Default Desmo spotted on the Harley last Thur?

I was riding back from Columbia and passed a trooper on their bike (at/near the 70 mph speed limit), but couldn't tell if it was you. If it wasn't you, hopefully you were out enjoying the roads and wind on yours!

You should have flipped him off and floored it. No way that Harley could keep up

Nah, I don't need his friends waiting for me at my house again. I've learned a lesson and made sure to get my speedohealer dialed in too. I knew I was going right around 70-72 as I was passing him (or whoever the trooper was).

He's the only one that regularly patrols around here.

There are only two troopers on motorcycles in the Troop F area (Cooper, Howard, Boone, Audrain, Callaway, Montgomery, Morgan, Moniteau, Cole, Gasconade, Osage, Miller, Camden), and only eight state-wide. If you saw one on US 63, it was probably me.

About a minute after I went by you, you pulled a vehicle over somewhere right around Ashland. You are right, it is hard to tell those bikes are a trooper's bike until you're literally right up on it and see that tiny little "STATE TROOPER" sticker. I'll wave next time. Not flip you off and accelerate like someone suggested...

If you saw a bag of donuts hanging from the handlebars then it was Dave.

Default Desmo's old bike

I found Desmo's previous issued equipment. The aftermarket bars are a dead give away.
