Gentleman Ginoe!  I'm not sure what you're after relationship-wise, but here's hoping this works out the way you want.  Let us married guys whose social lives consist of hanging out with our wife's friends + their husbands live through you!

And by the way, didn't you just get a speeding ticket in your truck not too long ago?  :nono:  :lol:

Good write up!

Well written! That's cool that the cop was so nice to you. Maybe he was a rider too? I've seen biker cops give motorcyclists REALLY good breaks before. (For example, having one follow a guy at 90mph for 3 miles before having him pull over, only to chuckle at his bike, make a message-board-specific comment, and let him go).

I got one of those pics from my car a few weeks ago - I was going through Tenn. doing 85 in a 70. I saw him on the side of the road and he began to pull out as I passed, so I just pulled over, even going as far over as I could so he would be way out of and danger from traffic. I told him I figured I'd save him some time. He told me he clocked me at 85, I said "that's about right". He wrote me for 74 in a 70, said it's about $100 cheaper then the reg ticket. I thanked him and went on my way :D

I guess our stories show that telling the truth and cutting the BS excuses is worth it :D

Ed-Zakly!!

Lying only makes it worse...  I've actually gotten out of several tickets by just coping to it...  "Yup!  I was going to fast because I'm stupid."  "There was a stop sign there?  Jeeze I'm stupid!"

A friend of mine was pulled for going 85 in a 70...  I told him to just cop to it and don't lie...  He lied...  He got a ticket for 85 in a 70 from an angry Trooper.

It's just like a woman to bring up that kind of crap in a perfectly good "Look at my hottie" thread.  :P

i mentioned in my post about fiddling around with a new toy - a helmet cam. well, after recording an hours worth of crap i only liked this 60sec bit. i've got to position the cam better.

it's a sweeping lefthander, after passing the bmw on my right i set up for the curve. i shift my butt off the seat to the left and hang off. the turn straightens out and i get back on the seat. i think i went through it at 80mph/8000rpms.

i'm only 5'2" but i had the helmet cam perched up on the top of the helmet with the videocamera in a tankbag. it was 1st time riding with this setup, i couldn't crouch down as much with the equipment on the tank.
