Long story short, i bet a friend i could make it home from work in ten minutes. The first run i didnt have any problems made it home with time to spare. It started to become a habit and that was my routine for about a week. I cruised at about 114- 120, opened all the way up to 190 on the long straight aways. Before yall give me the ugly face, yeah i was asking for trouble or worse. But the damn bike handles like a f'ing dream and i dont think i hit more that 9k rpms, riding that fast its tunnel vision all the way so dont quote me on that one. Anyways... I passed a 18 wheeler and didnt see the cop on the other side. But he saw me and followed. I slowed down when i hit traffic further up the road. Thats when i first saw the cop and he lit me up with the lights, and i pulled over. Ticket # one. Again, getting off work and nothing on the road but 18 wheelers. After the first ticket didnt push my bike past 60 even on the interstate for 3 days. I obeyed the the traffic laws right up to that long straight away. There was nothing in front of me but one 18 wheeler and a one car. Car turned out to be unmarked statey. Makes you miss the days when all cops had those ten gallon size lights on top of their cars, you could spot them a mile away. When he caught up with me he commented on how well i handled the bike...the fugger, and gave me an option a ticket or jail. I rode home that night!
You can say i was scared straight, havent sped since. i dont even get on the interstate on my way home from work. It's gotten so bad little old ladies are passing me and i've come to the realization no one drives the speed limit.I dont plan on riding that fast outside of being on someones track but i want that feeling back of knowing im riding a beast. Even if i never truly unleash her.
I need a Radar Dectector. Looking for one online is a joke. All the sites claim theirs is the best but as you read about their specs they dont have this or dont have that. Or they cost more than six months of bank payments. Do you all have any suggestions on good detectors? The one stipulation i have is that i work the air force base and i need to be able to remove it before i enter the base.
Thanx in advance
