Yesterday while riding home from work I was in my town of Plesantview on a nice 2 lane road with a posted speed limit of 45 MPH.
I got behind a large SUV going 40 mph.
It was such a pretty day and I knew the road well. I came to a passing zone and decided that
I was going to pass this large vehichle on a Sunday drive, sooooooo I just stayed in 3rd and rolled it on a little passing the SUV as I get back over in my lane I see a County Sheriff sitting under a tree shooting radar
I think...... Hmmmm 2 choices here, down shift into 2nd and take on the open road and his driving abilites or nail the front brakes and nose dive it down to close the speed limit. I chose option 2 since I was getting off work and a little tired and it was in my small home town and chances are I would be seeing this cop again..... Front end nose dives down and as I pass him the blue lights come on
I pull over in to a large pull off area and take my helmet off before he even walks up to me....
Cop: Good afternoon (with a smirk on his face
Me: Good afternoon officer.
Cop: Do you know why I am pulling you over?
Me: I am guessing not abiding the posted speed limit, I thought the speed limit was 55 and the vehichle in front of me was traveling 40 and I seen it was safe to pass.
Cop: I clocked you at 84
Me: I am sorry no disrect was intended on your road I didnt realize that my speed got that high I wanted to pass as quickly and safely as the road conditions allowed me.
Cop: Ohh I know about these Hayabusas and how quick they acccelerate.
Me: I get up and to get my wallet out
Cop: No need for that, just becareful and have a good day, I am just glad I didnt have to try and run you down.
Me: Thank you very much officer have a good day and becareful.
