+1. Grew up in Fairfax. Got pulled over doing 93 on a gixxer on Rt.66 West. Cop was super pissed because I only had 1 hand on the handle bar at the time and I had a V1 radar detector built into the wind screen which I purchased in MD. Was about to put me in the back seat and impound the bike until I told him who I worked for (a senator). Got to work, told my boss and he referred me to his lawyer. Court date came and I got off the reckless with just a fine. Moral of the story, better have connections if you want to speed in VA.
