Back in the days before the CHP could use radar, I had the pleasure of finding out how fast their best would go. He wrote the "E" ticket for "147 and pulling away." I assumed that was because that was all the faster his pursuit Mustang would go. He had nearly 20 miles to get it up to speed... (I wasn't "fleeing." Just riding *really* fast. I didn't even know he was there. If I'd been running from him, I would never have found out how fast the pony car would go... The Honda tops out around 155.)
