When i lived in Vegas i rode with SinCitySportbikes. They had a trip planned to head to Death Valley from Vegas and spend the day riding the 90+ mph sweepers through the Valley. In winter it is actually tolerable for temperatures there. Well, I got a late start that morning and missed the main group, as did one other guy. So we took off to try to catch up with them. Headed out of Vegas towards Pahrump and hung a left on some no name road heading to Death Valley. We werent racing or anything, just trying to catch up. And in NV all the roads outside of town are nothing but straight lines for literally miles. I could see where this road curved about 15 miles from where we were. And the speed just started climbing.

So here I am, tucked down relaxing and cruising. Not really paying attention to how fast I am going. I see in the distance a car coming towards us. I am keeping an eye on it. Thinking I am good since I don't see a light bar. About the time the antennas on the trunk become visible the grill lights up like a Christmas tree. Damn, cop. I roll off the throttle, sit up and turn into a sail and look down at the speedo. 165 at that point. Considering I had already come off the throttle, became an air brake the fact I was seeing 165 meant I was traveling over 170 mph when the lights started flashing. The other guy and I were pulled over, our leathers off, licence and registration out and waiting for about a minute or two before the cop got turned around and parked behind us.

I was not about to run from the cops. I don't like Chris Rock, but he does have it right about that. If you run from the Cops they are bringing an ass whooping with them.

End result the cop wrote us for 110 in a 70. I got it lawyer-ed down to 180 bucks and a parking ticket.
