My luck is bound to run out at some point.......In the past few years I have been pulled by South Carolina's finest 5 times  .....Yep FIVE. On New Years Day I was was stopped on the Valk and SERIOUSLY ROUGHED TALKED by the Trooper...  And Again today a stern word or two.  Don't know how I have done it but to date no fines...All warnings. I always tell them up front I'm a CWP holder and they usually just ask where it is.....Cept for the rough talker......He took it until he was thru spewing his piss and vinegar my way..... I'm just gonna keep my fingers in the overlapped position and hope for the best.....  Luck has a way of running out.....

Rough talk beats a polite performance award (ticket)..... every time. Last time I had a 19yo State trooper yelling at me, I had to bite my tongue from saying yes dad, instead yes officer. Warnings are a thing of the past in my surrounding counties; they're always polite and you always get a ticket. Maybe the only good thing about higher populations and traffic is, there's almost always a guy in a beemer cage running 20 over or more you can use as a radar/lidar blocker running about 1/4 mile behind him.  |

do you know what the guitar is called he plays? and who made it?
In 1985, Junior invented his own guitar, one that combines the standard 6-string guitar and the steel guitar. He calls it the "guit-steel." I was playing both the steel and guitar, switching back and forth a lot while I sang, and it was kind of awkward. But then I had this dream where they just kind of melted together. When I woke up, I thought 'You know, that thing would work!' They made double-neck guitars and double-neck steels,so why not one of each? A call was made to guitar maker Michael Stevens, whose expertise made the dream a reality, and around 1985 the guit-steel was born. Last year Junior once again enlisted the services of Stevens to make a second guit-steel, a cherry-red axe affectionately nicknamed "Big Red." When performing, Junior plays the guitar by standing behind it, while it rests on a small podium/music stand. The top neck on the guit-steel is a traditional 6-string guitar, while the lower neck is a full-size lap steel guitar for slide playing. Brown has two guit-steels for recording and live work. The original instrument, dubbed "Old Yeller", has as its standard 6-string guitar portion the neck and pickups from Brown's previous stage guitar, a Fender Bullet. The second guit-steel, named "Big Red", has a neck laser-copied from the Bullet neck, but in addition to electric guitar pickups, both the standard and lap-steel necks use an identical Sho-Bud lap-steel pickup. There is a pocket in the upper bout of the guitar to hold the slide bar when it is not in use. |

Detn8er How do you get off with warnings! I have never had that luck. If I get pulled over, there is a ticket coming.  Great guitar on the video.   |

The last warning I got was in Mich. 4000# overweight (damn bridge laws) Was hauling a rolloff box which contained a dozen-ish Very deceased/decomposing dna modified experimental cattle. It took several months to get them profiled into a landfill, so they had spent some quality time in the box. Scale operator came out to do an inspection, and inbetween throwing up he told me to leave and never come back. Sometimes its better to be lucky than good! |

I'd rather haul them frozen (which I do) then haul them decomposing  |

Bad explanation on my part. They passed decomposing on the way to where they were when I was hauling them. Anyone in the mood for funky beef stew??? In my experience its bad when the flies leave... |

We had a semi load of chicken entrails hit a combine and roll dumping the entire semi load on the highway. It was still steaming when we got there. I bet it was 8" deep on the road. Chicken feet, chicken guts, in the trees, on the combine, and 100' down the road.

Back to Mark's original post ...
I found Mark's policy of just sitting there hands folded and just being very polite and respctful has gotten me out of more tickets when on the bike than I can count.
