My first really high speed ticket was back when the national limit was 55, and I was on a track prepped but street legal KZ-900.
The CHP that pulled me over thanked me for slowing down since he wasn't able to get too close after I went by his hide out at 6 AM on a Sunday with zero cars on an isolated stretch of freeway up in the hills.
He was actually very talkative and asked me what mods I had made on the bike so we talked for a few and he did me a big favor giving me a ticket for only 90 in a 55 when I was radared at 142. Since this was over double the posted he could of hauled me and the bike away, but he didn't.
