I have GPS proof of doing 155 in Nevada on a BMW K1200GT. When he pulled me over the only thing he wanted to see was the motorcycle endorsement on my license. After he saw it we chatted about bikes for about an hour and he wrote me for 5 over.

Right after that I got rid of that bike and now I ride dirt.

Well for that speed ticket. Know where speed control will occur or what we know, where a traffic control installation is...
Or cling to the speed limit. Hence no need for a speedier machine.....
