Default MC Cop Cut Me Some Slack
Yesterday was a beautiful afternoon on the freeway. There were very few cars for a stretch so I opened her up to a little over 80 to hear/feel my new cams. In a 65. And then there was a MC cop well hidden behind a bridge pillar. With his radar gun pointed right at me. All he did was raise his helmet in a nod as a rode by. I really appreciated it.

Nice! seems like you passed by a cool cop. There are not that many MC cops around me and I have never done anything dumb in front of one yet. I have seen a few and just waved and they waved back.

Very cool, especially in today's environment of generating revenue through easy tickets.

(Or maybe what you didn't know is there was a photo radar unit sitting close by, so he didn't have to write you the ticket... Just kidding!)

We actually have a couple around here that claim to have never given a ticket to a motorcycle rider. They may pull them over to 'talk' and/or check things out, but if everything is in order (no warrants), you're good to go.

$$$ was my first thought when I saw him. 15 over would be around $300 that I don't have.
