Ducati Monster Forum

So I coming home from SFO around 10PM,  doing the normal 280 N speed in traffic. Thinking to myself, "I haven't gotten a moving violation for a long damn time...I wonder if I could get my insurance to go down."
   -   -  At that spectacularly exact same moment -   -
Red lights in my rear-view mirror slide over behind me and snuggle up.

I pull over down a weird little side street by his direction over the loud speaker. "turn here, turn there," ending up in front of tacos tires and wedding cakes place.

With the usual blinding lights in my face, he asks if I'd been drinking.
I said, not that much.  He has me follow his finger while waving his flashlight around.

He tells me I was doing 80.
I said, ya, everyone is doing 80.
He said I was weaving in my lane, I said I was bored.
He said, "ok, have a good night," and left. The lights of his cruiser went off in a weird direction.

I think it was a UFO.
Have I just been "probed?"

Now I can't sleep.

Not again?

your mistake was thinking that you had not gotten a ticket in a while.  that ALWAYS brings on the chippies.

<wonders if he can get this thread locked>

I HATE the cops.  They are always pulling people over for no reason and then giving them bullshit tickets and raising their insurance rates. They're just power hungry assholes who are revenue generators for our morally and financially bankrupt local and state governments.

Oh, wait.  No ticket?  Nevermind then.   [thumbsup]

right on brother  [thumbsup]

kill the pigs  [leo]

Count your blessings that you didn't get a ticket.  When I get a ticket, I remind myself of the many times that I should have, but didn't.  Sometimes bad timing catches up with you.

Ciao!

I just count on getting a few tickets once in a while.  It's the cost of, well, venturing out of the house.  You didn't get one.  Don't ask why, just say thank you to God, Allah, the CHP, Zog, Ewoks...whatever higher power you feel it is that hasn't given you an anal reaming this day. 

Or get pissed and join the efforts to stop the billion dollar a year ticket/traffic school industry (http://www.ticketassassin.com/kangaroo.html) in California.

Protesting means caring.  And caring is just waaaaaay too much work. 

belle, that's cuz you're just one of the sheeple willing to let the jackbooted Nazi neanderthals trample on your rights on their way to establishing a totalitarian dictatorship where free thinkers and motorcycle riders are considered enemies of the state.  F'n pigs!!

<Are we closer to a lock yet?  Come on, people, ratchet up the rhetoric already.  I mean, Joe's already doin' his part.  ;D  >  

We need johnc to bring it to that level.

Yoikes.  That's definitely not something I wanna encourage.  Forget I said anything.   ;)

anarchy in the USA!!!  kill everyone who does not own/ride a ducati!!!   [evil] [evil] [evil]

how's THAT for ratcheting?

i figure as long as i don't mention the name of the person who cannot be spoken of here ... and i don't piss off 'belle ... i can ratchet it up and still not get banned  8)

No, you don't get it. This thread is about UFO's. 

If it was a cop, he would have just seen the $11tyb I've already contributed through parking tickets and shot me on the spot to end my misery. make the beast with two backsers. Rrrrrrrrrrrr. 
40% of SF city revenue is from parking Nazis!

Oh I'll ratchet. Just let Me at that ratchet. I'll ratchet all day on DPT, no court no law, no jurisprudence, no judge of peers, no appeal, progressive taxation make the beast with two backsing rob the public at large damn friggin' black hole heartless bastards.

Damn UFO is what it was.

This may or may not be safe for work. I don't speak UFO.  :P

moto a 340 kmh est fait un gros make the beast with two backs a la police (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBRPdt2bkRQ#normal)

why were they flippin' off the swedish chef??

He was looking for a deuce (drunk driver). Checked you for HGN, saw none, and let you go so he could spend his time finding a drunk to take to jail.

that's the way it should be done.

I made about 70 traffic stops last month. Wrote maybe 10 cites. Found 7 drunks. The life of a graveyard shift cop.

Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system!!!!

HELP HELP I&amp;#39;M BEING REPRESSED (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o76WQzVJ434#normal)

how many doughnuts/granola bars?

None of each. I like Hot Tamales and water. Maybe some Del Taco on the odd night.

Oddly I was thinking the same thing (no tickets in ages) when I did a rolling stop in my neighborhood.

Right in front of a cop  :-\

I made eye contact as soon as I noticed him there (duh)

He gave me the stink eye, I gave him the "sorry" look and he didn't bother to come after me.

Your mistake lies in coming from work at SFO.

I was actually coming home from vacation via SF0 for once. After about 130,000 flight miles this year, once was for fun.
Sheesh what a freaking year.  [coffee]

You suggesting another airport is better?

I guess not. I just have some bad memories of working for United at SFO.

What a coincidence. I have some bad memories of flying United into and out of SFO.

No Kidding, did your plane experience any mechanical...... difficulties?  [evil]
