I hope you get caught.
And no I'm not an ass... I ride, and I don't ride the speed limit, and yes I own a radar detector. But pissing off truckers, park rangers, workers, and the cops, and then getting a giggle because they're talking about how dangerous and stupid you are.... yea that's real fun.
Curiously, I wasn't doing any of those things. The truckers were thoroughly entertained once they discovered I could hear them on LADD and gave me updates on the road ahead. Where the highway worker phoned it in, I was going below the speed limit because of a crosswalk, likely just looked fast when I bent her into the curve after that. Shortly after that, F&W dispatch put out an update about some sheep on the highway and mentioned the motorbike too. As for taking a scenic detour through a town where I lived for a couple summers while the RCMP came back from some nearby calls, it was certainly more relaxing than getting tailed by a cruiser.
