I'm sure age might have something to do with it, but I've also had them specifically say "Thanks for not running and pulling over right away".
Last time we got pulled over were cruising out in the Texas hill country, doing about 10-15 over the limit came over a small rise to see a Constable coming right towards, he passes us and in the mirror I see him flip on the lights, so we pull over immediately, and by the time he has made a U turn we are already off our bikes and pulling gear off. He mentions that bikes never pull over and thanks us for doing so, he runs our DL's, checks insurance, looks over the bikes and then starts complimenting us on the Monsters and lets us off with a warning

My experience with law enforcement is pretty limited, however I have been pulled over far more times than I have been ticketed, both on a bike and in a car (far more times in the car). My formula is to be polite, don't lie, don't give attitude yes sir no sir etc. I've worked with former police officers in jobs overseas been social with them at the gym and even ridden with them. The one thing they have all said bar none is that they get lied to every single day all day, and the best chance to get a warning is to be polite and tell the truth. My attitude is simple, I know the speed limit, I know when I am exceeding it ( except for some few occasions)if he decides to write me a ticket I earned it, so how can I mad, it's my fault?
Anyway, my $.02 worth exactly what you paid for it

The only time I have got out of a speeding ticket, I pulled over before the cop had even turned his lights on and told the truth.
I was going 75 in a 55 zone just at the crest of a hill. I knew I was toast as soon as I saw him so no reason to play stupid.

Getting back on topic....
Tow truck driver came to pick up my totaled bike - "damn that is a beautiful bike-sorry it's coming with me and not staying here".
maybe I need to start a "saddest thing anyone has said about your monster" thread

Took a long ride today and will have a ride report and pic for ducs in the wild. Last part of the ride sucked literally an hour of stop and go, I thought my left hand was going to fall off! However once back in town I was following some guy in a red Mercedes SLK 55 convertible who was obviously impatient or feeling frisky since he was weaving back and forth "warming his tires" like. I passed when the road went for one to 3 lanes and low and behold it was a woman, quick glimpse of long red hair was the clue. I stopped at the light and with a clear road in front of her she stopped, pointed to my bike and gave a thumbs up
I pointed back at her car and gave her one too and then she sped off. I was going to describe her as a very good looking older woman, then I realized....she was probably my age
but oh my, a good looking redhead in hot car who wasn't just poking along..
Made my entire day!

As I'm walking into a shop to drop off my bike to get the tank replaced, a shop tech and customer were outside.
Customer: Nice helmet man! (just a Flying Tigers Bell helmet)
Tech: Screw the helmet, I'm checkin' out the bike!

I have two:
Went riding with some Money Ducatistis (dudes that have massive flow, enough to buy a Panigale and a Diavel, have them shipped together from Europe and know absolutely squat about their machines). I pull up and one dude says "your clutch sounds awesome" (not noticing the enclosed basket or the reservoir). I say, "it's not the clutch dude, its the carbs". The look of awe and confusion on his face was the compliment.
The other one was when I recently did a track day at NYST. A guy says "what
is
that? An SS? I want it! Just a nice thing to hear when outclassed at a track surrounded by hordes of R1's.

Unfortunately! I need to get the tank replaced though. It has expanded so much I can't even get the latch past the ignition.
