Went home for lunch today and decided to ride my busa back to work in full gear even though it is 97 w/ 50% humidity (got a 30 min ride w/ some good twistys). Was stuck behind these two SUV cagers for a couple of miles, roasting while doing 50mph. Came to a T, and they pulled out in the same direction I was going , so I nail it blow by them about 100 or so, then coasted back to 80 and enjoyed my air flow. I look in my rear view mirror and the jeep I passed is tailgating the crap out of me, so I decided to create some space and demonstrate where his vehicle stands on the food chain. I nail it through 5th gear, hit 160+ then turn at the stop sign and continue heading to work almost w/i in the speed limit . About a mile later, this same jeep is on my tail again, but with blue lights flashing and a freakishly loud siren blaring. I promptly pull over, remove my gear and wait for the impending arrest. The LEO’s get out, visibly pissed. I explained that I thought he was a tail-gater and was just creating some space. I’m not gonna lie, I was scared as crap and told them I was. I was in full business dress w/ the shoes, pants & button down under my gear, they questioned me, pacing around the bike, asked me how fast I got up to and I told them. Then, the miracle occurred, out of nowhere, the LEO told me he was going to let me go! Told me to let that be a warning, any other time I will be arrested and taken to jail immediately.
Lets recap:
Lesson 1: Take a second to look in the cars that ur passing, might save u some trouble later
Lesson 2: Always pull over for the cops, live to ride another day
Lesson 3: Always wear full gear even when it’s hot as crap outside cuz u never know when ur gonna fly by an unmarked popo (may come in handy based on ur immediate decisions afterward)
Lesson 4: After such a chain of events, deplete the bank account and buy lottery tickets, cuz it’s ur lucky day!
