My roommate in college had a Norton Interstate that he bought right at
Norton Villiers and had shipped over stateside (he was from Belgium).  One
night he was on his was from Bethlehem PA to Philadelphia and went through
Quakertown at about 85 (a 45 zone) and got seen on radar.  He never saw 
the cop and when he came out of town and hit the 4 lane, he really took 
off (+100).  Anyway, about Chalfont the State Police had a roadblock.  He 
commented to his girlfriend on the back that they must be after a dangerous
criminal.  He was quite surprised when they pulled him off his bike!  
Anyway, they were polite and very professional, after he produced his 
British tourist registration (still Brit tags on the bike), his Belgium
drivers license and international drivers license.  The final result?  
He got a WARNING!!!!!!!!  I couldn't believe it, but he kept that slip
framed for a long time.  This was the fall of '73, before the 55 mph
B*LLSH*T! so attitudes about speeding were quite different.
