Ian has a great point. I got pulled over last week for riding rather quickly in a 45 zone. I never saw the cop & asked him where he came from. When he told me where he was hiding, I told him straight up that it was the best speed trap I've ever seen. In this particular incident, you CAN NOT see the cop until you are past him rounding the turn & then you could only see him in the rear view. He took my documents & went back to the cruiser. When he came back, he asked if I was hot wearing all my gear, which was full leathers. I told him it was quite hot indeed unless I'm moving so I need to go fast to have working air conditioning. He laughed when I said that & then I told him wearing full leather is hot but I'd rather sweat than lay in a hospital bed with skin grafts. He told me that single sentence is why he was letting me off with a warning. The fact a PA cop let off a NJ rider on a sportbike is freaking amazing.

KC-10 FE out...
