eric99z:Hey I just wanted to tell all the beauty of riding a cruiser with 8 other sport bikes, 9 of us went up to duluth yesterday took back roads of coarse, in atkin county on 169 about 10 miles north of mille lacs lake and going up and down over the hills came a county sheriff. Before I tell you the speeds, I just want to say I alyways ride in the back ,1 I dont want to hold up anybody and 2 this is the exact situation ive thought about in the back of my head. As the group crests the hill comes 2 vehicles, The first a pickup second a impala county sheriff at this point I was only going 65 I know that for sure, The second I saw him I slowed down to 60 and held there even though the speed limit is 55. He turned around in a hurry, lets put it this way I saw break lights than alot of dirt dust whaterever else that was on the shoulder at this point the rest of the group has maybe 1/4 mile lead on me. He got up behind me and flipped on the lights so I slowed down and pulled over, ZOOM he goes flying bye and gets up to the rest of the group and they all pull over and I just keep on going. a long story short one guy gets arrested and his busa gets thrown on a flatbed, And the 8 of them , each of them gets a ticket for 380 for going 91 on a 55 but I know for a fact the 3 or 4 guys that were a head of me were no going more than 75 for sure, My good buddy was one of the one in front row he said he was 74, So there all going to fight it but anyways that is another reason im glad i never got a sport bike.
Good for you man. You know, the cops have been out in force this year. I saw a State Trooper bike cop had a car pulled over in Brooklyn Park. The cop was on a Harley, looked like a Street Glide. In 15 years I've lived in MN, I've never seen a bike cop here. Then the next day, I was turning out of my parking lot onto Lexington and there goes two St Paul cops on bikes. Looked like CHIPS. Gotta be careful out there boys. Your money is better off in your pocket and not theirs.
