"We used to screw the the NYS police who would hide out with theor speed traps on I-81. We as a group would buzz them at 170+ mph. When they would chase us, we would split up and circle back on them. Eventually they stopped setting up their speed traps in that section because they knew we would have them chasing vapor trails."
You don't say how old you were when you pulled this stunt, but such action is simply arrogant and stupid.
I've been riding bikes off-and-on since 1969 and have rec'd one speeding ticket (70 on a 55 highway) when I was in high school.
Idiots think their bikes are jet fighters and try to "fly" them as fast as they can go, without regard for anyone or anything else.
Most traffic laws are intended to protect the public from ignorant people. No law can protect the public from idiots.
For any Christians amongst this blog, we need to recall this: "13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king." (1 Peter 2:13 - 17)
I've never seen the results of dumping a bike at 170, but I imagine that it leaves a really loooong smear.
My age at the time was an invincible 26 years in the summer of 1988. It was just too easy and very entertaining. 3 lanes of open expressway and the police would sit in the median at 7:30 pm, just north of the Syracuse Airport. A group of bikes approximately equal in speed, and ability. Kawi Ninja, Suzy GSXR1100, Honda Hurricane.
but such action is simply arrogant and stupid... in your opinion. Good for you that you have only had one speeding ticket in 1969. This is relevant how?
Most traffic laws are intended to protect the public from ignorant people generate revenue. No law can protect the public from idiots. nor are they intended to.
For you I have a single word.....KILLJOY
