Well the clean slate is over after 55,000 miles, I finally got pulled over on the Speedmaster for the first time after 4 years. I did get off with an official signed warning though instead of a ticket. Mr LEO said(ALLEGEDLY) that there was only 2-3 car lengths between me and the oncoming car he was behind when I made my pass by that slow moving camper in the other lane down a 2 lane highway about 20 miles north of Flagstaff, Az. As soon as I begged to differ, he gave me "that look". You know the one...where if you push it any further, he's going to the hard ticket instead of just the warning.
Thing is though, I was fully aware of what was going on, and I KNOW there was a good 100-200 feet in front of me before I ducked back into my own lane. I mean, if what he said was true, I would have had to pull off the road and change my shorts if that car in front of him was only 20 feet away from ramming me head on. But what are you goin' to do when he's just writing you up for a warning? No sense arguing the point, but it still torqued my jaw a notch. I mean, I drive a bit more careful than usual when I'm 400 miles from home and I'm riding by myself. I just don't take chaces like that. Egghhhh, anyway, he was just a young state trooper so I guess he needs to be house trained. I'll leave that to Becky since he was in her juridsdiction.
