There’s one thing that doesn’t excite me about spring: The return of motorcyclists to the roads.

Driving home from work is already a grind, now I have to worry about daredevils weaving in and out of lanes. It just makes me uneasy. It’d make me really uneasy if a guy dusted me at 152 mph:

A Vancouver, Wash., motorcyclist was clocked doing an incredible 152 mph when he blew past a state trooper on a winding, two-lane highway near the Oregon border.

I work with a few guys that ride bikes, and I have to hear about how awesome it was every Monday morning. I have to admit, the love they have for it is pretty tempting, but there are so many ways a bad bike trip can give you a serious case of the Mondays.

Ripping at 152 mph might not necessarily ruin your Monday, but getting pulled over by a police officer after getting clocked at that speed definitely would.

Why wouldn’t you just keep driving?

“I wanted to do the right thing” seems kind of out of the question considering you were going 2.5 times the speed limit.

These are the kinds of questions that I don’t want to answer on a Monday morning — just too much hell to catch, and another reason I stay away from motorcycles.

So if you’re having a hard time this morning, at least you’re not being made fun of for excessively breaking a law with a way to get out of it, and made the decision to pull over. That’s worse than the $411 fine he received, in my opinion.
