bringing leo opinions to a motorcycle forum is ridiculous. |

It was kind of crazy, the first car was actually pulled across the street and aiming his radar gun at me, from 1/4-1/2 mile away... not sure if they are supposed to be in the street. |
Ive seen them on bridges taking my picture. & Don't " me but with the cop in the road & if you blasted by I think you got your self some big trouble now.

Cop or not... 144 mph IMO is rIdiculous on a public road that myself or my family could possibly be on...
People know I don't butt in my LEO opinion all the time around here... this opinion just happen to be one I felt strongly enough to voice...
oh and just to clarify... I don't pose or stay at 65mph all the time... even as a cop I give a 12-15mph "grace period" to drivers before busting their chops... specially someone on a bike... |
I will admit to stupidity but try to avoid it.
