Ok, here's my speeding story...

Once upon a LONG time ago, when I was decidedly young and dumber...

It was St Patty's day, and I had already had a few Guinness under my belt. I was still living out in the country at the time. About 10pm, I got a booty call from a girl in town, and figured I should be good as long as I stuck to the frontage road and watched my speed. When I picked her up, she was pretty well 3 sheets to the wind, and smelled like she'd been trying to absorb the rest of the bottle of Jack topically. (Yes, the glory days of my youth...) We decided to run by Wal-mart before heading back to my place. We make it as far as the parking lot to Wally World, when the lights turn on behind me and the whole world comes crashing to a halt. I wasn't shitfaced, but definitely shouldn't have been driving, and the girl wasn't helping the overall image either. Cop was relatively polite, and asked me if I knew how fast I was going. I thought I was doing 5-10 over, but he claimed I was doing 70 in a 35. I handed over the license and paperwork, and started already mentally preparing to spend the night in jail.

Then a few seconds later, he literally tosses all of my paperwork back through the window, says "it's your lucky day", and takes off SPRINTING toward his car. Throws the siren on, burns rubber to make a u-turn, and takes off. I don't have the slightest idea what the call was, but he had us dead to rights before then. Even as dumb as I was back then, I still took note of the fact that second chances like that don't come around but once in a lifetime. Never drove under the influence again, and I've made peace with maintaining a speed <10mph of the limit no matter how much of a hurry I'm in.

Best one I've had: (no ticket though)

Eastbound 70th ave @ York. Red Light.
Wanted to get out in front of the traffic when green. (merge to one lane)
1979 Kawasaki KZ750 twin
Green, Nailed it, crap, State Patrol westbound.
Shutdown, normal speed.
See him turn around in the mirrors and hit the lights.
I pull over before he gets up to me, shutdown the bike, take off helmet.
He asks for papers, license.
"HOLY SHIT, A LEARNERS PERMIT!?!, JESUS..." heads back to his car. I'm thinking, "JAIL", impound bike.
Comes back to me shortly after that. "TAKE IT HOME, GO STRAIGHT HOME NOW, IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY!" YES SIR!

He leaves in a hurry westbound, I leave and head straight home. I didn't ride again after that. Sold the bike, never got my M endorsement.

Limon Colorado:

Pulled off I-70 to fuel up the 1967 Buick Lesabre Mafia Staff Car, returning to highway, I punch it. I'm lit up before I get to the other side of I70 to get on the merge ramp.
Officer says "That things pretty fast." Explains to me how fast, like 45 in a 30. Asks if I want to see the gun? (I'm thinking pistol?? Really?) then I realize it's the Radar gun he wants to show me.



Best I've got of being "caught".

The one time I thought they had me dead to rights, I was on my bike headed to Pueblo. Just out of town I had a newer mustang pull up next to me wanting to race. He slowed down next to me and was egging me on. I ignored him, he got in front of me and hit his brakes. I went around him, and back into the right lane. The second time he got in front of me and hit his brakes, I just wanted to get away from him. I got in the passing lane and gunned it. When I passed the trooper coming south, I looked down and saw 195. I slowed down and pulled off on the beginning of the exit ramp where he could see me. The mustang blows past me one the highway, I get off the bike, take off my helmet and wait. Next thing I know, the state trooper passes me and waves. About three miles up the road, I pass the mustang pulled over by the trooper.
About two months after that, I got rid of the 'Busa. The short circuit between my brain and right wrist is just too uncontrollable. I have had a couple bikes since, but nothing that would do over 100.

I was out with my club outside of Vegas and we were all rolling on. I was doing an indicated 185 when a buddy on a turbo 'busa blew by me like I was standing still. He said that his gps showed him at 225 and that he could feel the rear wheel spinning because it couldn't get traction.
