After reading Pete's thread, I thought I should share my own BUSTED experience from yesterday. I was leaving the gym @ around 7:00pm feeling pretty good, the sun had just come out after being cloudy all day, perfect time to ride. I pull on to a two lane road where the speed limit is 45mph, the road is completely empty so I hit the throttle. I slow down to turn onto a side road after about a 3/4 mile. I would say I topped out at about 85 for a fraction of second before I started to slow for the turn. After pulling onto the side road I hear a siren, and a voice tells me to pull over to the side of the road. SH@$!
I pull over and the cop pulls his cruiser in front of my bike, apparently thinking I would attempt to run. He gets out and immediately asks if I'm licensed. I say "Yes sir." He then asks for my registration and license, doesnt say anything else. I give it to him and he goes into his cruiser and runs my information for about 10 minutes, undoubtedly making me sweat it out. He comes back and says, "Just be careful out there, I'm not going to give you a ticket." I was a bit dumbfounded, because the whole time I'm trying to figure where he got me and how fast he's gonna ticket me.
He goes on to say, "It's refreshing to see somebody that took the time to get their license and who actually where's the proper gear when riding. I also ride." :thumbup: Phew!!!
He went on to talk about how most of the people he pulls over in Rochester on motorcycles dont have a license and attempt to run which is why he pulled me over the way he did. We talk for a few more minutes and he then tells me to "Ride safe." and heads on his way. I reciprocate the "Ride safe" and hop on my bike and take off. Not exceeding the speed limit this time, and I dont think I will for awhile. Still kind of shell shocked.
Bottom line:
Wear your gear all the time, not only will it save your life, it may just get you out of a ticket!
and respect police officers, because only some of them are jerks. :rockon:
