Default Came upon a road block

this past weekend on a two lane road. 4 state police cars, 2 county police cars. There was 2 state troopers in my lane when I stopped. The first one waved me on up to the next trooper. He asked to see my drivers license and while he was checking my license, all he could do was talk about my sportster, telling me how good it looked and how great it sounded. He even had me to rev it up a time or two. I was a little nervous at this point, but all he did was say "wow, that does sound good". He wanted to know where I got my Rinehart's and said that he might have to get those for his RoadKing. He also asked about my AC. I was there for a good 3 minutes, parked in the middle of the lane with 6 vehicles waiting in line. He did not seem to be in any hurry to let me go, but did give my license back and told me to be careful. I just wanted to share this and let you know that some Arkansas troopers are nice and do ride bikes.
