Let's be honest, forthright and candid here. No embellishing the truth to enhance your standing(if you have one) on this Forum.

!.  Last auto citation, and for what?
2. Last bike citation, and why?
3. Have you ever "run", and the outcome?

Personally,

1.  81 in a 65MPH zone...August '04
2.  Never
3. Waaay back in the late '60s, when the "lights" came on, I quickly ducked down a side street, ditched my passenger, and did a cut and run through every alley and narrow street I came upon in downtown Cincinnati. Got away!  :o  I'm sure if I tried that now, my heart rate would get so high that I have a heart attack before the news cameras could have me on the 11 o'clock news.  :laugh:

2004...I forgot to register my Porsche and my temp tags expired.

2. Last bike citation, and why?

Never had one.

3. Have you ever "run", and the outcome?

When I was younger...no point in running if you can't get away.  My ideals have changed rather drastically in the last several years.  Not only would I not run now, I'd assist in stopping whoever does.

1. I have had four or five, I dont remember the details but they were all for speeding

2. My only bike citation was for doing 86 mph in a 60 but the officer lowered it to 70 in a 60.

3. Yes three times when I was younger. I got away every time, but I wouldn't try it now.

1.  '04 Jeep Cherokee - sometime in Dec of 05.  Coasting 30 in a 15 around the drill field helping someone move when i really wanted to go home to my lovly GF.  took the course and have been clean since.

2.  Warning. 32 in a 25 on my way to work at my previous position sometime in Sept of 05

3.  when i was 14 I "borrowed" my dads friends Stingray (324).  I was in the "country" and I( saw a cop in the median and when i passed his brake lights came on.  I ducked off on a side road that i knew very well and parked behind the firehouse on that road.  The cop then drove by with his lights on.  I assume that he was coming for me but i never really will know.

To clarify the situations were like weaselnoze and natedawg120. Just ditched the cops after I saw them start to come after me.

Only one auto citation, 52 in a 35. I usually speed 10 over and cops have never gotten on me about it.

Never had a bike ticket. Coming back from Michigan last summer I was bout 40 miles outside Mobile and exhausted! So I was running wide open laying on the tank, I was in the left lane and saw a cop in the median. I didnt even wait for him to pull out, I immediatly pulled over. Ofcourse he came after me, bout 50feet.  :laugh: He gave me the what do you think your doing!?!? I think he got how much I just wanted to be home, I was so deaf from not wearing plugs ever time he asked a question and a truck flew by I'd say, wait what? I'm sorry what? I couldnt hear you? He said since he didnt have to chase me I could go. I didnt kno if he actually clocked me or not or was just glad I actually pulled over, I was doing an indicated 110 or so. Def. stupid wouldnt do again.

Never ran, but have done a pre empted emergency U turn on to a side street to cover my butt.

1.  Last auto citation, and for what?
Lets see...  I've only gotten 2 citations ever (been on the road for 6 years).  Both were in the same month two years ago.  The first was for screeching my tires ($50).  The second was for having (and using) blue police lights.  He was so ticked, he gave me a $500 ticket for a combination of speeding (72 in 55), bald tire, and blue light usage.  Took lights away from me.  I also had to take a $90 saturday course to keep my license.


2. Last bike citation, and why?
Never.  I'm more mature now.

3. Have you ever "run", and the outcome?
Never.

1986 944...only burgundy car I've ever liked.

Cars = one. 1983, exhibition of speed. 15 in a 25 zone. Was doing a power slide around a corner. Never paid, not my license either.

Motorcycle = one. 55 in 35. fought it and got it down to 45. The bad part, I was being passed at the time. go figure. Oh .... last year.

I have never run from the cops.

1. One an only ticket, well it was supposed to be reckless driving, I was racing at what was then the local illegal dragstrip. Cops came after us once we started, I saw the lights...ohh wait that will be saved for question 3.

2. No moto tickets yet

3. Saw the lights, figured screw it, I am doing like 80-90MPH in a 30 so I kept it to the floor. I thought I made it away, untill a few miles down the road a cop pulls out of nower and says that they were looking for me. I explain that yes I was racing but I ...umm...never saw the lights. He says something along the line of "well do you see them now", so yeah, goto court, being only 16, juvinelle court, cop did not put a description on ticket, so I made up some bullshit story to tell the judge and the judge lets me off with an inattentive driving ticket and a $30 fine.  My mom was there and new the true story, I think she about shaZam! her pants when I straight up lied to the judge, I think she is still mad at me about that like 5 years later.

I owe my mom one
