[QUOTE="gregory, post: 1339211, member: 8728"] Geezer, That simply was not an option in our case. Court was MANDITORY for both of us. I too, feel that we were not at the speed stated, but I was not looking at the speedo. In hindsight, I wish I had asked to see the radar gun readout. As Peter stated, we were passing lots of "larger" slower traffic, and my focus was on that task. In my case, I was 2 up, and nowhere near my limit for having Michelle on the back for the given conditions. After we were pulled over, I saw a second trooper heading back down the hill to set up again. I have no doubt that this is a serious revenue generating section of highway for them. This section is three lanes (1 West bound and our lane, 2 East bound) gentle curves, no tree line at the road, visibility for miles (Except of course for Colorado State Troopers) and has no reason to be 45MPH. A little further East, as your going by the lake, it is 65MPH, less visibility as the curves are a little sharper and much more congestion due to lake traffic. Ah well, for all the times I could have had the bike [I]confiscated, [/I]$205 is a bargain. As for Co reporting this to CA, it will be a wait and see. [/QUOTE]
