Ugh, I always dreaded this day that I get pulled over on all things my bike. And something told me it was going to happen yesterday too. But basically to make a long story short, I had just got off work (working in ~100 degree weather for 5 hours, hadn't eaten, hadn't relaxed quite yet) when after I got home I call my girlfriend telling her I just got home and was about to eat. I had called her earlier saying I would come pick her up later and we would do whatever. But she got a hissy fit (time of the month) saying that she thought I said I was going to be right over as soon as I got home and I wasn't about to argue with her for long, so I gave in and said I'll get you now.
So I saddle up on the bike as I wanted to save gas and get the ride over with. So I'm riding a little heated...I hop onto the interstate and instead of cruising at 80mph, I hold it to about 105mph. I'm in the HOV lane about to get over to pass a Maroon colored car into the middle lane when I notice that car suddenly brake, and I think to myself, there's probably a cop up here. So I slow down to the same speed as the car and make the lane switch to the middle lane. Sure enough, I can see a cop sitting outside with his gun.
I slowed down to 75, but I guess it was somehow too late. And I had no idea this cop was going to come after me, and I didn't turn my head once, just checked my mirrors, as I didn't want to be too obvious. But about a half mile down after speeding back up to 80 or so, the cop is on my ass. And naturally, I screamed FUCK!!! I'm seriously pissed off now but I kept my cool and just pulled over.
I threw on the emergencies, took the key out of the ignition, took my helmet off, and put the kick stand down and the cop just got to me. He told me to give him my key and I did and then asked me for licence, insurance, and registration. I gave him everything and forgot I hadn't put my registration back in my wallet and couldn't give him that. But he ran the tags and of course its mine. So anyway, he clocked me at 81 in a 65, but ticketed me for 74. He was cool about it saying that he used to ride a long time ago on some kind of Yamaha, but forgot what. I was telling him about how I was planning to sell the bike and go figure that this happens right before I even attempt to do so. And we just conitued the conversation for a few minutes.
We shook hands and then went our merry ways.
