I was coming home from Fayetteville after Bikes Blues and BBQ last Sunday a week ago. I had gotten up at 4:30am so I could be at my home church at 10 am. It was an uneventful ride until I got down to McKinney on US 75 southbound. I was rollin along about 80-85. I came up behind a lady who was in the left lane, talking on her dang phone, oblivious to the fact she was road-blocking the left lane. Well, an opening came and I was able to bop over two lanes and back over and continue to motor on down the road in the left lane, except the other vehicle I moved around in the process was an all blacked out Ford F150 with private plates. Now I'm not saying I was wrong or right, but he started shadowing every move I made. Finally after a couple miles of this cat and mouse dance, traffic cleared and I could see down the road for about a mile or mile and a half. "Ok big boy, lets see what you have"...…. I open up the Goldwing for a high speed run up to about a buck 25...…… well it's bad sportsmanship when you lose the race and turn on your red and blues. I said to myself...…."I'm going to jail, not church". I eased off to the shoulder and put my flashers on. I stopped and he got out and came up to me and said...."You need to slow that bike down!", I said this..."I would have taken off if you hadn't started shadowing me, that not cool in this day and time, I have no clue if you intend me harm!", he says: "I get it, but I had to slow you down, I turned my lights on at 110 mph, just slow it down." Me: "Yes sir, thanks and have a good day." I had hit 125 mph. I cannot believe I walked on this ticket. He wasn't running any radar either. Just a Collin County Deputy out on Sunday morning commute. I guess he thought I was gonna run and he was gonna get to chase me down. Yeah, I know it was stupid, but a heck of a story to tell. Oh and I half blew out a Plug and Go plug in the process as a few miles down the road my FOBO app on my cell started saying "Unsafe Tire Pressure". Made it on to church with about 27 lbs left in my darkside rear tire.
