On Good Friday I had the day off and great weather, so I head to one of my favorite trails - an open road with no traffice, nearly 2 hours from Austin, and even 20 miles from Fredericksburg......... and I top a hill and a state highway patrol is waiting for me.
He pulls me over on the only paved driveway in the region, so thankfully he planned ahead and I was able to actually pull over.
I asked what possessed him to waste a day waiting to catch one biker, and he admitted "Somebody called to complain about the motorcycles."
I was infuriated !!! One blue-haired whiner gets their own private task force, and I get caught for breaking an artificially low 55 mph speed limit. I turned around and he was still there when I came back. Thankfully my speedo worked for the first time on that leg of the trip.
It just ain't right........the only thing funny about it was the cop was named Bacon. Officer Bacon....
