Default TT-V goes to Pikes Peak

This was a lot fun in person, but not quite as exciting in the video, if you find it boring, sorry I figure some will enjoy it...

Was warned upon arriving by the ranger "this looks like a fast car and I see the camera behind the window, keep your speeds down, wouldn't want to have to ruin your day and impound your car, we've done it before". With that and the other traffic, the fact that it was about 35-30f out, a beautiful passenger in the car and no roll cage, I kept it moderate...

Was still great fun, have a lot of respect for the guys that truly push the limits of their machines here on the race day.

Well at some point we flew right by a state trooper going in the same direction, and long story short he pulled the bikes over. I thought for sure there would be a couple troopers up ahead waiting for me, but nope. Even drove back through an hour later, drove by a bunch of them too. Guess he either didnt see me or....I got away with traffic law murder.

LOL damn, I did that once at 150+in my eclipse, he came up behind me stopped at an exit with his lights on and I thought oh **** I am going to jail, then he pulled along side me and said "slow the **** down" and then drove off, I was scratching my head for awhile haha.



Thanks striker!
