Don't you need a camera for that? And hey, stop drooling over my avatar! It's starting to weird me out. [laugh] If only I knew a photographer? Hmmmm. ???

I bet the cop also appreciated that you stopped, turned your bike off, and were taking your helmet off.  All that shows a mature rider as well as someone who is starting off non-confrontational

Thats me  ;D

I had hoped that I handled the situation correctly and looks as though I did... I can only hope that any future run ins with members of law enforcement will go as well  [thumbsup]

I actually got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding while I was on the way down to College Station to sell Jesus the 996.  I pulled over, got off, and took off my helmet. 

He had clocked me for speeding, but didn't tell me how fast I was going (hum...).  So I started to tell him that my clutch was stuck in 4th gear and that if I had gone anything slower than 75 (it was a 60 zone) that the bike would have stalled out right there in the middle of the highway.

He said he didn't understand.

So I explained to him how if you go a slower speed than the minimum speed the gear was intended for, the motor has a hard time catching up to the gear speed that is selected, and instead of continually trying to catch up, it just shuts down the motor and stalls out.

He took a look at me, looked at my gear (full leather suit, boots, gloves, helmet, and earplugs) and decided that I was telling the truth, so he let me off with a warning.  Then he started asking me questions about the suit.

What a guy.

Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy.

Is it possible to filter pics from his own hard drive? (not that there's anything wrong with that)  ;)

You're a lucky man Kevin. I'm on "probation" in 3 different cities due to my conspicuous travel habits.

Starting the conversation by questioning their revenue generation agenda while real crime goes unsolved is a bad idea…

Yes very high on the humor scale but pretty bad in all other aspects. Thanks and good luck with that probation stuff.
