Some time last year while ridding with a friend towards a nice local canyon with me on the 850 & he on a 1000 Ducati he just took off like crazy on a city road we typicaly ride pretty fast. This time he hit well over 100 mph & tried my best to catch up. I was confused when he took a sharp left into a residential area & snaked in & out a few streets before stopping at dead end, "why are we in here I asked" when he said " didn't you see the Cop light us up & come after us?? ".... I had just out run a cop at close to 100mph and succesfully hid in a quiet neighborhood all without even knowing it. I'm sure the cop went to the canyon road thinking we went that way. I would never have done that on purpose, I never would think my bike quick enough to get away with it. Besides, Around here they shoot first, ticket later.
 
And I thought my Maryland ticket for expired registration on my car was high at 290 dollars plus 25 bucks for processing . Cj
 
Well in PH the cops take your dough. Here, the suits take your dough.
No inspection (or expired) gimme 75 bucks and one point on the license.
Speeding tickets? 3 points and a hundred bucks x2 for the "surcharge".
Oh honestly, corruption a problem? ANYBODY can have the standard
"tell you what, you plead to a bald tire for 90 bucks and no points".
The average guy is overjoyed.
...so the shakedown game continues.

I did notice you pay 2k 'cause yer drunk and 12k for hauling ass
away from the pirates. Go figure.

Ah well I'm pretty much a speed limit guy so I dont have to deal with them.
