Last July, I was I was out on my 748 Sunday morning at about 7:30 AM on the
highway interchanges near home featuring several on/off ramps and a couple of
straights which comprised my own little MotoGP course.
On one of the straights it's easy to exceed 100 mph, and by my 4th lap, it
got to be 8:00 AM, and there , to my dismay, was the Man with a hand held lazer
gun pointing at me just as I was hitting about 100. I have a Passport Radar
detector in my pocket with an ear piece from Radio Shack which picks up
everything but lazer which can't penetrate leather.
I pulled over and took my helmet off. "How old are you?!!" When I said 63,
he said "What are you on, a late life crisis?"
He said that he had me at 102 the first time, and couldn't believe it so he
did it again and it was 100. "So you must have seen me and slowed down", he
said.
So after a long conversation about ending up as road kill he said "You were
doing 102 in a 55. Why don't we say 80 in a 65 and I won';t arrest you? I
said OK, and in tiny characters above the 80/55 hed wrote 102/55 lest I have the
cheek to appeal it.
