I got pulled over in on i75 in Ashburn, GA doing 87 in a 70. If I had of been doing 70, I would have been killed by traffic. The ticket is ?+ 200 for some b.s. "super-speeder" law.
I hate ga! Theres no way they that state should be allowed to give shady mystery tickets like that. Go -10 mph on GA or get a shadow ticket.
I've been pulled over many, many years ago & no tickets, just a warning. My buddies, who
like to talk $hit, weren't so lucky. My last time in 1990, the CHP just wanted to check out my Pro Street bike. What a minute, I forgot Sturgis 1990, the 50th. I was pulled over for not having eye protection. My sunglasses were on my forehead, this was around dusk. I had a choice, pay the $20.00 fine, on the spot, or go to jail. I couldn't get that $20 out of my pocket fast enough.
Got pulled over once about six months ago for making a left turn on red. I told him that my 09 Sportster did not have enough metal mass to trigger the left turn arrow[/I]

Giving a choice of a fine or jail is extortion. Collecting fines on the roadside is corruption. Sturgis cops sound like the cops in Mexico.
We stopped a chick on a Dyna last night. She was drunk and drove right through a traffic homicide scene. She drove past all of the police cars and fire trucks then on the sidewalk and almost hit the dead pedestrian in the road. She went to jail for DUI and drug charges.
Personally, I stop more crotch rockets than cruisers. They seem to do much more dumb stuff than Harley riders.
Got pulled over a few weeks ago on a test ride at the dealer for speeding ..... Luckily the officer was a rider and just laughed at the whole situation and let me go.
I was pulled over by a reserve county deputy during an airport to funeral home escort for a KIA soldier several years ago. We were being led by state police escorts and were doing 70 on an interstate in a 55 mph zone. I'm assuming the county guy got on the interstate between me and the two state police cars who were a ways behind me holding back traffic. The county guy must have been deaf, dumb and blind because there were even news helicopters following the procession. I never had a discussion with him because one of the state officers pulled up next to him and then pulled up to me and told me to catch up. Ran about 85 to catch back up with two state guys watching my tail. I could get used to that... I was told that I was on the news. One of the helicopters caught the county guy pulling me over and played it as a side story. That sheriff's department said it was a miscommunication...right.

Had them in the deep south and out in shitstain Kansas take my driver licence and had to follow them into town and pay cash up to who ever the local judge was and the fine always worked out to just short of what cash you had on you and they did pat your *** down first .
