  • Hey aren't you a statetrooper?

    Coming home from work and I pull into the gas station. Following me is some dude with his girl on a brand new gix 600. I get off and go inside to pay and get some mentos. I get outside and pump gas. This dude comes around the other side to talk. He tells me he almost bought a kat 600 but choose the gix and now wishes he bought a faster bike. So I'm like squid all the way. I walk over to see his bike which is real sweet. I took a close look at him..... Hey' aren't you a statetrooper? He gets a little wierd then answers yes why do you ask. You are the cop who pulled me over a year ago remember no endorsment. He starts to laugh and remembers who I was. He tells me he sorry about that and asks me how I made out in court. Told not bad cost me 320 bucks. Then I told him no sweat he was doing his job and I was an idiot. But he gave me this big lecture about bikes being death machines. He didn't have an answer for that but told me he kept stopping bikes and started to notice they are pretty cool loking so he went out and bought one. Told him maybe we'll go out riddin sometime. Exchanged numbers and went off on our own way.

          There was an urban ledgend in the UK that cops would have black rat stickers
          on their helemts.. So they wouldn't get stopped or ticketed
          from the Gatso.. Maybe he has something similar??

            To think it only cost me 5 bucks to get the endorsment.

                My cousin used to ride and he's a cop. He and a few of his buddies (who are also cops) were some of the worst riders I've seen. If and when they get pulled over, they just say they are cops, or pull out their wallet that has their badge in it. Occasionally get told to slow down, or just let go.
                Unreal.

                    I know the cops in Pinellas county sheriff's office put a small black "P" on their car's license plates -- on the basis that it keeps them from getting parking-ticketed when they are in court, but it also works for other "issues". Similarly, there's the FOP emblems that can be screwed onto the license plate frame... And then there's the badge-flash, or the clothing in the window (jacket with logo on it)...
                    Related story:
                    When I was in the military in Germany, the local Kaufhof (think German KMart) had a sweatshirt that said "Highway Patrol, Helicopter Pilot Squad", bright yellow with imprint. I bought it because I was cold that day...
                    Fast-forward 5 years, and I get a call about 11:30 pm from an old female friend who had a flat on the way home. Jump on my bike (Honda shadow), ride to where her car is on the interstate, and find her sitting on her trunk swilling beers (doesn't help that she's a police dispatcher at that instant, eh?). I start talking to her, and about 90 seconds later a PD car pulls up and starts the blue-light serenade. I turn to wave at him, and as soon as he sees the imprint on that sweatshirt, he shuts down the lights and drives away. I know he saw her guzzling it down... But hey, good-old-boy-network and all that, right? I didn't even realize I had the sweatshirt on until he pulled out

                    Cheers,

                      Here in Georgia, "Power Stickers," black-blue-black stripes, about 4" x 3", are popular on cars and even some bikes. The original implication was that the driver was a LEO, but now it seems everyone has one. Personally,I think it was bullshit from the start, and I don't think it gets anyone off- overused, at the very least.

                        Superbike magazine (or maybe fast bikes) included the rat sticker in an issue once.. I had one on my helmet (here in the US) so I'm sure if it was true in the UK the magazine blew it for them..

                            I ride with a cop sometimes. He's a phenomenal rider, and does not subscribe to speed limits on the highway or in the back twisties.
                            And of course they don't give each other tickets... would you? DUI sure, but for infractions you let your brothers walk.
