When I was younger, I used to ride on the road alot. I only ran once and that was because I had a bag of "something not so legal" in my pocket. I ditched down a two track that led to a 200 acre field. There was a creek at the back of the field that led to another 80 acre field. I lived next to the 80 acre field.I got home and ditched the "baggy" and started walking to the house.
I about died when the officer pulled into my driveway and asked why I ran! I said I didn't have the money for a ticket. I asked him how he found me and he said "that thing is so loud i could hear where you where going, and you parked it in the driveway".
Yeah, I know that was stupid but i was like 14 or 15 and was not thinking to clearly at the time...
He didn't give me a ticket, He just wanted to scare the sh*t out of me (it worked) and then went on his way! Needless to say I don't plan on doing that again!
The next day I bought a new muffler and quit smoking! lol
I still rode on the roads but I rode on the shoulder, and didn't go faster then 20-25 MPH. The same officer saw me Riding a few weeks later and just waved and kept driving so he must have figured i learned my lesson.
I did get stopped by a few other officers and they just said to ride slower and to be careful.
I think this was because I always wore a Helmet and wasn't goofing around like all my friends.
