06 SG, 10K miles. She was ready for it. I've noticed on the boards the low low mile bikes can't take it too soon.

In Minnesota, the PGR escort returning Iraqi soldiers from FT McCoy, Wisconsin. We pick them up at the Wisconsin border as they travel by bus to their home towns. We have LEO support and escorts. The soldiers are in a hurry to get home. I need not say more....except it's amazing how fast those big buses will go.....

I'm keeping pace up with him on the main drag to the freeway. Then we enter the onramp and onto the freeway like normal. He's up to about 80, then 90, then 100 in the carpool ACDC screaming out of my faring and then I stopped looking at my speedo. Its really early and there are very few cars out. I did check top speed at about 110. 5K on the tack with my 5 speed. We rode together for about 15 miles.

I'm a newer rider and have the feeling this doesn't happen very often. Pretty cool cop though. Since I bought my bike I've been in a different world.
Man that sounds like my nephew who's a MC cop in your patch. Tell me this didn't happen in Orange County Fullerton? If so it had to be him!
