Hey Leithal,

Just today I got pulled over (Point B) doing 72 in a 45 mph zone (Point A). Officer, " Do you have any weapons. Me, "No Sir." leo, "Are you in a hurry"? Me, "No Sir. Was I speeding?" leo, "Yes, I clocked you back at the Auto parts store (right across the street form the Sheriff's office). Why where you speeding?" Me, "Officer, I was getting in some clean air is all." leo, " Well I ride too and i can understand the situation. May I see your driver's license please"

I hand him my license and he walks back to the car, turns around halfway there and ask if the bike is registered in my name. Yes Sir, would you like the registration? Leo,"No it will come up when I run your license"

After he gets back to his SUV, I holler back at him, " May I get a hat out of my saddle bag?" Okay he says.

Dangit. Just how many points is 27mph over the speed limit? Lynn is going to kill me.

Well the officer exits his SUV rather quickly as I'm thinking there is no way he already wrote me up that quickly. As he approaches me he says Mr. Dressler. Yes Sir? He says I should try to keep the speed down and hands me back my license.

Whew..

So Leithal, a big thankyou to you for your excuse, that I used, today!
