Never got a ticket on my bike. I try to keep it to no more than 5 > limit.
*Except*... when in the Ga. mountains, which are a big attraction for bikers around here. The LEOs seem to sensibly cut riders some slack up there, since excess of the posted limits on most of the twisties (25 to 30) are *much* better handled on a bike than the typical weekend sightseeing car/pickup/RV/poof-mobile (and the cops seem to understand this... within reason).
Now, tickets in my car... that's another story... the past three years are probably the first time in my > 40 years of driving that my license has been speed free... Last one was 15 over the limit, for $365, and paid a super-speed for a stepson last year, 55 in a 25 (school zone when lights are flashing) for $600.
