I got a grin out of:
"Driving contrary to a minor defect notice" and
"Failure to dip headlights"

Looks like somebody in your legislature has some sense! I especially like the "handheld phone" penalty.

I find myself running 15 to 20 over the limit all the time before i know it and know its only a matter of time before i get caught. How do you guys that like to run hard keep from getting multiple speeding tickets. I have seen some radar detecters and something that makes your bike invisable to radar detecters. Are these any good and which ones are better. Or anything that will work. Sometimes i keep a car in front of me just to pace myself because when i'm up front i like to twist the throttle.

There is nothing on the market that will make your mc or car invisible to todays current radar. It will only costly you dearly in the long run by giving you a false sense of security. If they hit your with laser you are totally screwed.
I have learned the motor sound and can have fun all the way up to the speed limit or a little above. Our motorcycle LEO's are nice to riders unless you are doing something crazy.
Some states have laws against radar detectors.
Slow down, be reasonable you won't have any problems.
