WAIT!! Just you wait before you go jumping my gun! =) I was not speeding!!!
So, yesterday, I was itching to ride my bike. I do not have the license plates on it just because I am waiting for the previous owner to pay off his loan and get me the final paper work to transfer everything over into my name. I just got the back tire replaced and wanted to give it a test ride, so I was taking the back roads for about an hour going 30-40Mph trying to break the tire in and get that wax coat off it. So at around 6:30, I figured it should be enough to jump on the highway. Well I live 2-3 miles away from work, but I have to get on the highway to do so. So I figured I would go ride from my house to work for a practice run.
Well, there is this hill and cops like to hide behind it. I passed by him and he didn't pull out, so I thought he didn't see my plate. I was releaved. So I pull into my work parking lot and turn around and I'm now at a stop light to cross the highway or get back on it. I can see the hill where I am at just fine and were that cop was at. He was no longer there, at the time I thought he just left and moved on. (not what I think anymore) So I was like, I'll just ride up the highway a few more times if he isn't there. So I ride up it, go to my home and turn back around to go to work one more time. This time I wasn't so lucky .... He was back in that spot. Maybe when I passed by the first time he tried to follow me but lost me when I turned into the parking lot (I don't see how he wouldn't be able to get me, I wasn't going fast at all). So when I passed him this time he pulled out, got behind me, and turned on his lights. I see this cop pull over countless number of guys so I know right where he wants me to pull over at. Between the lanes that go strait and the turning lane, there is a big open area that cars do not drive on that I pulled over in. I get off my bike after turning it all off, take my helmet, and look over at him. He didn't get out so I walked over and he rolled down his window asking for my license and registration. I told him I just bought the bike on Sunday and pulled out my bill of sale. I was saying I can't get the title changed into my name till the previous guy gives me the final paper work and how I was itching to ride it. He said Ok and told me to go back to my bike.
So shortly after, he comes out, and I walk towards him. He starts asking me why I do no have the motorcycle license yet, I said I have been really busy but I do have the MSF paper work that says I do not have to take the driving test at the DOT if that helps any. And that is when he said I'm going to right you up for a fine (He said the term but I can't remember it) for $160 dollars. Well, I got pulled over at the traffic light that is RIGHT INFRONT of my work, luckily enough, I was wearing my work jacket too. I was like, look, I was just practicing riding from home to work, I work right there *points* and then I point to my jacket, I live right up that street *points again* I wasn't trying to do anything bad sir, I just wanted to get a feel for my bike that I was itching to ride. I wasn't trying to do anything bad, I just wanted to see how it was to ride to work on it. He kind of looked at me for a few seconds and said I'm going to let you go but I want you to go strait home and park that thing until you get all your paper work and licenses in place. I said Thank you very much sir I will do that. Then he said I am saving you in about $400 dollars here. I said I understand, thank you sir. And I put on my helmet and drove home and parked it in my garage.
I thought for sure the guy was going to write me up, he really looked like he was having a bad day. I think what won it for me was that he pulled me over right infront of my work and I had my work jacket on.
I am done driving till I get my license =(
Also, I'd be surprised if anyone read anything this long, I don't even want to proof read it lol.
