There, I broke the silence 'round here. :teeth
Ponch and John.
You called?

Back in 1969 I was riding my new Honda CB750. Rare at the time, they were just being introduced to the Santa Clara Valley.
I was going east on Stevens Creek Road towards Monte Vista by the Blackberry Farm down a steep grade. Easy to go over the limit, I had been ticketed there before. I was under the limit and saw a Santa Clara County Sheriff car at the bottom, usual place to nab speeders.
As I rode by he lit me up and pulled me over. I knew I wasn't doing anything wrong. He jumped out of his squad car and came up to me and said I didn't do anything wrong, he just want to see my bike and ask me about it. We jabbered for 20 minutes or so (he was an enthusiast). He even asked how fast I had it up to and I answered honestly (125mph). He didn't bat an eye and just said he read that they could go that fast.
A fun conversation, although a bit unusual.

Did you buy it at San Jose Honda @ 1610 So. 1st St (corner of Alma)? Got my '76 CB550-Four there, a whopping $1701.56 OTD.:afm199
It was a pretty cool experience. A lot better than "can I see your drivers license and registration, do you know why I pulled you over?" which is how I was normally greeted.That's one way of meeting the nicest people on a Honda. :laughing
Note a LEO, but the obvious answer is by getting off of the bike regularly and writing a lot of tickets. :coolSo how do you LEO's avoid getting monkey butt from riding all day if its hot?
