Well said....
Just FYI, I have been in a situation where I could not see or hear a LEO behind me. It was very cold and I was trying to get home as fast as I could. I was hugging the tank with my feet up on the passenger pegs and I was hauling ***. Maybe 85-90 MPH. I couldn't see my mirrors because I was hunkered down so much. What I did notice (it was nighttime) was the red and blues flashing on a speed limit sign. I sat up and noticed a police car about a half mile behind me with lights going. I pulled over and removed my gloves and helmet and turned the bike off before he got there. The LEO was very cool about the whole thing and let me go. He told me that he had clocked me speeding and pulled out on to the road with his lights on and blipped the siren a few times but it was obvious that I couldn't hear him. He followed me for about 3 or 4 miles and was radioing his pal down the road to wait for me. I explained that I had just gotten off of work and was trying to get home before it got REALLY cold out. We then discussed bikes and he told me that he always regretted selling his bike . As we parted company he told me where some other LEO's would be waiting on my way home .
He was thankful that I stopped for him as soon as I noticed and was very cool about the whole matter.
It just goes to show that there may be too many variables for us to decide what really happened.
