new chip, got lucky

I just couldn't help myself. I'm tryin' to be good and all drivin' aroun town with stock tunes cuz I don;t have a pyro yet but this morning I pull up to the light next to this desert truck and I know he's gonna gas it. Whats a self respecting guy sposed to do....click..click goes the selector **** to the heavy tow tune.....light turns green little desert truck tries hard then gets smaller and smokier in the rearview.......then I see 'em.....2 motorcycle officers at the crest of the hill. one's pointing the radar at me the other is getting ready to go get another speeder....me! So I let up and slide over to the curb even before he's got me lit up and shut 'er down. I know whats coming no sense denying it. He walks up, we exchange pleasantries I say yes sir several times....he says I was doin' 72 in a 55 license and registration you know the drill. He walks away and starts writing. right about then the little desert truck rolls by prob'ly laughin' his as soff then my new friend comes back and hands me..........get this.............. A WARNING! not a ticket but a written warning. Tells me that maybe I should get my speedo recalibrated to the bigger tires and sends me on my merry way telling me to be more careful. so I'm thinking right now.you know what.......He's right be careful out on the streets guys with your mods. I read on here "good judgement comes from experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgement."I hope somebody learns from my mistake.
