You got your first two wheel ticket.

I haven't had a ticket on the bike since 1978. Been lucky I guess.

I'm scared to answer that. I just know that if I start bragging, that I'll get a ticket today. KNOCK KNOCK.

When I first got out of the military I got several real close together. That helped me decide instead of fighting them to join them and I became a LEO. Since that time (1957) I haven't got any but honestly, being a former LEO has helped me out of a couple I would have got otherwise.

Got one in 1971 for not having a speedometer. I was not speeding either. Someone had stolen it off of my Ironhead [:@]

Almost got one for "sharing a lane" in 1979, but the motorcycle LEO let me off with a warning.
