Wyoming SP Lives Up To It's Rep:
Biker "ticket" bloodbath!
Running out of yellow forms?
Could be. Rt 85 runs south from Wyoming I-90 thru New Castle, and on south. It's the favored route for bikers returning home from Sturgis to Denver, all the way to San Diego. Beautiful riding, canyons, bluffs, antelope by the hundreds. It's also a 65mph zone, and after blasting down I-90 at 85 (the locals preferred speed), it's almost impossible for any bike, especially the newer six speed Harley Davidsons to keep to the limit. Wyoming cops know this, and use the opportunity to create a biker bloodbath.
We tried to warn bikers blowing by our 70mph like we were standing still, most to no avail. At least ten of 'em were nailed by the Wyoming SP. Even county mounties got in on the all you can write feast, proving that good guys don't always wear white cowboy hats.
Worst of all?
I got nailed in '09 for ten over, and believe it or not, my fine was $65.00. In dixie, it woulda cost me five times that much. For a state with only 500,000 residents, they sure got a lotta cops!
ps: ABM's soft cat paws have landed in the San Juan mountain range, 1.5 hrs above the 100 degree desert floor, at 8,000 feet, base camp, 70 degrees here, and the rainbow trout are ferocious!
