well i left ft. polk, louisiana today i started my long journey to ft eustis, virginia. i didn't get but an hour from where i started and got pulled over for speeding in woodworth, la,

then about twenty minutes further on down the road i got pulled over again for having loud exhaust.

i finally got to i-20 and its been smooth sailing since, man i love that 700r4, made it to tuscaloosa, alabama around 8:30, where i plan to stay tonight. tomorrow i'm planning to stop somewhere on i-85 around spartanburg, north carolina.
sorry for rambling, i had meant to post my route sooner so as maybe i could run parts for someone(could use a little help w/gas money now that i got to pay that fat ticket)

anyway if you happen to be out on 1-20 or 1-85 tomorrow between tuscaloosa and spartanburg look for mei'll be in my primer gray 68c10 w/ white spoke wagon wheels tooling down the road.

I'll bet it felt good to leave fort swampy huh? Home of the pot hole.
Good luck on your trip and hope you don't have to deal with 'the man' any more.

did you just get a ticket for speeding or for the loud exhaust too? what was your MPH/zone?

sixty8c10 · 02-07-2005, 01:10 AM

both.......66 in 55......it was a 500yd stretch of road where the speed changed from 65 to 55 then back to 65......WTF.....anyway there went the money for the digital camera

68w/sbc406 · 02-07-2005, 01:18 AM

thats crap. 11 over, yeah you should of got pulled over, but most cops around here will just give you a warning for that

sixty8c10 · 02-07-2005, 01:21 AM

Can you say speed trap?

Ohio just killed a village becouse of

like that. New Rome illegally posted 35 MPH speed limit signs and wrote butt loads of tickets all day long for 50 years. The state passed a law last year saying that you have to have 100 residents to become a coperated village or something like that...but basicly Ohio killed the small town and told the police to park there cruisers.
I went and did a burn out in front of the police departments doublewide trailer.

I've already been pulled over 3 times in two days with my new truck. I dont think that the pooolice like it very much. Wait till I redo my exhaust, then the tickets will really come

What a bunch of pricks. If I remember right, your in the service right? What a way to thank a veteran, here's a stinking ticket. You probably have out of state tags, which automatically made you a target.

Ft Polk used to be [i]real[p/i] bad, untill gen funk started throwing his weight around....stopped the cops from being pr!cks.
