    Yea riding through Peachtree City a while back, I actually made a thread on it the day after it happened. It was a pretty warm day so I didn't have on my jacket, just a white t-shirt, but that was the only time.

    been lucky so far...had plenty of 'close calls' though.

    my big fear is that i'll get pulled with a passanger and still be on my permit...but it just makes me more careful knowing that, probably a good thing for now.

    Sounds child like and immature but, I just think if I get pulled over for high triple digits, I'll be ****ed for a long while. So i think I have a better chance of getting away, rather than trying to explain to a judge what was going on. So basically I just drop head, and throw the deuces.

    i've been pulled over twice. 1st time i got off of 75 didn't see a cop popped it up rode a little bit of a wheelie when i sat it down he was behind me wierd thing was he didn't flip on the lights till the front wheel hit the ground...he said there had been too many deaths on motorcycles he just wanted me to ride safe and not act up let me go......bout 2 months ago had people call and file a complaint about a guy that fitted my description got pulled over i argued with the cop then he said they gave my tag #. I still argued with him he just left and told me to quit riding like that. he new it was me but didn't/couldn't do anything cause he didn't see it.....thats it I was very lucky both times dont plan on acting dumb enough to get pulled over agian though.

    I got pulled over b4 twice well three times or is it four. none a good thing believe me. The first time I got pulled over I was speeding excessively like 4 times the speed limit. Lane surfing they call it and ran a toll in Orlando, Fl. 2nd time I was here on Piedmont went under a bridge and gave it a little throttle with the Scorpion exhaust the cop heard me speeding but couldnt prove it. The third and hopefully final time I got pulled over by state patrol on 20 warming up my tires he thought I was acting up. I told him what I was doing and he was going to let me go until he realized that I was riding on a permit on the highway (expired permit might I add) had no insurance and no registration on my bike. Bikes from Fl thats why no insurance and it was registered there so he impounded my bike until I got all that S**t it ended up costing me what 7 or 8 hundred dollars. Sucks man but believe me that was the last time I stopped for a cop. The've tried but no success

    I got a reckless driving ticket for dragging my knee thru a red light in snellville. I got a speeding ticket on Deals gap last year and recently got a ticket for lane splitting.

    I got pulled over. But it was OK...The cop who pulled me over was really nice, he could have given me a lot more tickets but he didn't...

    I rather stop than be chased by the police...I know I can probably get away, but why risk it. In the long run you end up in more trouble than if you would have just pulled over. Unless you have something to hide, I suggest to pull over.

    GSP pulled me over for doing 117mph on 575S. I did it for like ten seconds just to get that feeling since there were no car in my immediate surrounding. I never saw where he was, but the reason he caught me it was because I didn't realize he was behind me and when I slowed down to normal speed he got along side of me and forced me to pull over. I was charged with Speeding 117/70, wreckless driving, improper display of tag. I got arrested, spent 4hrs in jail til I bonded out, bond was set at $1,587.00. My court date is April 15th.
    Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the peoples I had to kill because they pissed me off,

    i bet people wouldn't run as much if the fines werent $2000.

    Or if there were places where you could legally go fast and such... at a drag stip you only get up to about 100-120mph, and thats only at the end when you have to brake. A track day session costs like $350 and only available in your area like once every 3-4 months? (there were only like 3 a year last time i looked for track days)

    In Europe, you can go on the Nurburgring for like what, 20 Euros?

    I DENOUNCE the fact that someone was in second going 197 (first off unless the rev limiter is removed no bike, except older busas, can go above 189)...and honestly NO bike speedo is correct. Also 2nd at 197....come on.


    and NO I dont do stupid **** when I know cops are in my immediate area...
