Good thing you weren't on a liter class sport bike, you'd be going in excess of 100 MPH in first and 125+ MPH at the redline in second...

Well of course one must go faster than the car one is chasing in order to catch up, especially if he was stopped when I passed him. It's basic logic!

No proof of speed (since I wasn't really speeding) = no ticket
They should teach basic math and physics at the NH Police Academy so that stuff like this does not happen. From what I've heard, the main focus there is on military-style obedience and general humiliation.
