Speed Traps
Posted: Sun Feb 01, 2004 2:05 pmA man decided that he was going to ride a 10-speed bike
from Phoenix to Flagstaff. He got as far as Black Canyon City
before the mountains just became too much
and he could go no farther. He stuck his thumb out, but
after 3 hours hadn't gotten a single person to stop.
Finally, a guy in a Corvette pulled over and offered
him a ride. Of course, the bike wouldn't fit in the
car. The owner of the Corvette found a piece of rope
lying by the highway and tied it to his bumper.
He tied the other end to the bike and told the man that
if he was going too fast, to honk the horn on his bike
and that he would slow down.
Everything went fine for the first 30 miles.
Suddenly, another Corvette blew past them. Not to be
outdone, the Corvette pulling the bike took off after
the other. A short distance down the road, the
Corvettes, both going well over 120 mph, blew through a
speed trap.
The police officer noted the speeds from his radar gun
and radioed to the other officer that he had two
Corvettes headed his way at over 120 mph. He then
relayed, "...and you're not going to believe this,
there is a guy on a bike honking his horn trying to
pass....
