Funniest reason for being pulled over
Summer, 1968 In the early evening, I was riding my Harley XLCH Sportster back from Rockaway Beach in Queens, NY.
Motorcycle cop on FLH Harley pulls me over on Cross Bay Blvd. which, at that time, was a great , albiet illegal, dragstrip for all the gearheads.
I was speeding so I figured it was ticket time. Turned out the cop wanted to check out the bike, which I had mildly chopperized. Then he asked if he could take it for a spin while I babysat his machine.
No problem, says I and off he goes. Fifteen minutes later he returns, loves my ride, we shake hands and my points don't suffer.
Wish I still had that bike today.
