Well, I'm an idiot...I was riding along I-90 this evening in the express lanes doing about 90 mph when my lanes merged with the regular traffic. Everyone was going so s-l-o-w, and I was thinking, "what...is there a cop around here or something?" I rode on for a couple of more miles, passing *everyone*, when I saw the flashing lights in my mirrors.

For a second I was convinced the cop was going to pass me, but as I pulled over, so did he. I think he was surprised to see a girl when I pulled of my helmet. "Do you know how fast you were going?" "no" "Are you in a hurry?" "Well, it's cold and I was hoping to get home quickly for a hot tea."

He let me off with only a warning - thankfully! Damn...I think it would have been a pricy ticket (30 miles over the speed limit). I'll slow down...especially at night - that's not the smartest way to ride anyway. I'm going to sign up for track days too - so I can get this outta my system safely. It's nice to have a sympathetic cop every now and then.

Still, he said he was following me "since the tunnel" (that was three miles away - and I didn't notice him back there - oops!)

you're so lucky!

girls got it easy...

:kiss:

yeah girls got it easy.. esp hot girls.. i mean i have seen your pic.. your attractive..

bah if i was doing it... i would have gotten a nice ticket on my record (so far that is clean.. yay radar detector).

At least you only got a warning, this guy's an even bigger idiot, he got lots of tickets...
Police nab 220km/h harbour tunnel biker

true dat. i got pulled over on I-70 by brazil, IN, for 85 in a 65. i was on my way to school. Cop asked where I was going in such a hurry. I said school. He said "Well, you're gonna be late." now, if i was a hot chick, or maybe if the cop was ghey, i might have gotten out of it. just goes to show,

BOOBS RULE!!

Well, it worked this time (boobs? smile? I'm not sure what - prolly the smile, since I was bundled up ). But I might not be so lucky next time. And to think I was debating whether to get an R6...now *that* would get me into trouble. No, I like my GS...but we'll be on the track for sure this summer!

were you in leathers? leathers make any girl hot, and tend to spawn dominatrix-esque fantasies... Is your picture on the wall of fame? I'm working on getting mine up, but the only digicam i have access to saves BMPs, the only photoeditor i have access to doesn't have net access. so it'll take a while...

Yeah - I'm in the hall of fame (although I should be moved to the hall of shame after last night's goof). I wasn't in leathers...sorry I *was* wearing full gear, tho, as always.

I agree about the leathers look tho - I wore a pvc outfit to a party last fall (long story) and guys kept telling me I intimidated them. If you knew me, you'd laugh. I'm the biggest pushover...totally not intimidating!

Now git yer picture up on the site! Pronto!  :lol:

So Jean!  Did you end up deciding that you like Cavaliers so much that you bought one?   :lol:

I heard that at 90 mph on 65 freeway they can impound your vehicle. Can someone confirm this? What exactly are the penalties for speeding on freeway and on local? About a week ago I was doing more than 100 on a 35 mph road. I stopped for a car (single lane)

I might be wrong saying this, but it is funny to me that everytime a woman posts anything there are about 400% more replys. This place is as bad as a teen chat...."A.S.L.? ur hot! brb gotta pic"

No Mark, you're right.

That men & women thing, phew!

I didn't mean it about the Cavalier jab (well, maybe a little bit   ). But they were out of cars and I had a reservation so the people in line were getting the next available cars. To drive off in a mustang convertable when you paid for a economy ride would have been great! The couple ahead of me had good karma (no pun intended).

And yeah...I was on another forum (is that cheating?) and some girl wrote, "I'm new to the area and here's a picture of me on my bike." There was a picture of some hot chick in a bikini sitting on a gixxer. Well, she had, like, 400 replies. All from guys writing, "well, if you want to ride with me sometime..." LOL!

But this is a *serious* thread! I could have gotten is big trouble! What is the penalty, btw, for 30 mph over? Ticket price? Impound? Wreckless charge? Damn, my insurance would have been through the roof!

Well I got my first speeding ticket last year in 2002 Dodge Neon ACR. Going 92 in a 70. 22 mph over. It turned out to be a $156 dollar ticket. My insurance was just renewed this month, and its dropped $20 a month. maybe becuase I'll be 25 in June? Maybe a dropped alot, then they hiked it up becuase of the ticket, and the result is a $20/month don't know.

I have gotten out of several speeding tickets before by just showing my concealed weapons permit.    Most of the time if you pull over without any problems, they will be lenient and you may just get a slap on the wrist.

price of tickets depends on the county,city and state... in most cases they either have block fines or mileage fines or combination. By block fine, if you were pulled over 10 over, you pay so much + court fees and stuff.. if you are 20 over you pay a bit more. In other cases you pay per excess mph.. in which case it can add up really fast.

In generally if your over 35 mph cops can pull you over for reckless endangerment. (90 in a 55). In CA if you hit 100 and get pulled over its an automatic revokation of your licence. Also in CA street racing is a crime and your licence can be revoked..

Jean you probably were looking at about 250-300 dollars for 35 over..
