    something like that

    Though the cop had pretty piss-poor observational skills.....able to lock the radar yet unable to do more than an ID of a black bike with something red on it
    Probably more like he was having a snooze on the side of the road and woke up just in time to hit the button when the bike went by

    Yes, and No. Human eye beats reaction time every time, the cop made a right decision.



    Looked up my bikes manual, says it can't do that speed so wasn't me either.

    Anyhoo don't forget to add to calendar 19th May, 27th July, and 31 August.

    My experience tells me that is a 50/50 call ... I've managed to get away about half the time I've decided to open the throttle instead of stopping .. you will not beat the radios - unless you disappear real quick.
