opps i did it again. off topic. you can reply in the off topic thread if you like
I think you missed something there. I was driving my car with window rolled down, if I was riding a motorbike, there'd be no way I'd have my visor up. And even with the visor up, I doubt you could tell much about the person.

As for whether the cop was racist or not, who knows, though generally there is a bad vibe in the streets about who they favor most. And of course racism is never indigenous to one ethnicity. But his behavior just struck me odd comparison to my previous experiences when I was hitching a ride with friends who were also pulled over for speeding. I was doing 70 at the most, he wrote me up for 82 at 55 zone. And the funny thing is, all the other cars who were far beyond speeding, had to overtake me to get past me. So I was wondering, how the hell did he not notice them? And at the the time when he caught me, I was all alone in the road. Obviously, because all the cars sped ahead. So he followed me for a while, playing cat and mouse, and then he flashed the lights.

I will go to no more than 20mph over the speedlimit to make my point. I can't afford any ticket, let alone to lose my license, so I will stop at 20 over. I'm especially careful now b/c 2 years ago I was pulled over for having my face shield open, so I am kinda paranoid it will happen again.
I was only going 15 over at the most in a completely isolated backroad/highway, the cop claimed 82. This is how they pretty much make money for their department here.

Hey, what's the tale... share away? it's not like we rather be concentrating on making next generation no-balls Honda bikes,
