Speed Trap?

Floyd hill, finally picking up speed around 470.

Well enough at least, to go from the right to middle lane

At least you had the S1000RR to go uphill.....

It's my pit bike.

It's my pit bike.

Good taste in pit bikes. Not as goofy looking as a Grom.

Have you seen the price of doughnuts lately?

The speeding ticket may be cheaper.

They didn’t practice good Covid restrictions... that donut MUST be thrown in the trash immediately!

I caught myself down right speeding in a residential today. In no uncertain terms, I reminded myself to skedadle*, as I aggressively applied the breaks.




*I didn't want to swear in this post, so I typed "synonyms for "get fucked"" into the poultry search engine. Skedadle was one of the options.

Yeah... I got my first speeding ticket since 1990 about 3 weeks ago. It was a doozie! 77 in a 55. There's a long, open stretch of highway with a 75mph limit between the Oklahoma/Texas state line (the Red River) and Vernon, TX. There's a short stretch in a very small community where the limit drops to 55mph. I had my cruise set on 78, GPS said I was going 79. The nice deputy who stopped me said he clocked me at 77. I just forgot about the speed limit change and didn't adjust the cruise control because I was preoccupied talking with my girlfriend. And I got a $279 reminder not to be so preoccupied that I foreot to reduce my speed in that area.

I deserved it. No question. Actually, I almost never slow down thru that stretch if I'm being honest. So I figure with only 1 ticket and speeding thru there dozens of times I'm way ahead of the game. But I guarantee you I slow down now. That shit's expensive and paying fines takes all the fun out of speeding.

ETA: Girlfriend got her first speeding ticket in almost 30 years as well the day before I got mine. She was driving thru Throckmorton, TX on her way to see me. Sped up a little too soon leaving town. Her ticket only cost $189. One more thing we have in common now.

Every time I hear Throckmorton, I think of the tosh.o episode with the guy who maintains one of the school football fields out there. In-laws used to live in Haskell

Can't help thinking that there has to be a message when you both get tickets.
