Beware everyone:
It may SAY you're going 85, but you're really going 97mph in a 70mph zone. I realized that right before I saw the flashing blue lights in my bar-ends. DAMN! I didn't think the bike could go that fast! (I don't think the cop thought it could go that fast, either )
Fortunately I get to go to driving school. That means I don't get 10 points on my license (and hopefully means the conviction will be expunged from my record!). And I only have to pay $100 instead of $350.
So, remember..... Reckless driving is still reckless driving, even if your crappy 1980s speed-limited speedo says you're only going 15 over!
Hooray! I get to go to driving school!
Glad you hear you won't be losing your license. I'll take that as proof that your bike's running better now? I don't enjoy going that fast on mine, but it will do it. Been there, done that and let off as soon as I saw the speedo For me it qualifies as 'riding beyond my ability'... way beyond my ability.

Good to hear you solved your top end power problems. I appreciate your engaged effort to get an official confirmation of success.
Driving school.
Lucky you to have the option of going to school, rather than being slapped with a huge finacial/points penalty. Let us know how things go. I'd be curious how many attendees are grumblers who look at it all as a waste of time.
.....to be myself, a pattern for others.
