Yesterday, I went from surface street to highway, 65mph limit. It was 0 dark-thirty, so not the best visibility with my motorcycle helmet. At the light before I turned, was a motorcycle, that I mistook for a Large Honda couch - Aspencade or something. So, I shot onto the freeway about 90mph, then slowed to my usual 85/86...about 1/4 mile in front of me was another motorcyclist doing about the same speed. Then, a motorcycle cop flies by me! Had to be doing triple digits, pulls in front of me, slows a little, then blows by the other cyclist on his right in the same lane!! No emergency lights on...I had mistook the motorcycle at the light as was VERY grateful he just kept on going!

I deserve a speeding ticket every single day, not for crazy riding/driving, just for going over the limit. Here in CA, if you drive the speed limit on the freeways, you'll get passed 99% of the time by someone doing 15-20 mph faster! I was lucky yesterday!

Sorry to hear about your ticket, that one sucks! :(
