why do some cops...

[horsepwr]

get all giddy when you pull over for them. Especially the shorter and fatter they are, the more grinny and giddy. It's like they wanna be your best friend or something, while at the same time fukin with your life.

me: "Can I see your radar?"

polesmoker: (all giggly like a 12yr old girl) "I couldn't get behind you fast enough to clock ya"

"I'm giving you a break though man" (here let me go write a ticket with your name on it now)..."appreciate the break fat boy"

fuk those diks. You didn't clock me. The 4 lane highway was empty. so there are no markers. There's no reason to pull me over and give me a ticket, when indeed, as he even damn well agreed, I very carefully checked the highway. Both directions, gave it a full panoramic scan for opsticles or obstructions before pulling onto the lane. Then ran out 1st & 2nd, just to clean the valves off, and sat up as I toggled up to 6th, and then proceeded safely within speed limit.

He even said, "Thanks for pulling over for me. You deserve a break for that" break...shht...Then he says, again all giggly, I can't stand a giggly bytch. But he says, "Hey, hehe, I coulda wrote ya for racing and took your bike." I said, "hehe, but there was no other vehicle on the road." ahhh, I FUKINJ SAWEAR wtf is going on!!!!??????????????

That was exactly the point. See, I had no idea he got behind me. He had to chirp the siren. I should grabbed a hand & foot of brake and let him slam my ass, but anyway. I just pulled over and off the highway onto a side rd to Lowes and I get off the bike, take my gear off, unzip my jacket. We're both standing there like we're just hanging out. Then he says, "well ya wanna know why I pulled ya?" I said "yeah, I was wondering." him: "well, ya went by me at about 70-80 easily,hehe...and I was sitting at Tuffys." which is maybe 100ft from the street I pulled off of. I actually want to measure tomorrow and see how far it is. See, check it out. This is the tyype of guy he is. If he hadn't seen me go from stop...if I would've been coming down the HWY at the same speed, same gear, his "trained for that exact situaiton eye" would've told his brain I was going 120mph..."easily". know what I mean? He just knew there was know way I could've hit that speed in that short of distance. He also didn;t even know that a careless ticket used to be $61. So he's one of these young dorks that think the bike goes 220mph...in the quarter.

I haven't even checked where the top of each gear is exactly on these later models. I remember getting around 65 out of 1st? Then 2nd about 103?

Anybody with a SS note the factory gearing with speedo? I swear I remember seeing 135 at the top of 3rd on my last one.

...and yeah, I guess I deserve it, but...I actually was extremely careful.

Re: why do some cops...

Some guys do get on a power trip but most are insulted that you came through their area and didn't even slow down. If you ever even think that you might have been clocked, PULL OVER IMMEDIATLY! Don't wait until he/she comes out of their hole and is tracking you down. Anyone who is one the job or knows someone who is, will tell you that there is nothing more that pisses a highway patrol, state trooper, local pd... then having to follow someone several miles to track them down.

why would I do that. I always pull over immediatley. And Troopers seem to have a different attitude than bicycle riding Beach Police. Yes, I don't know why this guy was wearing it, but he had the uniform on that the cops on bicycles wear. The other cop that pulled up for, whatever reason, was dressed like the cops that drive cruisers.

also, how am I gonna know where his area is. That's a decent size city to know every cops little nook and cranny. And if I knew "his area", I would've looked for him. And if you're talking about speed trap towns while traveling, I always respect their speed limits. Ya sometimes gotta really pay attention too, but I learned years ago to keep your eyes peeled for crazy speed limit variations while traveling through the Mayberries across America.

One more thing. The reason he thanked me for pulling over too, was because if I'd have seen him in his "hole". He wouldn't have seen me again. Yesterday at least.

I have no problem with Troopers though. The Escort Passport 8500 keeps me in touch with them. It reaches way out and almost plays a song while they instant on, instant on, instant on over and over til they finally pass. I get tired of hitting mute. So I know when I've been clocked when I'm not on my bike. I don't get speeding tickets in a car/truck, unless the cop straight lied like several months ago. Just beat him in court 2 weeks ago. Damn that felt nice. Crooked bastard. You know when someone's lieing. That's why judges are judges I guess. The funny part about that one is when the piece of shyt cop wrote 75 in a 55. I asked to see it on radar. He wouldn't let me. I said, "there's no way I was traveling 75, and I wasn't. I just passed him with out of state plates so he figured it'd be an easy ticket. He didn't realize i would have my ass in court. Had to go twice. Thank goodness I was working 30min from the city on the trial date. But I looked at my radar detector and pleaded with him to show me 75 on his radar. He said "I don't want ya near my cruiser. Now sign it or I'll take ya to jail." He never clocked shyt. He damn sure didn't pace me zero ft. He almost took my rear bumper off to jump behind me to pull me over when he saw that out of state plate. "I bet you don't pass cops like that where you're from" duhh... ah, yes sir I do. When they're driving that much under and I don't have to speed to pass. Why not. Never been a problem with any befire your ass though. I didn't say all that though. Anyway, his weak ass shyt held no water. Almost $300 that dik hands out unlawfully. mmm.mmm.mm the law.

Re: why do some cops...

I was on a year-in-a-half job in AL way back when, and I loved the hilly, curvy roads. That's when I got my first CBR, the '03, and I remember thinking holy shyt! This Honda is the most ridiculous thing ever!..true love it was... There were some nice twisty rides around there as well. And a nice straight country road in the middle of no where that was where I learned my stand-ups. Man...I remember just feeling like you're parachuting or something. Stand-ups are one of the best feelings I know. It's up there with surfing, or blasting off the wake of a boat,...it's really like surfing in that it's in a class of it's own. Spiritual type of rush. with a allot of adrenaline coursing through your veins.

actually, I don't know how much 20mph over is in the state I was in. But it's almost that much in FL.

Re: why do some cops...

Re: why do some cops...

Face it. 90% of cops were geeks in high school, and it's their way of getting even with society for making them cry most of their life. Now, they get a power trip being cops, and are probably worse criminals than the guys they arrest now. I know tons of cops who go out drinking, get loaded, then drive home. I know cops who are on juice, drugs, cheating on their wives, stealing, etc etc etc....
