If you can bail and get away then more power to you. Doesn't bother me in the least, other than the fact that I'm not fast enough to pull it off so I always have to pull over. We all know nanny legislation is going to put an end to race replicas eventually no matter what we do so fuck it.

Speeding tickets. What a fucking scam.

yeah we should all be allowed to go as fast as we want, and talk on the cell phone while doing it!!!

No I disagree. Riding at higher levels of speed requires higher levels of concentration that would be negated by a cell phone conversation. Going "as fast as we want" could also be dangerous in certain situations.

Its "ok" to do 75 in a 60 on a straight 8 lane highway on a vehicle built for racing. There is a serious problem with speed limits being kept intentionally low so local PD and HPO can benefit monetarily off speed traps that are creating more of a safety hazard then they claim to be preventing. Meanwhile, more serious infractions like following too closely are going unenforced because you can't really call that one from your spot at the top of a bridge over a highway. But then again, following too closely doesn't generate big revenue.

I've been reading your posts for a third of my life Ed, I know you have a lot of trouble applying shades of grey to everyday events...so don't strain yourself too hard over this one.

Good for you. We are all glad you are the fastest rider on two wheels and can out run every cop in the Union. Who cares, dickus, move on.

oh so if you have a high performance bike, then all the hgh performance bike riders are capable of riding it well, I C.

funny how often we hear whining about 'tard drivers at the current speed limits we have, so lets make the speeds higher, it'll be safer.......yeah thats the ticket......

9 times out of 10 on the bike or in the cage I'm just pulling over and taking my medicine and 'hope' the officer cuts me some slack like they have many times before. I've been very lucky...a few times.

The only time I may 'run' is if I'm close to the house...know exactly where I am and the officer has to turn around and start his pursuit after I'm already 'rolling'.

When I was younger I thought a little different and may 'tempt fate' a little more but these days....knowing how much worse it's going to be IF I run and get caught...scew it...I'm most likely pulling over.

kinda weird is that in germany w/ teh famed autobahn, anybody can drive as fast as they can. it's all or none. you can't say people w/ hi-po bikes are allowed to go XXX and soccer moms only XX..........
