[Ducati] My "run in with the law" story

I'm sure this has happened to a few other guys, but about a month ago I was on my way to a family gathering in town. I was almost there and doing a modest 80 on a two lane 55 road. So I get to the house, I am off my bike and walking up to the house. My 7 year old nephew comes out wanting to see me. Just then a CHP drives up. 
   
  Says he didn't light me up because he's had people run from him before. He see's the US Navy clearance sticker on the fairing and asks what branch i'm in (never mind that the badge expired 3 years ago). I tell him I am not in but my dad had the bike before me and retired after 26 years. He says "oh. Well slow down. There are some crazies out on this road."
   
  Then as he is getting back into his car he slips this in,
   
  "by the way, nice bike."
   
  No ticket, only a pregnant wife pretty irritated that I was going that fast.

One of the best is : When ridding the Ozarks 8-9 of us entered Eureka Springs and Uncle Bob had a problem with his chain.
While we are adjusting,oiling,fiddleing with it a guy in full leathers on a gsxr stops buy and ask's " yall wana see some good roads?"
Well of corse we said " sure... take us where theres no cops". He reaches into his tankbag and pulls a badge, and say's
"I am the cops! lets ride!". Man that was so cool, that guy took us BLASTING down some great roads that day.
And NO tickets were written. I'll never forget that!
