Earlier today I went to a small toy run (35 bikes) on one of the Gulf Islands (Salt Spring). Coming back off of the ferry with a friend we were buzzing down the highway. Oh no, COP! 8O Throttle off! Sure as $hit, rollers are on. %&#!!!! :evil: Ok, so both of us are pulled over. Cop, "I had the radar on you guys twice, and clocked you both at 109km/hr, you didn't even try to slow down. Didn't you see me?" I muttered something about being a nice day, and it felt like a comfortable speed. I didn't DARE tell him I was going faster! My friend told me later she had braked! Cop, "I'm sure it felt comfortable, but the speed limit is 80 km/hr, and you were doing 109! I'm going to let you off with a warning, slow down!" Somehow I got the feeling he rode a bike, and asked him if he did. Sure enough, he did. He's got a Volusia!
I think we had a few things going for us. We are "mature" riders, I was on my 1100, and she was riding a BMW cruiser, we riding in the slow lane, our speed was constant, it was a BEAUTIFUL day, there were two of us, one was female, and the cop rides a bike too. I think if we had been two twenty something guys wearing full leather race suits riding bendover bikes we would have been toast!
I've NEVER heard of anybody getting a warning for 29 km over! Yup, must be horseshoes. I clink when I walk! :lol:
