No one "gets a speeding ticket" for 165 mph. They get cuffed and thrown in the cruiser while the bike gets impounded.

How fast was the ticket actually for?

Thank you!! I was going to say something, but didn't want to be the only one. The helmet switch was a nice touch to the story. :?

Cheers,

Yeah, but mine has a bit of head shake at the 150mph mark. But I just tuck in behind the fairing and ride it out. I lose my nerve at 180mph, though. My baggy pants act like parachutes at that speed and I keep having to go back and pick up my sideways baseball cap 'cause it keeps blowing off my head, anyway.
