Exclamation Dam, blue lights...

Less then 2 miles from home and I get pulled, I was doing more then 30 in a 30, though I couldn't tell you how much as I was just running on normal mode.
I imagine my speed was anything from 30 to 35 to 40 mph, though he said the main reason he pulled me was that he suspected me of drinking as I was a tad wobbly. This might have been true as the last bend I took all wrong.

One of those things though, just asked all the usual questions. Thats not your real colour hair is it? Nope. Where you been? London. When did you leave? Sometime before 12. Where you going? Just going to post something in to my brothers house over there and then home. Whats your name and address? Blah.
While all this is going on his mates looking over the bike and checking the details, even stuck his hand on the tyre to see how warm it was.
Just got asked to slow down and sent on my way... So in all it could have been a million times worse.

So wake up call Mr Martin.

I was polite, didn't get funny in any way and answered all his questions.

And why would I ask him that when he's just sent me on my way.

If you have the right attitude with the plods they are usually fair back. I think there are some good ones out there and those are given a bad name by people simply not liking plods. But even if you are arsey they will only give u a ticket for the offence u committed, be nice you may get off.

I remember getting pulled after picking my bros up from the airport, he had been on beer and therefore the car smelt a little and it was 3am.

I was tired looking and dozy (my normal look) when I got pulled, but the officer explained why he wanted me to do a breath test and was nice. I did it and 5 mins later was on my way. I always find it a nice experience getting pulled by a man in uniform. One day it will be a woman
