85 in a 55. I was in a rush and late for an appointment, and got hit by a state trooper. Luckily, the trooper spelled my name wrong and put the wrong model year down on the ticket, so when I got to the courthouse, the trooper didnt show up, and the judge dismissed everything.

Definitely was a lucky day for me. *lol*

Pulled over and ticketed for 40/25, but I've been pulled over and warned for 60/45

I'll go ahead and /thread right now. Got a "in excess of 170mph in a 75" on my ZX-7 back in the late 90's. No, I'm not proud of it, but I did do a few stupid things in my youth. Cop said he had his Camaro pinned a 150 mph and we (4 of us) left him like he was parked. In fact, we didn't even know he was back there.

Hmm...75 in a 25. For bonus points I was airborne when I crossed in front of the cop. Next best one was 88 in a 70, but that was honestly BS, I was cruising below 80. I've gotten all my tickets dropped, all but one using a traffic lawyer. They're well worth the money.

It's the ticket's I haven't gotten that would ave been the big ones, but I won't discuss them in detail. Just rest assured that some of them would have been very bad and I use to have some very bad stupid habits.

That's crazy i8acobra. It's also one of the reasons I never bought a fast bike. I don't think I would be able to control myself on it.

115 in a 100. And I was being passed by a minivan that was in the left lane. This is why I hate traffic cops.

I'm in the same boat as 187 it's the ones I haven't been caught for like 125 in a 25 one of the dumbest things I have ever done. only one speeding ticket I have gotten was 40 in a 30 and it was bull cause I was turning at a stoplight, It was dropped.

Nice! How did you get caught? Was he able to still read your license plate and call it in?
