up for Speeding!

dude, it sucked out loud. I was wearing my leather jacket and my helmet. And that cigarette had Target Lock on my jugular.

Of course, being a pilot, I've always felt I should have my own speed limit. I mean, I work at 500 mph all day hell, I hit (I mean "kiss") the pavement at over 120. Driving 100 should be no big deal, right?

I know a Lt. Colonel in the air force who is now retired. He was pulled over and the cop said "the only way you are getting out of this without a ticket is if you have a pilots license, you were flying back there." He smiled, looked at the cop and said, "as a matter of fact i do have one of thse" and he handed it to him. the cop let him off with a verbal warning. The cop admitted he really didnt think it through all the way. They were in the same city as an air reserve base.

You guys need to move to Saint Louis, the City Cops dont give a shit what you do, and i have never been pulled over on my bike. In or around the City, or on the HwY's running through the City, now if you go to the county your FUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! County cops will bust your balls and lock you up for speeding, fucking ass holes.

Haha!! I did get out of one once while in uniform on my way to the airport, about 50 in a 35 in my Mustang. Professional courtesy I guess.

So far all the little "YOUR SPEED IS XX" radar trailers have confirmed the 5%+ speedo for me. I'm pretty certain that lane splitting is illegal here in my state, but I do it anyway. I've had a cop honk at me as I passed him splitting, but he was just as stuck as the rest of the cagers. The rednecks here also don't like it, they'll pull their 1 ton over to cut you off. It's not frogger though, I have options. On the day I do get pulled over for it, I'll see how my "It's air-cooled, it was over heating" explaination will do. I'm sure my fan will be screaming too. I'm not recommending lane splitting, I'm just not sweet on sitting in a mile of traffic.

It's completely legal in California but they call it "Lane Sharing". Most of the drivers here are really courteous, they actually move out of the way when they see a bike riding the white line in traffic jams. Should be legal everywhere in my opinion it saves me hours every week off my commute! And I don't have to hang around those dangerous cages doing the bumper friction with each other.

Gotta love getting the nod from a cop...!

A couple of weeks back I was making a early morning run down the top of Natchez Trace and came around a bend only to pass a Williamson County Sheriff doing 68 after tapping the brakes. He turned on the lights and waved me over...

I pulled over, turn off the bike, took off the helmet and got all of my personal effects together thinking I was well cooked...

Have to say that it was the best feeling ever when he never turned around to come back and ruin my day...

Big props to a kind deputy that maybe put a damper on my fun but didn't take it any further...
