saw cherries behind me even worse DOT

Well my last trip in the L9000 PetroCare tandem today. so I was doin 115-120 in a 110 highway just west of Moosomin. I was meeting a white Chevy SUV head on so (had a feeling it was the local DOT) I let off, coasted down abit I figured in a 10 zone big deal. so I countinued on but after 4 or 5 miles I was back to 115-120 and yep saw another white Chevy SUV behind me so I slowed once again to below 110 but was I slowed down those pretty lights lit up.

So there I was thinkin of my best excuss for mildly speeding and gathering my paperwork. But you won't believe it when I saw the DOT officer come out of their vehichle it was a girl, not only that a PERFECT 10.
bit older then me though, but pretty polite, checked my load and looked at my paperwork.

On a side note no tickets.

as those officers are assigned to a certain stretch of highway, i'm supposing that we'll hear of more speeding from Ryan in this area... she didn't offer the breathalyzer Ryan??

Good thing, those safety inspection orders are a bit of a pain in the %$#%

I thought you were going to say you got a order to get inspection done.

Did you atleast get her pic LOL

no pic. I have been through 2 big inspections. Got warnings for my brakes mainly but no tickets yet.

My longest brake stroke to date has been 2 and 1/8 inches, getting damn close to a 450 dollar fine but not quite.....

I'm really glad there was no inspection the last time I checked a brake stroke there wasn't snow on the ground back in October I guess.

A $450 dollar fine?
Some body's very hungry, feeding the bears is one thing but $450 is ridiculous!
It`s time to up my Bobcat/trucking rates to $45 a minute, free travel time of course...

That`s going by the Highway Traffic board fine structure, 10 minute inspection=$450+ fine. I doubt we`d get away with that kind of nonsense!
