Still in the UK Early Nineties,riding a FXRS Sport, the usual Mods. Cam, Carb and Supertrapp Pipe(with 12 baffle plates!)plus skimmed heads and a change to final gearing.
I left work after a 13hr day and the enrichening circuit stuck open on the carb,
the bike was coughing and spluttering belching black smoke with a thirteen mile ride ahead of me on roads full of nose to tail traffic.
I made it eight miles before the chance to clear the pipes presented itself. At a set of lights the right turn lane was clear and I 'filtered' up to the white line just as the lights went green, I wound it up and charged straight through. Made it about 200yds when the blues and twos came on about five cars behind me. I found somewhere safe pulled over and waited.
The officer got out of the car and asked if I was aware that I had disrupted the flow of traffic with my manoeuvre? I replied I thought he had probably caused more disruption by making cars get out of his way to stop me. He didn't like me pointing this out, and stepped in real close, face to face,trying for psychological advantage, I stepped up onto the kerbside and looked down at him.Then he started on the loudness of the motorcycle I informed him I had just got it as is from the dealership. He said if I was to go through a village at 8000 rpm I would wake everyone up. I told him I would not be surprised as i would be doing approx 150mph.At this he asked my age I replied 34, his complete demeanor changed,
"So you're not a kid then?"
"Hardly"
"Off you go then and get that pipe sorted"
"yes sir"
No ticket. |

Statie...pulled me over late at night. Road was desolate..althought I was cruising at about 15-20 over. He was friendly and rode a bruprbrup himself. He asked if he could take a spin up the shoulder real quick. I said why the hell not... he sits on my XB9R, turns the key and goes "haven't ridden a 600 in a long time!" I replied, its a thousand. He got off, told me to just slow it down and said last time he rode a 1k it was too crazy and dipped out! |

i've got a friend who got out of a ticket b/c she said she had chrones disease (which is somewhat true, but she didnt really have to go) the cop told her to hurry up and go find a bathroom haha
This one reminded me of my buddy who use to work with me. He was hauling ass at Central Combat. We were doing some work there. He got pulled over and told the MP his girlfriend was going into labor. I still shake my head over that one... |

I play mandolin
I was rolling through a stop sign, steering with my knees about 0400 in a residential area sometime 1982-ish (things were more casual then).
Moto-cop who lived right there pulled me over and asked if I was really playing the "instrument" while driving. I told him that yes, I was. (wasn't illegal at the time - the rolling stop WAS illegal)
Got a laugh out of him when I said that the guitar wasn't practical since I had to roll the window down to clear the neck. |

I could write a book!OK.I worked an Octoberfest on eastern Long Island back in the day and was driving a hopped up '65 Mustang on the LIE at about 0200 and going about 85 mph.State trooper lights me up and I pull over and he takes my paperwork to his car then comes back and asks me to go to the rear of the vehicle."Have you been drinking?" and I say I had one beer when I got off work."Are you on drugs?"and I reply,"No Sir!"So he says ,"Why are you talking that way?"I say,"I am from Mississippi,Sir.I always talk this way."After a long pause he says get back in the car and gave me a ticket for 83 in a 55 and my friends in the car are laughing their asses off. |

I stopped a woman for speeding who politely informed she needed to get a facility to attend to a "female issue" (her words).
She was a bit of a looker, nicely dressed, so I figured she was one of those people accustomed to getting through life on looks. I told her I appreciated the delicate nature of her situation and would write the ticket as quickly as I could so she could get on her way.
I stayed behind her as she drove off with the ticket and saw she took none of the exits that would take her to a rest stop. I guess my intervention helped her more than I knew! |

So I got pulled over back in 2000ish on I88 headed west out towards the Quad Cities. The Cop is headed east culls a 180 pulls me and my friend over. So the guy comes to the passenger window sticks his head in. Now to set the scene I was a college kid and my friend and I were stoned to the Bejesus Belt. The cop has two huge gauze pads on his cheeks and talks like Bill Lumberg if you have seen Office space. So he say he pulled me over for a cracked windshield. Grrrr. He also states that he is looking for a drug shipment headed from Chicago. Next he looks down and say “Yeahhh if you could just hand the floor mat out the window that would be great.” I go what for. He says that there looks like a Marijuana seed. My friend looks at him and says NO Sir that looks like a Peruvian Wild Orchid seed but being that neither one of them are botanists its hard to tell. The cop looks at him and say “well then gents do you have any drugs in the car?” Of course we say no. So he goes “well then I have a dog in my car so would you like to try again.” Any way at this point I look at Tim he lifts open the center console hands him a glass jar and a chillum. It was really good stuff BTW which is why I was confident that there was no pot seeds on my floor mat. So the cop hands it back to us and says put it in the center console close it and I’m gonna bring the dog. We’ll call it a “training exercise” (Hands making “ ”) So he brings the dog over and low and behold he scratches the crap out of my back seat but never finds the stuff in the console. Which BTW surprises me to this day because those dogs are normally REALLY good. Well anyway the cop throws our weed and chillum in the cornfield. He then tells us we can be on our way. Unless there’s anything we need…….. So at this point I was so overjoyed I couldn’t help myself (plus he just disposed of the evidence against us.) I looked at him and said “Well officer there is one thing….” He looks at me like I’m out of my mind. I continue “ I was wondering if I could borrow your dog I seem to have misplaced my weed.” The dude smiles and says get the hell out of here.

Hey Kenm123t, I was just trying to keep up with you. You lead a good ride. Enjoyed the chat at scenic Port Mayaca. Maybe we can get together some time to exercise the Buells.

I used to have a 71 Corvette. At the time it was in black primer and all the chrome had been removed for painting. It was about 9PM and dark.
A buddy and I were going through this area where the limit was 35 and I was moving along not really watching my speed. I finally noticed the city cop behind me and pulled over.
"You have any idea how fast you were going", No.. I was just flowing with traffic. "I don't call driving 40+ in a 35 flowing with traffic, license please"
He goes back to his car and does his thing. Comes back, goes around to the front and looks. Then comes back to the window. "Where's your front license plate". It's at home. He takes on this look that I can't describe, gets a little flustered and hands my license back to me and says, "I don't feel right ticketing you since I can't ticket the truck that was moving along through traffic with you, so just slow it down a little".
He goes away and my buddy has this expression of disbelief that I just got off with speeding, no front plate and if he wanted he could have said I was driving recklessly, even though I really was just flowing with traffic. |

Got pulled over on Long Island near the beach riding in my friends highly modded Trans Am. We were just slowing down from a 180mph run and hard on the brakes when we suddenly found ourselves being pulled over. The cop clocked us at 80mph. When he handed my friend the ticket he said, "You should have the car checked out, it was blowing a whole bunch of smoke out of the tailpipes." Really wanted to reply, "Yeah, it does that when you come down hard on the brakes from 180." Believe it or not he beat the ticket with a speedometer repair receipt.

180 is a hard trick to pull in a street car, takes a long time to get there. The fastest I have ever done was 150 clocked on the Big O in the Milford Proving Grounds.
The best one I have was back in 2003, my friend was "negotiating" some BS traffic charge infront of a well placed Judgywudgy(now kicked off the bench and in the news)he plead guilty if given time to pay, gudgywudgy said OK just to get him out of her "court" and he wrote on the agreement that if he didn't make payment by the 15th of April, his business with the court would be complete. When April 15th came He hadn't paid and his business was finished.
The moral to the story is Understand what you are READING! |

Aforementioned Trans Am is a show winning '77 with 462 cubes of Stage IV and V goodies, 5spd. and dead gears. Didn't use the nitrous on that particular run.

Wolfridgerider got out of one on the way to Daytona last year also. He was leading me on I95 in South Carolina at 90+ when a new white Ford pickup began to follow us. I saw it in the mirrors, paid no attention. Mark and I were hitting it pretty good. Most of the traffic was running 85 or so.
We were moving smoothly along, changing lanes as needed, but not in a reckless manor. A while later I notice the truck still on my back side, but a bit closer. A mile or so later I glance in the mirrors and see blue sparkling lights near the top of the back edge of the hood. The ones like the teenagers run on their windshield squirter nozzles on those little Honda Civics and the likes.
I kept going, he was still there. Another mile or so later it dawned on me.....That is a cop! So I found a gap in traffic in the right lane and pull over in it. He comes close, pointing to me, and then to himself, then Mark, then the berm, then me. He was quite animated!
So off he goes after Mark. I stayed in the right lane because I knew sooner or later I would need to pull off when he caught Mark. A mile or so later he had Mark on the berm. I had pulled off the road onto the berm and he was putting his foot and hand up as if to say "if you don't stop I'm gonna tackle you!"
As I rode up, he had Mark's license and such, I stop, take my helmet off, and present my license. That is when I noticed the city police department logo on the door of the truck. It looked exactly like that of a lawn service only the lettering said police department.
When I handed over my license he was reading us the 'riot act' about how he was chasing us for five miles at over 90 miles per hour. Then told us a story about a guy on a bike that hit a deer at speed earlier that week.....bla.....bla.....bla. Then he noticed I have a CDL and he goes into a speech about not wanting to put a professional driver out of work. Then we discussed the date of my new CDL health card, fresh from the day before.
He stated that we were driving in a controlled manor and not disrupting the traffic flow, and going just a bit faster than the rest of the traffic. He decided to let me go because of my CDL and said it wouldn't be fair to ticket Mark based on that. He told us to slow it down and have a good trip.
Moral of this story, don't travel with Mark to Daytona unless you want to meet new friends along the road! |

alright so i was making my second or third run up Mt. Lemmon in Tucson, AZ, after getting settled in at UA. Im "testing" the bike (08' 1125r) and myself and getting a feel for the road. I'm moving at a good pace (about double the speed limit lol) and LOVING the 35 miles of mountain twisties and i had not seen ONE car the ENTIRE way up the mountain, so i figure, "what the hell ill just kick it up a notch" this is in the middle of the day around 2pm on a tuesday keep in mind and its about 85 degrees on the mountain...PERFECT... well i spot one of the few straight parts of the ENTIRE road and i figure "lets clean out the top end a little" i drop it into 3rd and and PIN IT i shift through the gears and got it up to about 135mph right as i pass the 35mph zone sign, i am caressing the a little hill on the straight, when i see it...a state trooper!! the ONLY car i saw the ENTIRE trip. So i CRAM on the brakes and KNOW that i had been had, so i pull over on this little pullover spot and think "CRAP, i promised my dad i wouldnt get ANY tickets or anything...i am SCREWED!!" the (nice) cop gets out of the SUV and asks the usual "you know how fast you were going", i say "no sir, and that im sorry for speeding". he say's " i got you for doing 65mph in a 35mph"...now i think "well at least he didnt get me for doing 100mph over, but for 30mph over i could go to jail for criminal speeding and what not" he asks me "you ever had a ticket before", i say "no sir, i try to be as respectable as possible and try to choose were i do my stupid things so that i can only hurt myself if something happens." he gives me a respectable look of "wow this kid isnt as stupid as the others" ( i feel better just by the look) and says that he'll give me a ticket for just 10 over instead of 30 over, and that all i need to do is take the driving school and my insurance wont know a thing about it (which is good because im only 19, and that would have SKY-ROCKETED my rates), he then says "you can try to fight it if you want to", i say "no sir, i know i was acting stupid, and deserved to pay for my consequences by taking the school". we then talk about the bike and how its the only (as far as i know) WHITE 2008 Buell 1125r in the state and that he has pulled over many bikes (and buells) but never seen a white buell, to which i smiled. Then we just talked about it some more and asked me what i though about it and exclaimed that i love to ride american bikes and represent my country...he agreed. Before he left, he said "There hasnt been any deaths on the mountain this year, and i want to keep it that way. Be careful and use your head" I rode conservatively the rest of the ride...and proceeded to invest in a radar detector...I have rode much more carefully up that mountain and in general ever since.
BTW- the ticket was for 135$, but the driving school was 215$...it still saved me ALOT in insurance...you have to pay to play...
I love this thread!!!

On second thought, it really wasn't a "best pulled over" story.
