I did get stopped last year though on the CBR. cop looked a the gray beard and probably thought I was senile and forgot where the speedo was. He let me go with a warning.

I was over 40 when I got my last two potentially "big tickets"...both times in the Vette though.

105 in a 55. I slowed down and pulled over and then had to declare my concealed weapon. I had taken my radar detector out of the car because it was going to the shop the very next day to get the supercharger installed and dyno tuned.

He was actually cool and although he did give me a ticket...he lowered it to 70 in a 55 and I was able to get a pjc...it never hit my insurance.

The other time I was cruising down the road and some young guy in an SS Camaro with NOS came up beside me and kept trying to get me to race and I wouldn't...well he made some comment about Vette drivers scared to drive their car so I got weak and we hammered it and happened to pass a cop that was writing someone else a ticket on a side road ...well he gave chase and I pulled over but the Camaro ran and they never found him.

I'm actually glad because he said if they had found him we would both get tickets for racing.

He wrote me for careless and wreckless so I had to hire a lawyer. He got it put off for a year and then reduced to "Exceeding Safe Speed"...which was only 1 point and my insurance never went up for that either.

Oh yeah...I was ahead of the Camaro.

Just to be clear...it was a 4 lane road both times with NO other cars/bikes around...well except for the officer and the car he initially pulled over on a side road.
