Was always fortunate in Blighty, guess I was scared of the throttle back then. 
Since then, had the San Diego Sherriff/California Highway Patrol want me to pull over twice (flashing lights and waving arms) but I was in the twisties and in the time it took 'em to turn and chase me I was gone...lucky breaks.
Me and my girl got stopped around 6.30pm on New Years Eve for 85 in a 55, she took off her lid and with me stood by her side with a 'foreign' accent and her smiling eyes and out of state license (Pennsylvania) he let us off with a simple request, "Just slow it down and get home safely ok folks?"
We were like, "Oh absolutely sir, thank you, have a Happy New Year."
He was cool.

Lucky - I think not. If the policeman had done his job properly, Mathew would still be alive. We were both on SV's and he had his girlfriend on the back 
The policeman advised me not to ride with him again as he would kill himself and probably Laura. How right he was.
Matthew Prete Died July 5th 2004
As reported by the Plymouth Herald.
"The grief-stricken brother and girlfriend of a motorcyclist killed on Monday today told of the 'huge gap' the 22-year-old's death will leave in their lives. Matthew Prete, from Woolwell, was riding his beloved Suzuki SV650 with a group of friends when he collided with a BMW at a notorious junction on the A390 at Gulworthy Cross, at about 8.15pm on Monday evening.
The former Estover Community College pupil was today remembered by his brother, Daniel, 26, and his girlfriend, Laura Wooldridge, 22, as a happy-go-lucky young man who lived for his work and his bike.
Matthew joined the RAF at 17 and spent three years at RAF Lyneham as a ground technician maintaining generators.
During his stint in the service Matthew spent six months in Kuwait, but he decided to leave because he missed his friends and family in Plymouth. Two years ago he came back to live with his mother, Joan, and started work as a car salesman at Haxby's, in Crownhill.
Matthew had been keen on motorbikes from a young age and when he was given a company car, he decided to treat himself to a high powered bike. He bought the Suzuki SV605 last October and enjoyed riding with friends and his girlfriend, Laura, around Devon and Cornwall.The couple had been going out for nine months and were planning to move in together in February after Laura completed her nursing training in Taunton.
Although Laura did not go out with Matthew the day he died, he was with six friends who will ride their bikes as part of Matthew's funeral procession next Friday at Efford Crematorium at 2.30pm.
Matthew's love of sports extended to jet skiing and he bought a jet ski with his brother which the pair would launch from Mount Batten. Matthew also enjoyed fishing and surfing the Internet.
Daniel remembered his brother as a talented salesman who would often be late home for tea because he had stopped to help someone fix their car. "He was a happy-go-lucky person who would speak to anyone and would do anything to help people."He would always put himself out to help others," he said. "He was just a happy, smiling face who was always there for you. You could rely on him and if you wanted something, Matthew was the person to see. "He could sell sand to an Arabian. He loved his job and every day he loved the thought that he was going to work. "He would start at 8am and not get home until 10pm sometimes. He was happy as a sandboy when he was at work."
