Default Pulled by the police

The first day I had my noooo bike I went for a spin.
Onto the Motorway (M8 in Glasgow), heading south cos it is much quieter, after all no one really wants to leave Scotland anyway..

Anyway, I digress, battering down the motorway at about 60mph getting the feel for the bike (grinning).. I decided to open her up a bit more, up to 70mph (bigger grin)..

A wee bit more.. 80mph (helmet splitting grin). Ah nuts a teeny bit more.. after all the motorway was clear.. 95mph (now giggling like a demented child)..

When LO!

Did I spot the fuzz in my rear view mirror, I tried to outrun him for a few miles and decided to give up after all this is a cruiser and not a sportster, ahhh PANTS! cut my losses and pull over (hoping it was a nice lady police person), and the biggest, ugliest, angriest, looking copper comes over to me and says, in a very polite repose,

"Going a little bit quick weren't you sir!?!"

"Er.. yes officer, sorry officer" I offered..

"Well then, being as it is the end of my shift and I am in an exceptionally good mood, if you can give me a good enough reason, then I'll let you go" challenged the Policeman.

"Well actually officer" says I, with fear and trepidation, "my wife ran off with a Policeman about 6 months ago, and I thought you were trying to return her!"

No ticket was issued!
