And there was the time I was fighting a 30 mph headwind on my
Honda 200 on the way up to Madison Wis from Chicago, and the
cop (in Wis.) pulls me over for--get this--doing 71!  I'd been
watching the speedo very carefully, as the bike had only a
few hundred miles on it and I didn't want to push it to a
premature death, and my true speed was about 52.  I was getting
passed right and left by everything else on the road.  The cop
must have been behind in his quota of out-of-staters for the
day, because I sure surprised him with my Wis. license (the
bike had Ill. plates).  Unable to shake me down on the highway,
his next words were "Just sit tight--I'm only going to give
you a warning."

But my question is about radar.  The cop had it, and had used it
on me (he claimed I slowed right down as he pulled out and followed
me).  Does it not work accurately on bikes?  Anyone else out there
been pulled over for doing impossible velocities?
