I got back to Duluth yesterday afternoon and proceeded to install my new 3" downpipe into my NG900. Got it bolted up, and now I have a 1-foot section of my exhaust that I need to fill. So I took the car for a spin with just the downpipe on.
Drove to show it to some buddies, and it felt funny. So while chatting with my buddies I pulled the fuse for the ECU and let it reset. On my way back I did some adaptation runs over the bridge from Superior WI, to Duluth MN. Hit 100+mph a couple times in 3rd while trying to get it to adapt.
Slowed down for some construction, and once I was through the construction 'areas I was heading into the Tunnels. Traffic was light, and I wanted to do one more good pull in 3rd gear before I got home. Plus I was in the tunnels and I wanted to hear the downpipe roar.
Well, I get on it in 3rd, come around the first bend in the tunnel and their is Mr. State Patrol parked on the side. I slam on my brakes and roll past him at ~55mph (50mph zone). He pulls out and pulls me over just outside of the tunnels.
Conversation was like:
"Do you know how fast you were going?"
'I wasn't really paying attention. I was trying to re-adapt my engine control module because my car is running funny'
"Well, I clocked you at 76, I like 74. Do you know the limit?"
'Oh. Yeah, it's 55'
"Actually it's 50. Did you know your tabs are expired?"
'Are they?!? I didn't know.'
"Yes, they expired in July."
My license still has my parents address on it, and he asked me if I still lived there (in Dassel). I said no, I moved to Duluth for school.
He went back to his car, then came back and gave me a Ticket for 74 in a 50 ($222 fine), and a warning for my expired tabs.
I'm going to talk to the prosecutor in a week or so, and see if I can't get the ticket changed to expired tabs and a warning for the speed.
I really need to invest in a radar detector and scanner. This will be Ticket #10
