    But I did get this in the mail today.

    You got away easy, I had the cops come to my door once with a complaint! I just told the officer that they need to do a better job keeping slower drivers in their appropriate lane... he wasn't impressed.

        I'm ready to start reporting every head-up-the-ass infraction I see! Failure to yield, failure to signal, improper lane usage, etc... I'll be on the phone all day but why should the quicker drivers always be the ones reported? Time to make a list of elderly and timid motorists that need to be removed from the public roads.

            You'll never see one those around here, if the cops don't see it, it didn't happen. If the cops get several complaints over a period of time in a particular area, they might set up a watch and increase patrols for awhile. One thing the Sheriff's Dept or State cops won't do is chase a gaggle of crotch rockets ie 100 mph clubs, just to dangerous for everyone.

              On the topic of police, I got my first speeding ticket yesterday, he clocked me going 120 kph in an 80 zone on the malahat.
              I got it off easy, and paid $113 with the pay within 2 weeks discount.

                Did he reduce the amount of speed you were doing? Because even with paying it early it should be more.

                    The officer just fined me for speeding, not excessive speeding and it was $134 before the discount of $25.

                        120kph on the Malahat is hardly speeding... of course, it is over the posted limit.

                        I got off lucky yesterday afternoon on the Ducati... I came whipping through a set of tight turns only to pop out in front of a ghost car heading the other way. I got a quick flip on/off of the wig-wags and blue/reds and a finger-shaking "tsk, tsk" from the female officer driving. The second I saw her, I sat up and raised my left hand to signify that I knew that I was boned but she just continued on her way. Either she's a rider herself or the Ducati worked its magic in seducing members of the fairer sex. Regardless, I was well over the posted limit (30kph zone! )when we met and she could have made my life very miserable...

                          Haha, I know right.
                          120 is usually my cruising speed, sadly the officer doesnt agree with my view.

                            Well it was 60F here today so EVERYBODY was out. I can't remember when I rode the E last, so it's been too long. Did a little 50-60 mile loop and saw everything from HDs to at least one Ducati.

                              Holy cow! Yesterday on the drive from Seward to Anchorage I saw a guy out riding, I couldn't believe it. There's a little slush on the road in some places but virtually no ice. It's been an incredibly warm winter this year (and last) I think I'd better get that maintenance done soon. Not brave enough to try riding too early though.😵🚑

                                It hit 63 degrees (at 2700 ft above sea level) today and there is no such thing as global warming!

                                Riding is so good for my lower back. Thank goodness for nice winter days. Let's see those frozen lakes!
