You say that like there is something wrong with that.
What y'all think about this change of gear to sneak by Barney?

It's not enough camo. You need to get some red duct tape and change the color of the bike, and then change the shape of the headlights so they are round or square...not so alien looking. I think the headlights are the big giveaway. Also, nix the motolights or move them.

I think I like your idea about the donut counter measures better. How many p.s.i. do you think I need to shoot donuts out of my tool tube?

Think the STN way: this situation calls for a new motorcycle to be purchased, pronto.

Agreed: The purchase of a new motorcycle is now required to maintain confidence in the situation.
May I recommend a GTS1000, they are very affordable now--

You need to paint it John Deere Green to match that baler. Then remove the license plate and get an orange triangle.

On the lighter side............
SPEEDING IN TENNESSEE
1) Good :
A Knoxville, TN policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem. A twelve-year-old boy was standing up the road with a hand-painted sign, which read 'RADAR TRAP AHEAD'. The officer then found a young accomplice down the road with a sign reading 'TIPS' . . And a bucket full of money. (And we kids used to just sell lemonade!)
2) Better:
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in Nashville , TN . A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.
3) Absolute Best:
A young woman was pulled over for speeding. As the Tennessee State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, 'I bet you're going to sell me a ticket to the State Troopers Ball.' He replied 'Tennessee State Troopers don't have balls.' There was a moment of silence while she smiled, and he realized what he'd just said. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left. She was laughing too hard to start her car.

Update on the August Ticket:
I went to court this morning and agreed to go to Defensive Driving School and pay the court costs to have the speeding and reckless driving ticket dismissed. I really didn't want to push my luck by having a hearing /reunion with Officer Grouchy Pants. I'm back to commuting on my old route and would rather not stir anything back up with the PO-lice.

"I really didn't want to push my luck by having a hearing /reunion with Officer Grouchy Pants"
Cant argue with that for a second
"Defensive Driving School and pay the court costs"
Sounds like a decent resolution.
Now just keep clear of said officer for a long enough for him to cool down
