THE SLOW RIDER
Registered
Got my prize in the mail from MC Mustang and I was very surprised! A Jorenzo watch! Awesome. Thanks much MC you are a class dude :bowdown:

However I always believe in playing it forward so to show my appreciation I am running my own contest. So this prize goes to the best speeding story, voting will be by org again.

PS: I know I had it on upside down!

I've attended many bashes. ...I was coming down to Robbinsville and was the lead rider and got pegged for going 62 or so in a 55....see Loomis for video. I had a couple stop with me for nothing but we're here for you.
 
I've been North on 3 figures many times to get stopped at 60s was a defining moment...
 
Oh yeah. Contest ends on Friday at 11:59 PM. Voting ends on Monday at 11:59 PM. All times determined by post time (est).
 
You're very welcome! Thanks for paying it forward!
 
BTW: The prize is not my watch! That goes in my trophy case as it is the only time I will be able to beat Tiller in anything :laugh: The prize is something else that has to do with speeding and is pretty cool I think .......
 
I was nice, and paid the price.

121 in 50, plus 'following too closely'. Attorney. Fees. I kept my license. 15 points stayed on my license for a few months, and then expired as the 18 months period since the violation occurred has ended.

A short speed run, saw no cops, seemingly no unmarked cars, was way ahead of traffic on a virtually empty highway... As I slowed down and was taking the exit, an unmarked car pushes me to the shoulder. Turned out to be a stater trooper... A few min lecture which I hardly heard through the ear plugs... "you gonna lose your license"... "at least you are wearing safety gear...". Luckily, the trooper didn't take the bike.

It happened some years ago. I went for a short ride on a highway I knew well. There was an empty stretch of road ahead of me for 1/2 mile or so - perfect for experiencing those 10-15 sec. of joy. Three cars in front of me blocking me. I hesitated and decided not to go between the cars being concerned this may scare the drivers. Waited another half a minute or so until one of the cars moved ahead, thus creating an opening. Went through, and did my thing.

Turns out an unmarked unit caught up to me while I was waiting for the opening "following too closely". After I went through the opening, so did the unmarked unit and apparently was following me all the way until I slowed down for the exit. The road in front of me was practically empty for good half a mile or more, with maybe 2-3 cars total, all in the middle or right lanes.

Never again will I be that nice and wait for a clearing. BTW, this is one example where my radar detector was absolutely useless. The trooper simply looked at his speedometer.
 
It was in 1988. Back when I had few more bucks into toys than I do these days. I had a Porsche and a new German G/F in Florida. Between Orlando airport and where I lived there are only 2 ways to get back and forth from these 2 points. Its about 60ish miles. One was interstate and the other was a back road 4 lane highway that at that time was pretty much zero traveled. It was the boonies back then. But a great road.

I had been in Budapest for 3 months on business. Trust me there was SOOOOO much temptation there to stray, but I didn't. Hence I was in a hurry to get home. My flight arrived at 1AM. You don't have a lot of choice there. She came to the airport in a trench coat to meet me. I could barely make it through baggage claim without a public display.

I was hauling ass home with her in the car, we were both ummmm errrr anxious let's say to get home.

It was like 2AM and I hadn't seen anything less than triple digits for miles. To tell you the truth I can't say how fast it was, as I had my mind focused on getting home quickly with both hands on the wheel.....lol.

I blew past a cop, didn't even know it. All of a sudden I saw blue lights in my rearview mirror. C R A P!!!!!!

I pulled over, had my license and registration already out. I noticed he unsnapped his pistol strap as he exited his car. Never a good sign. He approached from the passenger side. Sir do you know why I stopped you? Yes sir because I was hauling ass. He said I clocked you at 130. What in the hell are you thinking? Sir I have been gone for 3 months. I haven't touched a woman in those 3 months. I have been a really good boy and REALLY want to get home and spend some time with my g/f here. If you are going to ticket me please do so quickly.

Son I may arrest you. Officer if you so can I please have 10 minutes alone with her before you do so? Because if not, I don't think I can promise that the back of your car won't get messed up, as she has already shown me in the airport parking lot what she has on under that trench coat. If you were any kind of a man you'd understand this.

That caused him to pause a bit. He shined the light on her in the passenger seat. From head to toe. Ma'am do you have anything illegal on you? Being the smart girl she was, she spoke to him in German. He had NO CLUE what she said. She said to him that she didn't speak English but a very little. (She was fluent in English...lol).

He kind of just didn't know where to go with this at that point. So I figured I had nothing to lose. Officer, you seriously are going to tell me that if you hadn't touched a woman in 3 months, and this is what you came home to, that you wouldn't be in a hurry to get her home? My car is perfectly safe at these speeds, there isn't a soul in sight, and I know what's underneath that trench coat.

Sir...wait right here. He checked me out, found I had no record and that all my paperwork was up to speed. He came back....this time to the drivers side of the car. Sir I appreciate your honesty. You have a clean record, lets not ruin that tonight. Please drive safely with both hands on the wheel and try to slow it down a little. I looked up at him to make eye contact. He winked at me and said....Have a Nice night.

I hauled ass the rest of the way home.......LOL.

Sorry I don't believe that without pictures of you and a girl (even with clothes on) that is so smoking hot that you couldn't wait. :laugh:

So don't even think about just posting a picture of a hot smoking girl without you in it, from the late 80's. :laugh:


Wait I just reread the OP's post and he did say STORY and I didn't see the word TRUE anywhere. So if we can make up stories then let the fun begin. :rofl:
 
I don't qualify for the prize, as MC already sent me a can of Rossi juice. :laugh:

But this is a funny true story:

I'm a competitive cyclist and once there were two LEO's sitting in town at the bottom of a steep incline.

With a bit of a tailwind, coming down the hill, head flat on the bars of the bicycle I was flying, so I get to the bottom and the one LEO waves me to stop and I pull over.

LEO: "How fast do you think you were going down this hill? Can I have your ID please?"

Me: "Sure, here is my ID."

LEO: "How fast do you think you were going ????"

Me: "Sir, I have no freekin idea how fast I was going. You see sir, the fuse that works my windshield wipers, my air conditioner and my speedometer is blown, and I cannot find anyone who can fix it. Would you mind giving it a shot sir? Or do you want to cite me for faulty equipment which cannot be repaired? "

The other LEO comes over and starts laughing, eventually they both have a chuckle, ask me to slow down a bit next time and be careful. When I asked them how fast I was going, the reply was: "You don't want to know, and if we tell you we have to cite you."
 
i would love to participate in this but its pointless at this time! So here a re a few of my stories...

I was in my 1991 ford mustang lx 5.8 gt 40 heads and intake, 100 shot, inter-cooler, 25 lbs of boost, borla exhaust,plenty of dino time ya know my pride and joy. It was roughly 2 in the morning i was headed home from work on i29 heading north to Missouri Valley which is were i lived at the time. If you know the area at all its a dead interstate at this time of morning. I didn't see anyone and really hadn't tested this car out much so i decided now was the time. Not a soul in site. Around honey creek i put the pedal to the metal and grabbed a hand full of nos max boost and rolled. I came around the bend at roughly 150 still accelerating. It was awesome and one hell of a rush i shut her down at 165 mph. Got off on my exit at Missouri Valley and hit the gas station there. Pumped up some good 92 octane and headed inside to pay. I came back out after paying and noticed a car pulling into the gas station. Looked a little closer it was an unmarked Iowa state trooper car. So i get to my drivers door and low and behold the lights come on. Mr Officer steps out of his vehicle walks up to me and asks were i have been tonight. I said just getting off work heading home. He asks me just how fast was i traveling on the way home......At this moment i paused...Does this guy know what i had just done or is he fishing.... I thought better of lieing to him so i said i was moving right along...You know kind of an open answer. He asked if i needed a refresher on precisely how fast i was going. My stomach dropped. He knew. I said honestly i wasn't really paying attention to the speed o officer but i was moving. His response was i clocked you at 157 mph as you went by me. I said wow i didn't see you anywhere. He was sitting in the center median by the old weight station that used to be there. He said you went buy me so fast it shook my car and at first i wasn't sure what had happened...he apparently was sitting doing paperwork on the one and only other car i saw that night heading south. It took him almost 5 minutes to catch up to me and get to the station. My list of tickets was thoroughly impressive. he wrote me for 155 mph in a 65 zone. Wrote me for reckless driving, excessive acceleration, reckless endangerment, no plates, no proof of insurance, fleeing, and last but not least a broken tail light. I will not mention how much it cost me cash wise, but i did go to jail, stayed in jail till court, had 2000 hours of community service, lost my dl for 1 year, on probation 1 year, and had to carry high risk insurance for 5 years. Now let me say i was young when this happened. The no insurance was dropped as i had full coverage, the no plates was dropped as i had them as well just in the trunk...fresh body work hadn't put them on yet. Nice thing about the whole situation, they didnt tow my car! Officer let me drive it home and followed me and picked me up from home! Damn nicest thing an officer has ever done for me!

I'll actually see if I actually have any pics from that era anymore. That was before the internet and digital cameras. I'll have to scan it if I can find something.

Pretty amazing story ! Fleeing? How would he know you saw him and didn't stop on the red lights flashing? Excessive acceleration? You passed him sitting still. Oh well... once you have that many strikes against you in one encounter than its pretty much downhill unless you have an attorney that will fight for you. To bad you had to stop for gas where he could find you. I must say you sure paid a price for your guilty pleasure even though they didn't tow your car. Nowadays they might crush it out here just on principle. Speeding in triple digits is always risky no matter where you are. Just one bird or coyote could spoil your day.
