Drewp,

Great to ride with you although with the weather it was more eating and yacking than riding.

Here are the links to the motorcycle "beating":

Drewpy and a Buell rider named Barker (pictured below):

had just rolled off a high speed pass of over the posted limit when a State Trooper crested the hill. I was running 3rd slot of 5 people (doing about 80). He crossed the median right at me. I'm thinking, he's either going to blow past us and pull us ALL over or he is going to snatch the last of the pack. I was glad not to be last in the pack.

He busted a u-turn lights on. I looked in the RVM for my buddy to be pulled over, and waited, and waited, and waited....

He never came after us. There was a Christmas tree that was laying half in the right lane. He pulled over to pull it out of the way.

I don't know if THAT was why he crossed the median or if it was us. He may have decided that a chase would occur and with the recent heat they are getting from the previous motorcycle stop decided not to make it happen.

Anyway, Drewp and Barker dodged the bullet Saturday.
