Rode out of Windsor yesterday in very hot, humid weather. Also had a great tail wind along Lake Erie. I wasn't in any rush as the Windsor to Appin distance is roughly 200 kms. So, I had the Glide on cruise at a respectable 108 kph in a 90 kph zone and gently leapfrogging cars when I picked up on these 2 vehicles in tandem doing the same thing behind me. Rather quickly, they were both behind me and I noticed they were the county mounties in unmarked Dodge Chargers with roof lights that barely are identifyable in a bike mirror. Not wanting to be obvious, I kept the cruise on, you know making that statement: " What!? I ain't hurtin no one". After an uncomfortable 30 sec or so, they still had not turned on their lights but I figured I'd made my point and began to slow down. They must have seen the Alberta plates and thought, we do need their oil, or he's an old flatlander out in the godforsaken prairies, or some such thought because they both slowed and turned away.
When I consider the weather I've been enjoying, the company I've been keeping, the relatively low volume of commercial traffic, and almost no road construction, it would seem I've got 2 horseshoes shoved so far up my ass, no cop is going to pull me over (or them out for that matter) during this trip .

Bob,
ReplyDeleteSlowing down in your old age? haha Then again Ontario was always bad for cops. You got to get out on some USA roads. In my 12 day trip to the four corners, never saw one cop until I got back into Idaho and they were sparse. Hope you got your helmet on, remember the last time you were in Ontario? Carole did that trick in Nevada last month and luckily we never got pulled over. We finally got some warm weather here, did some riding yesterday and today. Back to work tomorrow for 4...God I wish I was doing the trip your doing right now. Ride safe.
Later,
Ger
