Saw a guy try this on a Moto Guzzi.... he dropped the bike and came about 3 inches from taking out a line of 8 Ducs parked side by side... the only thing that stopped it was the leg of the guy next to him.... ouch.

again, i can only grab a glove that slides off the tank, i know my limits. I'm also only in the mid-20's, so i'm still fairly limber. (not tree-climbing limber, but limber enough).

This whole story seems rather odd to me.

Passing a CHP in HIS lane above the speed limit ? ....What's up with that Huh?

Anyone tapping me on the Shoulder at 70 mph ( other than a very experienced riding buddy) to me is NOT cool IMHO .

Won't be a problem since I ride alone 99% of the time anyway .

Glad it turned out ok for the OP.

I would agree that it was wrong in hindsight on the officers part. But what you learned from the experience was far more valuable.

However, the moment that happened, I figured you didn't get ticketed before you mentioned it.

sounds like a case of poor judgement all around.
glad it was a learning experience rather than an accident.
