Pulled over because I ride a scooter.

Sometimes we all get bored, even cops. Don’t stop reading; I’m not going to bash cops. One of my lunch buddies is a cop.

Some background for this story, I am 6 foot 4, and north of 350, and ride a Yamaha VINO 125, a scooter. I will freely admit that I am the upper limit for this bike, but it is the perfect fulfillment of my needs, but I digress.

I was riding home from work one night minding my own business, doing the speed limit.
I look in my mirror and see the police car that I just passed going the opposite way, slow down and turn around, and start going my direction.
A few minutes later I see blue, blue blue, lights in my mirror, so I pull to the right so he can pass me. He follows me into the right lane, so I figure he wants to talk to me. I pull over, and so dose he. At this point I am wondering why I have been stopped, I think back over the last couple of minutes to see if I have broken any laws, and can think of nothing that I have done.

I turn off the engine and am removing my helmet as he walks up. He politely asks me to get the bike, which I do.
When asked why he has stopped me, he replies “I just wanted to see if you really were as big as you looked. I’ve never seen anyone of your size on something so small before.”
I laughed and we spoke about scooters, what mileage I got, how fast it would go, what was my range per tank, and so forth.

I thanked him for supplying me with a funny story, and went home.
