It was at the bottom of a hill where the limit is 30 (I didn't see the sign-I definately would not have guessed less than 35)! I was driving (well behind the numerous other cars), and he pointed out that I was going a little more than 50 at the exact spot he got his. Almost unavoidable.
I hope you're challenging the ticket! sounds like entrapment to me! There is a town by me that does the exact same thing... my mom got a ticket there and challenged and won. her argument was that it would have been unsafe for her to slam on the brakes and slow down to 30 from 55 in heavy traffic (and the cop clocked her within 50 ft of the 30mph sign).

Theres a road where i live where it drops from 55 to 25.

Wouldn't you know, cops sometimes sit at the 25 mph sign. If i'm pulled for speeding, think i can just say i was velocitized?

No, if you get pulled over for too much speeding, you will get "Velo"tized, which in other words means you may have to start riding a bicycle because you lost your licence.

Solo Trip to Dragon

Well I was a few weeks late but I made it to the Dragon yesterday. I must say that there was no body on the Dragon. There was only like 10 bikers up there and three cars. A Miata, a Vette and me.
So yes it was like my own personal playground. Here is a link of some of my pictures.

Looks like you had a great time. Very nice. Here is a question though, did that Myata and that SUV pull over when you came up onto them?
