Tail Gaters!
So I am riding home at dusk last night.
I am at the point in the road Dynamite where it narrows from 2 lanes to one. The speed limit is 50 MPH and I am trying to keep up. I am on the little KLR. As I go along the cars in front of me are quite a ways in front. Two maybe three foot ball fields a head of me.
There is NO shoulder, just a drop off into a ravine. And this black car keeps tail gating me, getting closer and closer. I tried to speed up and catch up with the cars in front. I had just about got there when this guy is still on my ass.
By now the shoulder has a dirt strip wide enough for a car to pull off but remember I am still doing 60 ~ 70 MPH trying to get away from this guy. So I slow down move very far to the right and wave him around me.
Once I am slow enough I pull off into the dirt and try to wave him around me.
That's when he turns on all the lights on his unmarked cop car!!!
I shut off my bike, take off my helmet & gloves. And smile as he's walking up to me and say, "Now I know why you were tail gating me."
I said to him that I was trying to figure out why this guy didn't just pass me (meaning the cop) when he was so close and there was so much room. So I sped up to get ahead, but you (the cop) kept up with me. So I pulled off the road and was trying to wave you (the cop) around me, when you lit-up.
He took my license, told me that he was trying to read my license plate and that's why he was so close. He said, "This time I am going to believe that's why you sped up so just clean your plate."
OH MY GAWD! I talked my way out of a ticket. NO boobs involved.
Dude, I have never been able to talk my way out of a ticket, even with female accoutrements. Nice job!
