My friend was riding his cbr 600 and a cop clocked him at 150. The dumass stoped, but the cop let him off of the speeding ticket becuase he stopped. He did get a ticket for no inspection sticker.

Yea I heard that one to, but it was set in Cali and the guy was driving a black Lambo.

Just to get technical, bike speedo's commonly read about 7% high.

158 is still fast.

Same thing happened up here in New Hampshire. Cops were trying to catch a black car that was running by them up I95 at 180+. Same deal night vision goggles, lots of drugs, black car with no lights.

They caught him one night with about 15 cop cars or more all set up. The bust was in the local paper and everything, they caught him and he got screwed!

Cool just thinking about it though..

Thats an old wives tail, here in texas we have the same story, but it was a doctor in a porsche 911 turbo, no lights with an infrared system, going back and forth between Little Rock and Dallas, i heard it from a trucker, and i told it to some guy and he called me on it. i was like

and it also was said to be in a local paper, and with lots of cops, it is told the 1st night it was 1 cop
a couple nights later 2 cops
a week later alot more cops
and then an organized assualt on this guy with a police helicopter and all.

My friend was clocked doing 110, my friend knew he was caught se he pulled right over, the cop just had to pull up about 50 feet, and didn't even have to turn on his lights. The cop asked him why he pulled over so fast, and my friend replied, "im being nice today"

but he got off
