i may or may not have been going 55-65(not sure) in a 25 which i may or may not have done on 1 wheel whilst going through a neighbor hood in front of 2 fine officers of the law. SHitting my pants the whoel time thinking fuck fuck fuck im gonna get arrested fat ass ticket and TL goes to the evil impound yard. By some stroke of luck and knowing 1 of the officers i got off with a warning and a throrough explanation on how picking me up with a snowshovel would be a bad thing.

Yep. the day a jerk off made a left turn in front of me at a red light. happened to be a cop sitting on the red. I seen her turn on the berries after I went through the intersection. I went around the block and yep she had him. Gave her a wave as I went by.

Yep, theres always a serene sense of satisfaction and the "sigh" of Karma in that. I may drive fast, but I hate people who drive fast and like assholes. I love seeing them blow by me, already knowing the cop is sitting just around the corner.

I twist the throttle and now going 150-170... straight highway. Pure stupid but better than being caugt at 125 in a 70.

And I never ever got off the highway when running... that is what they expect. Instead...160+ and just go on my merry way.
And this is where, down here, they break out the roadblocks and the helicopters and airplanes just to track and make sure the roadblock is in the right spot!

I usually wait about 2 to 3 exits and get off. I then ride at the speed limit to my destination or stop somewhere and take a break. If you continue to speed down the same highway, you're asking for multiple contacts. IMHO. I have video of us running from the cops when we were filming "626 Michigan Mayhem" and 1096. It's almost tragic the difference in acceleration and speed between a bike and a cop car.

The Chi drives fast, and hates people with anal fixation that speed.

It is meant to be read: "I drive fast, but I hate people who drive fast and drive like assholes."

Reading your quote of it is kinda funny...I dont care if people like assholes , I just hate it when they drive like assholes.

Fast = OK.

Asshole = not OK.

No, they NEVER do
Of course, the ones i'm thinking of (as in, if I were a cop, I'd pull them over) are the ones doing 45 in a 55, slowing down even further every time they see an oncoming car, crossing the center line and going off the shoulder... at 9 in the morning on a work day
