Back when I was young and stupid ( a whopping 6 years ago ) I got the mother of all speeding tickets...
It was a Thursday night and my girlfriend and I were coming back from downtown Chicago on I90 West on a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6. It was a beautiful night and not a car in sight. I was going about 130 mph when I saw a police car on the exit in front of me. As I passed and looked in the rear view, I noticed he was now backing down the off ramp. When he finally caught up to me ( I probably could have lost him, but since I had a girl on the back I decided it probably was not a good idea ) and pulled me over the first words out of his mouth were "Are you dumb or just trying to kill yourself ?". 130mph in a 55mph zone. $750 to my lawyer and $250 fine, one week of traffic school, and no points on my license ( even I was impressed with my lawyer ! ).
That is why I no longer ride crotch rockets and now ride Harleys...
