first ride of the season, and i get pulled over

[cuznjohn]

first ride of the season, and i get pulled over by a trooper.cruising along listening to BLACK HORSE AND A CHERRY TREE by KY LANG doing about 80 on the MEADOW BROOK PARKWAY when all of a sudden there is a trooper on my left side, no lights or siren but he was waving at me to pull over. i slowed down and he lowered his passenger window and yelled, DO YOU MIND PULLING OVER, i gave him a thumbs up and pulled over on the grass.
he gets out of his car and walks over to me. he started asking about the bike and said he rides but his wife has been seeing the commercials on tv for the new CAN AM F3 and she really likes it. so we talked a lil than he started to leave after he said he loved my bike, and when he got to his car he said, BY THE WAY, SLOW IT DOWN A LITTLE. i laughed and said thanks and we went our separate ways. was a great day for a ride

the trooper was a great guy, i figured i wasn't in trouble when he didn't light me up. i found that most cops that ride cut us a brake most of the time.

Drove from CO thru KS and on to Missouri last fall (wearing our helmets as usual). Got checked into the motel in Cuba, MO and walked to dinner, then the wife suggested that ice cream sounded good. I jumped on her SM5 and made a short run to Sonic for a cone, and was pulling back into the motel parking lot when I got "Lit Up". There I was balancing an ice cream cone in the throttle hand and trying to back into a space, (with the quirky reverse button), and when I was parked was informed that Missouri had a helmet law by the friendly deputy. After checking my drivers license and vehicle plate, He informed me that he wasn't writing me a ticket (I did commit several operator indisgressions). I will remember to have my Helmet on this Spring at Spyderfest pps:

well i have noticed that over the years and the greyer my beard gets the less the cops look at me, they tend to look at the younger riders
