Discussion
Bike related, and not so much caught speeding , but the copper in question was more interested in the airborne front wheel. He stopped me pretty sharpish, walked around the bike with endless criticisms ( Yamaha 350 YPVS ), and left me with the unforgettable line " My name's Johnson, spelt B A S T A R D. Keep riding like that, and you'll be seeing a lot of me. " I did end up seeing a lot of him, and bizarrely, we became friends. I lost touch with him when I packed the bikes in.
5 years later, in the car, late for a dental appointment, I joined a motorway on the A1 at approximately a ton, with my foot still well in, and quickly became aware that I had a Police bike alongside me. Deep cack, and toothache forgotten, as he pointed to the hard shoulder. We pulled in, and the officer in question marched across. We both burst out laughing when we saw each other, it's Johnson, of course. The conversation goes like this. ( Him ) How have you been, where you going, still always in a hurry? ( Me ) Er, dentist, should have been there 10 minutes ago. ( Him ) Oh, toothache, does it hurt? ( Me ) Yeah, abscess. ( Him ) Oh well, if you miss your appointment, that can be your punishment. By the way, I hear your getting married, where's my invite after all the favours I've done for you!
I never did find out how he knew I was getting married, and I wish he had come to the wedding, absolute star.

Now that really is what you call a Cool Story Bro 5 years later, in the car, late for a dental appointment, I joined a motorway on the A1 at approximately a ton, with my foot still well in, and quickly became aware that I had a Police bike alongside me.
