Don't run from the cops!

[Asphalt Surfer]

High speed bike chase just ended on 205 N. They lost it on Johnson. Funniest part is my husband called me cause this bike blew past him and the cop was up in front of Matt's car! The cop just took off chasin him so i turned on the scanner and listened till they lost it. I wont say what kind of bike but they got the plate, and a good description!

*Update
I just got off the phone with a friend and he said it sounds exactly like someone who lives in his complex! He was crackin up and said the guy isn't on the boards but is kinda whack anyhow! :squid:

Saturday's weather was so perfect that I had to take advantage of it by going for a ride. I road from McMinnville down to Tillamook then up to the Necanicum Junction up Hwy 26 to Hwy 47 and back to Mac.

Several of the roads that I took had a lot of gravel on them so I was being pretty mellow all day long. That turned out to be a good thing, but I still ended up being pulled over. I'd only been on Hwy 26 a short time. Near the bottom of the first big climb that you make as you head from the Necanicum Jct. toward Portland, there was a State Trooper parked on the other side of the road. I watched in my mirror and, sure enough, he started moving as soon as I passed him. The Trooper swung a quick U-turn and pulled up behind me. I was going the speed limit the whole time but he still flicked on his lights so I pulled over, shut the bike off, put the kick stand down, and had my gloves off and was removing my helmet by the time that he came up to talk to me.

He said that he stopped me because of where my license plate is mounted (it's mounted to the bottom of the seat base, near the battery box with a light shining on it to illuminate it). He said that a lot of riders that like to try to run from the police mount their plates there or the mount them with zip ties so that they'll swing up out of the way if they're riding at high speeds.

He asked me if I've ever run from a cop. I take great pride in being able to honestly answer, "NEVER!" I never have. I never will. It's a point of honor for me. I still live with the guilty feelings that I have from the time I came hauling ass around that sweeping right hand corner, hanging off the inside of the bike only to look up and see that Trooper's car parked on the side of the road in an obvious radar trap. In that split second my brain simultaneously recognized that I was going fast enough to earn a trip to jail and told the fingers on my right hand to grap too much front brake causing me to lose the front wheel and crash. That poor Trooper had to watch me do the rag doll thing down 280' of Hwy 26. I'll always remember the look in his eyes and on his face and the way that his hand was shaking when he came back to help me. Likewise, I'll always remember the three times he said, "I was sure you were dead!"

Even after putting him through that, he was so nice to me. I owe him and the rest of the police who put their lives on the line too much respect to ever run from one. If I screw up and get caught doing something wrong, or if my bike is out of spec in some way, I'll always stop and take my punishment. I'll always shut my bike off, put the kick stand down, and remove my gloves and helmet so that the officer can relax and know that I'm not going anywhere or doing anything until he says it's OK.

The only punishment that happened this time was the "old guy" crack that the Trooper gently slipped in when he said, "No offense, but it usually the young guys on the Hondas and Suzukis that try to run from us." OUCH!!! Hey Kris, maybe it's time for me to get rid of all this grey hair that I have. How much does it cost to color a guy's hair and beard? I'm getting tired of all the old guy cracks I've been getting lately.
