the chp 11-99 gods smiled upon me this morning around 6am, just before the 154 cutoff from 101. Rounded a corner, V1 blasts Ka at me, stand on the brake look down, uh oh, see his brake lights, he flies up the highway, on my tail, 30 seconds later pulls back over...

haha, me too. I was out for a little pre-fest cruise and I saw that guy! I don't think it's fair that the cops were JUST pulling over BMWs that were doing 75ish. They wern't even pulling over the regular cars that were doing over 80...wtf???

11-99 costs like $1900 for a lifetime membership assuming someone sponsors you.

It's $1800, you need a clean record (3 years min.) and if you walk into a CHP office, the officer on duty will 'sponsor' you.
