So I was very fortunate tonight, to run across one of the most cool cops ever.
Backround story:
Just filled up the bike at the gas station
Hot little piece of talent kept staring at me at the gas station
I felt good about myself and the bike
I turned on my ipod and started jammin out on my way home
Hit a swarm of nasty bugs(night time so I had my visor up)
Decided to tuck into the wind screen and wasnt watching speed(my fault)
So Im cruisin....and I see the cop in the opposite lane....I think to myself oh shit....look at my speed and shows 70....I know I am in a construction zone...(MN the fines double)....I keep watching my mirrors and dont see him coming...."Phwew right?"....not a chance lol kept on cruising and the cop followed me for a long time trying to get back through the traffic to pull me over
I was nervous, and couldnt get the bike in neautral lol
Told me to just turn the bike off
Tagged me doing 73 in a 55. Asked me my driving record and I explained it to him honestly. He gave me a warning.
I couldnt have gotten any more lucky because this would have been:
Reckless driving
Speeding 15+ over the limit
Construction zone infraction
would have probably cost me about $800.....
I am so thankful. Its a reminder to me to watch my speed, and also a reminder to all of you, please watch your speed guys, I know its fun to go fast(I do all the time), but this was a nice wakeup call to watch my speed to stay safe.
here is a vid of the incident....watch from about the 1:00 point on.....I increased the volume so you can here the officer speak. I did speed up the pace of the vid.
