I wouldn't feel bad for her at all. There are too many cagers that don't realize that a dent in their fender may not ruin their day but may take the life of a biker. Good ending to that story

I have a very low tolerance for SHEER TOOPIDITY.
Be it a hosebag soccer mom in a minivan not paying attention, 2 1%ers in a 'shoot out' in public, or a LEO 'playing' badazz. And PESHALLY, when it is ME, being TOOPID !!!! (Lord knows I am WAY capable !!!!!!!)

Good you kept your 'cool'(not sure I'd have been so "nice" to her in those circumstances), and GREAT that he was there, to witness HER moment, of SHEER TOOPIDITY !!!

"My Guess" is, this will have as much impact on her, as the "no cell phone" law, does on teenagers, that would be "0", or maybe, a -, as she is now probably PIZZT at YOU, or the LEO, instead of WHO really caused 'her' troubles, HER !!! BUT, jus' "My Guess".

Bottom line, GREAT you are unscathed, for a "RUFFIAN", that is and FREE to ride, again !!!

Great the way that turned out! Have had pretty good luck w/ cops lately myself.
Well, except the one that was hiding behind the bush at the 4 way. I did a rolling
stop so's everybody else could go. Damn near came to a complete stop. Geez!
Youd'a thought I robbed a bank or somethin'. Australian cat. Whatta jerk!
1st ticket in 20 yrs.

The probability of a cop seeing this and doing what he did is probably about the same as winning the lotto.

I had a cop do the same thing this last summer a teenage girl cut me off and I had to go to the side of the road to adviod being hit by her . There was cop a couple of cars back he saw the whole thing he pulled up a long side of me and said I will handle this.
He pulled her over, I waved to him and gave her the stink eye as I rode past them. Hopefully she will learn and yes she was on her cell phone so maybe she got two ticketts.

Snip, snip...I hate that she probably got a ticket, but maybe next time she will look twice.
Why do you hate it? She's been educated by the LEO, and as we all know, education cost money. Maybe she'll learn something (maybe not), and that cop made the roads a little safer for all of us.

she probably went home and bitched and bitched and bitched about the "loud biker" and "dick cop" that gave her a ticket for "nothing."

people are becoming more and more oblivious, it's ridiculous.

nice to see this happen and happy justice was served for you, but the truth is like someone else said a few posts ago...you're about as likely to win the lotto as you are to have this happen.

props to you for being joe cool and major props to the cop for being johnny on the spot.
