I protested that I wasn't even in the roadway itself and was 4' from the lane of traffic.
He responded that it doesn't matter.
I acknowledge that technically he is right, but I thought a little more discretion should have been used on his part as I wasn't endangering anyone.
Funny part was as he was writing me up, someone drives by and yells, "Oh come on.....get real!"
Yeah...I got the same "It doesn't matter," too.

Sure, yet my officer's bike has one of those big engines on it that makes it go much faster than I do.
