Yeah, he took the picture, but I couldn't talk him out of the performance award.  :smiley: Nice guy, professional. With all the cop bashing going on it was nice to meet him, actually. I deserved it, can't complain. It coulda been worse.  :evil:

Now if you would trade that thar crotch rocket for a real bike, dress up like you are going to a village people reunion and ride with 40-50 of your bros in tight formation, youwould not be gettin hassled by the man.

Seriously, sorry you got a ticket but I'm impressed with your attitude about it.

Had a good chuckle when I looked at the complete picture.  It is a good one by the way.  What state?  Were on your way to the Ohio rally?

   The Scura is definately not faster than the Charger. I've ridden in one   :wink:   Those things come with an 8 liter engine as well as some performance upgrades. No point trying to outrun one.

When my white head and gray beard and the rest of it pops out from under my helmet ... you can almost see the officer going "Oh geez .... just get on down the road and don't act the idiot!"

But I guess when you're clocked at 107 MPH, it's a little different ... ?
