Back in the 70s my girlfriend bought a Kawasaki 400 S3 triple. I rode it home for her. I HAD to see what she would do so I wound it up to 109 M.P.H. (indicated) and about that time I saw red flashing lights in my rear view mirrors. I pulled over thinking "I just got my walking papers." In N.Y. State 20 over will get your license pulled. The N.Y. State Trooper instructed me to get in his car. I said to him, "I guess I'm in trouble, huh." He said "Maybe." He listened to my new bike story and I just wanted to see what it would do. After a long silence he said, "Well, I could ticket you for not having the bike inspected." I said OK. Then he said "If you appear in court I can easily change this to a speeding ticket." I said "I won't".
N.Y. State Troopers aren't usually this lenient.
