Default Police Chase
So I was riding to work today and saw a cop pull out on the street in front of me. I roll up next to him at the light and say good morning, he's on a Harley. We putt off and stop at the next light and he says, "where are you going"? I told him, and he says, "try to keep up with me!". So he nails it. 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.

It would have been my luck he would have given me a ticket, but a cool story anyways. Had to be a very cool cop.
