Well....tonight I pulled a bait and hook on this punkazz kid. I do feel a little guily about it...but hey, I didn't twist his arm.

I went to the movies to see The Da Vinci Code (which didn't impress me) with a friend, and after the movie I was taking her home on the bike when I saw this cop beside the road with a speed trap. It is this stretch of road that joins two parts of the city. I would say it is about 1.5 miles long with a light at each end and a big curve in it....2 lanes each direction. I think this is only the second time I remember ever seeing a cop on this stretch, and in my head I was thinking, "thank god I have this chick on the bike with me, or I would have surely gotten another ticket".

Well anyway, I drop her off at her place, say goodnight and headed off for home. When I came to the light to hit this stretch of road again, this kid pulls up beside me in a honda or something like that. you know...some jap machine like in the fast and the furious. So he has this god awful rap crap blasting that really kinda annoys me. I really think it shoud be against the law to force other drivers to have to hear that noise pollution, but that is another topic all together. Then he has the nerve to look over at me and starts gunning his engine. I was just about to give him a sign that there was a cop just up around the corner, when I thought, "fuck him and his vin diesel wanna be attitude". So I nod my head yes and start playing with the throttle. The light turns green and we are off. I took just enough of a lead to force him to really hammer down on it. I still haven't gotten around to replacing my broken speedo, but I am sure we must have been up to about 90mph or so...maybe a bit faster. Then about halfway through this curve, just before I was going to pop into line of sight of the cop I saw there just 10 minutes earlier, I come onto the brakes and drop down to around the speed limit by my guess. This kid just keeps on going...leaving me behind. I came around the corner just as the cop was pulling out with his lights on....and he took off after the kid. I dropped my speed even more to give the kid a chance to actually pull over before I go past him. When I got to him, I gave him one of those "thumb to the nose while wiggling your fingers" signals, except the thumb was against my visor.....you know, the one that goes with na na nana na.

I know it sucks for him, and I guess it was not cool of me....but I gotta tell ya, I giggled all the way home over that. I wish I knew how fast he got nailed at...and how much it cost him.
