Ok wait you keep talking about these escorts. Do you mean like the truckers infront of you getting your back like in smokey and the bandit? im confused.

Escort/Passport Radar Detectors. The only company I have ever bought from.

Passport 4600 in the CR-V
Passport 5000 in the X
Passport 7500 swaps between motorcycles and work truck. I think I had probably bought just about every unit this company ever offered except for the Solo. Still want the 8500 though.

Got pulled over in the Ex doing 105 in a 70 in Paw Paw, Michigan... I was on my way back to school and just flying past the rest of traffic (it was cool, everyone in the passing lane was also getting out of my way), and I had not seen any cops for a long time so it seemed safe (in terms of not getting pulled over -- definitely not safe to go that fast). So I am cruising along, when I look in my rearview mirror and all I could see was a big suburban riding my ass.

First thought: "What the hell is this jerk doing riding my ass, I'm needled out!!!"

That's when I looked again and noticed the lightbar on the dash of the suburban.

I moved over to the right lane and then to the shoulder. Cop walked up and asked me if I knew how fast I was going. I said "Nope, but I know the needle was down here (pointing to the Overdrive symbol on the gear selector). He told me he had been following me for about 3 miles, going 105 to catch up to me. (This is why I still contest that I was not doing 105, because if I was, he never would have caught up to me). He was actually not a dick about it though... He just confiscated my license since I could not pay the ticket right then and it was an out of state license, then he told me "You're blowing by everybody on the road, man! Slow down, because there are about 4 of my buddies parked up the road".

I paid the ticket the next day (It was about $250) and my license was soon mailed back to me. Insurance never went up, but I got the points on my license. I considered going to court to fight it and try to get the speed dropped to 95 or so, but then decided I would just bend over and take it because the court house was 4 hours from my home.

That was 19 months ago now so all the points are off of my license.
 






not an X but faster

It was two years ago in the summer I was riding my Hybusa on I-70 in Maryland past the weigh station in Howard County doing I say close to 140 MPH if not more. When all of a sudden I see a Maryland state trooper in the emergency crossing. Let's just say when I saw him, I quickly turned off at the next exit and decided to take the back roads home. Since then I have sold that bike, thank god. That thing was costing me an arm and a leg for insurance and now I stick to Harley Davidson. Thats enough excitement for me.
 






a cop stopped me for going 58 in a residential zone, but right as he is getting ready to walk back to his car to put my info in his computer, i hear over his radio "officer down!" and he says "consider this your lucky day" and just let me go! :D

another crazy speeding ticket story happened to my friends father.....he got pulled over (i dont know how fast and in what zone) but he realized that the cop wrote down his birthdate wrong. when he went to court he said "if the cop cant read my liscence how do you know that he can read a radar gun?" then he got off of the ticket
 






160 on my Ninja

160 in my Ninja 750 and 155 in my 97 Cobra

No insane would be going over 200 MPH and knowing it. Fortunately, I have never had a speedo read that high.
 






Man... my worst ticket... musta been that one where, oh wait! I don't have any! :D My truck doesn't like going fast... Although cops occasionally will pull me over to look at the truck.
 






80 in a 55. cop pulled me over walked up. talked to him for a min and had him say he was sorry for pulling me over.

75 in 35 while passing a cop. Woman cop got out and asked if i know why she pulled me over I said ya. I passed you. she said yes. gave Her my ID she said she was sorry for pulling me over and told me when i see a cop slow down a little.

and a few others.

now right about now you guys are saying why the hell did the cop say sorry? no ticket? WTF?!?

well this is why.

My father is a retired Captin from the NY MTA(28 years). My truck is in his name for my plates. and if i get a ticket it goes on his truck. No cop (well most) caops ont give another cop a ticket. Once i got pulled over and the cop gave me a seat belt ticket for doing 94 in a 55 (moving with traffic) he also pulled over 3 other cars at one time. I have also passed a cop and he pulled next to me and waved =)

PS. BTW those are National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Plates. You must be a Cop or retired cop to get them. If i get a ticket it makes the Lodge look bad ;)
