A Cop when you need one!
Who says there's never a cop around when you need one? Today, I'm on my way home on I-10 in the center of three lanes, and traffic is moving along about 70mph. Everybody slows a bit to 65mph (the speed limit), and I notice a silver Crown Vic ahead in the right lane. Technically, it's an unmarked State Police car, but you'd have to be blind not to identify it with all the antennas and spotlights on it. So now everyone is just cruising along at the speed limit, and no one wants to be the first one to pass the trooper, so traffic is bunching up a bit. I look back in my left mirror, and here comes a squid at about 90mph. The dude is down in the full tuck position with his full-face helmet, t-shirt, shorts and tennis shoes. He comes flying past me in the left lane and encounters the bunched up traffic, but instead of sitting up and slowing down, he cuts a hard right across all 3 lanes and starts playing the moving slalom course. Now who do you think was the first car he cut off? Yep, that's right, the trooper. He changes lanes about 3 feet off his front bumper and just keeps right on going, weaving in and out of cars for another 1/4 mile until he reached his exit. By now, the trooper is surely pi$$ed, because he has his car spooled up and is in hot pursuit. 
I'm sure this story ended sadly for the kid, but hey, he did make up about 5 spots at the traffic light before he got busted. It was just the laugh I needed after a long day, and I laughed all the way home. Hell, I'm still laughing.

I see people doing squirrely stuff all the time on I-10 and other freeways around Phoenix... Never have seen a cop nab any of 'em. Maybe that young rocket rider will live long enough to figure out that it's more fun on a big twin where he can sit up straight, relax and enjoy himself.

I love it.
I was sitting at a light with a unmarked sitting to my right. Two organ donors ran the light in the process of turning left and both pulled wheelies once they straightened out. The LEO didn't even flinch. He didn't do anything until the light turned green. I waited a second to see what was going to happen.
I don't know what he had under the hood but he lit up both of the rear tires. I lost the rear of the car in white smoke. Me and the cars had to sit through another light because we couldn't see.
About a mile down I passed them. He had them both cuffed and laying on the hood. Still had their full helmets on. The LEO was on the radio. I honked my horn and he waived back. I could see him laughing his a** off.

RE: A Cop when you need one!
Ha ha ha. I think these stories are especially funny cause I was that idiot squid weaving in and out of traffic and passing 7 cars at a time just a few short years ago. I'm glad I smartened up while I still could. These kids are lucky that all they got was busted by the cops and not worse.

RE: A Cop when you need one!
I was that kid too 25-30 years ago. I had that same conversation that he was having today on more than one occasion. Might be why I find it so amusing.
