I was Headed into Durham last week to meet with a client to negotiate the price of a renovation. I decided that since it was Friday Noon and beautiful out, I took the Harley.
Earbuds in and tunes on, I donned my helmet. With 40 miles to go in an hour, i had lotsa of time.
I am sure i'm not alone in saying that I am addicted to speed. Alot of we snowsports enthusiast types, skiers and monostix alike, are adrenaline junkies. Its in our blood. Well it was definately in mine that day. I got to southsaunders street in about 22 minutes (30 miles +/-) traffic was picking up and i had a nice man from NY get right on my bumper in the fast lane at 84 mph. WEllllll that aint gonna work. A clutch pull and a toe tap and a flick of the wrist, and i Torqued it out and away. well that just encouraged the man. So here he was back on my fender. Now who is gonna loose if he hits me???
So I again drop the gear, but this time down to 4th. a quick signal and i was off. Agressive driving at its best, except >>>> a nice brown manilla ticket.
A warning ticket. I smilled huge. I shook his hand before he said a word. he was laughing and reminded me of the speed. and said "Slow it down."
THAT!!!! made my Friday!!!

nice one! I've been pulled over 9 times in 2.5 years I've had my car. only 1 ticket. My car is a little on the shady looking side so I get stopped all the time.

Sounds like a graduate of the Teledave How to talk to the cops School; probably went for the graduate degree program.
Very nice, Doug.

Learn from the best. Seen a guy talk the police out of some solo cups one time so we could keep drinking
