To the R1 Squid on SB17 10-12 @ 4:45

:thumbup Thank You, Thank You, Thank You very much to the tap on the helmet warning! If you hadn't warned me about the CHP on NB17 at the Lexington Dam, I woulda be totally busted. I could barely see him due to the shadows from the tree and if you hadn't seen him and given the universal sign of PoPo it coulda been ugly. Think 85 in a 50.

BTW, I know it was hot out but T-shirt and shorts on your R1 is a bit less protection than most of us would recommend. But hey, I'm not condemming here. You obviously know your shit.

Thanks again. I owe you one. :thumbup

He saved you from a speeding ticket ... but yet you can insult him by calling him a squid and be a gear nazi:confused ?!! You should take that exessive speed to the track :laughing .

I'd rather be doing 85 in a 50 with full gear and get a ticket than crash doing the speed limit with a T-shirt!

Hey RickyHayden,

I'm not saying doing 85 in a 50 is cool, but who is the bigger squid? The guy with the flip-flops on a hyperbike or the guy with the ham fist? I say they are both taking some risks.

I'm pretty sure that the R1 squid wouldn't view being called a squid as an insult. What do you call a guy on a LiterClass sportbike wearing T-shirt and shorts?

BTW, I don't usually ride that stretch of 17 @ 85mph. I was just in a hurry. The Lexington Dam area IS the easiest place to air it out though.
