So, I'd been out riding since 7.30 yesterday morning. Been through Worcester - Nice cathedral - then on to the Malvern Hills - Stunning views, why didn't I take my camera Doh! - Down to Eastnor Castle & into Glouscester - another nice cathedral. Headed home through Upton on Severn, Pershore & Evesham (Sunny day, stopped at the market for a cup of tea & to watch the girlies wander by - marvelous).
Back on the bike last leg of the ride home, mostly dual carriage way (70 mph limit) found myself doing about 95 mph looked in the mirror, about 1/4 of a mile back see a blue flashing light. Oh Sh*t! :banghead:
I throttled off, & a few seconds later this motorcyle cop on a BMW pulls up alongside me. I looked over, he gives me a disapproving look shakes his head to indicate that I shouldn't be doing that sort of speed, which I acknowledge with a dutiful nod of the head.
I'm just about to pull over, when he drops a cog on the Beemer, cracks the throttle open & disappears off into the distance. What a nice Policeman.
Perhaps he was just in a good mood, on his way home for his dinner, off shift, who knows. I prefer to think he was just a very nice man!
