Tht's a whole other can of worms, better left to the Rant section....

True story (except he may have been ordering Chicken Mc Nuggets, I don't know).

The way you tell that story its sound like you! Hmmm? miss spent youth?

Hey we all do stupid when we are young, I'v got the scars to prove it. Never run from the cops in the USA. But did it once or twice in the UK. This was in the very early eighties, and back then Uk traffic police did not have helicopters. Got caught once, I was not a happy camper. How many times can you bump your head going in and out of a police car? quite a lot apparently! It's a long story.
What ever the reason never run from the cops. Your just looking for a whole world of trouble. I would say to the original poster, if you really need a motorcycle fix maybe buy a dirtbike instead. No issues with having a licence there. Plus gets you off the road. You can crash your heart out in the dirt learning bike skills at the same time. Also chicks dig scars!

Not hardly. I read it in the paper or heard it on the radio or TV.

Besides, I was riding an '86 700 Nighthawk S at that time... It topped out at about 115 (which I only know from a deserted road late at night;), on my way home from work).

I did have a friend with a 600 Hurricane who outran a cop at 2 am on his way home from work (he was a bartender). I thought he was an idiot for doing that.

Like someone stated above, just pull over and pay the ticket. I've done that plenty of times. Since I was a teacher from 1974 through 2008, it wouldn't have looked too good if I got arrested.

I can't afford to be full time, Im going to take math 151 and its $1300 for 4 credits

You could check into the community colleges. Usually somewhat cheaper. But yes, cost is usually the biggest problem for most people in that situation.
