He let me go!!!!!!!!!

Big Dan, It almost sounds like you were going through Cairo IL. They got me I was doing a little over a 100. The cop wrote me up for 77. He did me a huge favor considering i'm on a CDL. I paid the ticket by mail and they never reported to the DMV. I got real lucky.

Sometimes even a good attitude don't help...In the last 20 years...I got 2 tickets 5 years apart...
By the same cop, at the same intersection, for a California right turn...I beat him twice in court...

Well yall know how it goes - sometahms ah jes caint hep mahsef..........

If this is a repeat for some my apologies in advance.

I used to own a CL175 Honda - the grandpa of today's Rebels............Lord knows I did my level best to tear that thing up and simply could not do it. Rode that lil butt breaker all over Texas.

I used to commute from here in Katy (west Houston) over close to Hobby Airport on the S.E. side of town where I had a gig making bales outta beer cans and loading them on boxcars for Alcoa. I had the 3 to midnight shift.

Well this day I was runnin pretty late and was haulin buns layin down on the tank just weaving my way thru mid afternoon traffic on I-10 givvin that lil twin all she could stand ( I reckon around 85 - 90)

All of a sudden like I got the feelin someone was 'watchin me' - I sat up and looked behind me at the big grin on an HPD motor officers face on his KZ900 about 10 feet behind me - so I got off the gas and coasted to the shoulder / killed the bike and sat there awaiting my fate.
He got off his and very s l o w l y strolled all the way around my little Honda...........came back around to my left, dropped his shades down and said "DAYUM son I had no idear one o those lil things would GO that FAST!"

I sheepishly grinned a bit and shared that I was runnin a little late for work.......

"A LITTLE LATE? God help us if you was really in a damned HURRY! Now BACK OFF the gas son and don't let me catch you cutting lanes like that EVER again!!"

(I'm thinkin the only reason he didn't write me up was it was just about shift change time for his bunch and he was heading for the barn.............)

the only one i got away with was when i just listened then he looked at me and said why arent you wearing a helmet i told this guy it was a nice night dark road and i was looking at all the stars he looked up and good thing it was a star struck night he shook his head and said go away that has every other excuse i ever heard beat then he followed me about ten miles but that was probably because of the patch on my back

Last spring I left Raleigh around 10:30 AM headed home to the Syracuse area. It got cold around sundown and started raining at Gettysburg. Long about 11:30 pm, 25 miles from home, soaking wet and cold (about 40 degrees) I was doing about 85 and passing a semi when I saw the deputy sitting in the median. Oh, "Potty mouth" and I slowed down to about 75 and kept going.

He stopped me a couple of miles later, walked up and said that my tail light was out. I got off to look and my T-bag ha just drooped down and covered the lense. He asked where I was going and, when I told him, just said to keep my flashers on and take it easy until I got home.

I didn't even take off the full helmet to show him my white hair but I did speak respectfully...

last year heading south on I390 about 3 in the afternoon some kid in on a ricer was dogging me ..sooo. i took off just to get away from him just as the limit went from 65 to 55.. well i look in the blury mirror and see a single headlight pull into my lane and start catching up to me...I was headin to the ex's to pick up some mail and in a bad mood to begin with... at about 95 i look in the blury mirror to see that single headlight turn into red and blue flashing lights...Damn.. he's about 1/2 mile behind me, so i just pull over and take off my helmet and shut it down. he comes up and askes me what my hurry is...I told him exactly the story i relate here...he says.. well i guess i wouldnt want to be u right now either... slow down so you can enjoy your ride, and.. nice bike. I think it was the ricer blowing his horn as he passed me that made him let me go.

marc · January 26, 2009, 05:20:16 PM

In all honesty I have gotten away with a lot...I show respect, yes sir, no sir, no attitude and so on...It works most of the time for me...

Panzer · January 26, 2009, 06:06:08 PM

When I was 17, I had my dads car, a 53 Merc., with overdrive.
Down the main drag out of town, I passed a cop (doing 80mph) sitting in a patrol car off the apron & kinda tucked in.
I saw the red and blue lights come on and I slowed down and pulled over to the shoulder and he pulled in behind me.....gulp.
He slowly came up to my window, crossed his arms and said, "You know son, I've been waiting all day for you".
I just said, "Yes sir,............... I got here as fast as I could".

We he stopped laughing, he let me go with a warning.........wheeeeeeew!

tireater · January 26, 2009, 08:07:44 PM

So the cop asked me if I was drinking....I said ..'why...is there a fat girl on the back seat....?'

Sonny S. · January 27, 2009, 01:25:14 PM

Ya'll must be lucky or somethin. Me, and even my buddy's always end up getting tickets, and I don't have a clue what we could be doing wrong.
Here's a fine example of an Ohio State Trooper that pulled us over for speeding, notice the ticket book in his left hand...yup, he wrote us up

Bakon · January 27, 2009, 03:02:34 PM

Ohio is a tuff state to speed. Heard they write each other in marked cars.

Sonny. Is your buddy doing what it looks like he is doing?

f-x-d-w-g · January 28, 2009, 06:05:03 AM

I was gonna ask the same thing...

Got away many times because my brother was a deputy sheriff and jailer, lawman of the year award. The last time I was doing about 60 in a 35 zone and 2 State Patrol cars pulled me over on my bike. One looked at my lic and reg and walked back to the other one, then came back and said have a nice day Mr. Xxxxx and slow down so you don't hit a deer. Whole thing took about 1 minute. As he turned around to walk back to his car I asked, "Did you know my brother"? He answered, "Yes I was at his funeral".
Good younger brother was still helping me out.

Many years ago when I was a freshman in college, I spent a day with a neighbor of ours who was a Lt in the Ca state patrol as apart of a socialogy class. We were sitting on the side of the road under a shade tree when this guy on a KZ 900 Kaw goes by like a bat out of hell. My neighbor kicked the old cruiser into gear and started chasing. We got to about 110MPH and the guy on the Kaw is pulling away. George gets on the radio to see if their are any other CHP's down the road...and no one was available. He looks over at me..and says hell we aint going to catch him....there is no sense in wasting anymore gas...and he shuts down the old Mopar cruiser.
About 2 miles down the road, here is the guy on the Kaw sitting on the shoulder...George pulls over and turns on the lights....and asks the guy. Why did you pull over? You had me out ran. They guy laughs and says....I ran out of gas....it cracked old George up....he gave him a gallon of gas he kept in his trunk and let the guy go

When I had my 750 Honda I thought I would try it without the bags and Vetter fairing for a while. Any way I went to the usual donut shop at night, had some coffee and donuts with the guys and got a half dozen donuts to take home. Hopped on the bike and headed to the entrance ramp of 495 in Marlo Heights, MD and figured what the heck I'll see how she takes off. Hit a little over 95 and the road behind me lit up. I pulled over and the State Trooper asked me if I saw the Trooper in front of me. I told him no and I didn't even see him, that made him laugh. I said I just got the bike tuned up and thought I would try it out. He said he had a Harley and I said I sure wish I could afford one of those. Actually back then there was no way I would want one. Anyway he just gave me a warning and let me go. Got stopped on my Yamaha and a few times on the BMW's - only verbal warnings. Oh yes once with the Sportster - just a warning.

A cop wearing a mask..........what will they think of next.
