[QUOTE="saread, post: 1408768, member: 13880"] Some years ago I hooked up with some local hooligans from the PNWRiders web site for a run to Winthrop over SR20. Now I really should have known better, but what the fuck, my bagger is sporty enough and I was feeling it. Nevertheless, I'm running sweep because even though I'm pretty dumb, I figure I'm smart enough to apply splints and bandages and the guys running in front might need that service. We're tearing it up pretty good as we come down the dip between Rainy and Washington passes. The guy in front of me pulls out to pass a couple of cages going through the dip and I follow. As we pass the rest area at the bottom I see Washington's finest. I glance down and it's indicating north of 120. Fuck, this is going to hurt. We get stopped at the next wide out and the WSP steps out and he looks like he's about 19. Double fuck. There's nothing worse than a WSP fresh from the academy. I'm bracing for a smoking ass chewing and perhaps a trip to town it the back of the cruiser. But, he walks up and says: "Hey you guys, I ride too and I know sometimes you just have to let it go but you have to be careful out here, we just picked a guy up yesterday who hit a deer." Now I'm confused. Young WSP without an attitude? Huh? Turns out that his ride is a GSXR 1000 and he does get it. He tells us to clue in our friends and to have a good day - but take it easy. Whoa, missed a big one there. But, to be fair, he didn't have us on radar and that little section of highway is in Whatcom County and his office is in Okanogan. That would have put the court in Bellingham and he would have had to waste a whole day or more to drive to court. Which he wouldn't have done. There was no sense in trying to write a ticket that would have been tossed anyway. Although, he could have been a dick, and he wasn't. He chose to educate in a way that connected with the folks he contacted rather than extract the traditional WSP pound of flesh. Very professional. [/QUOTE]
