Hometown police officer dies in motorcycle crash

[TRIIICK]

We lost a great police officer today at around 2:00 PM this afternoon. Greg Maloney was a well trained motorcycle cop. He caught me in a speed trap last fall doing 95 on a 60 mph highway. I was going too fast to figure out what was going on. I was hurrying home before the rain was about to start. Little did i know he was on my tail, about 10 miles down the road i saw the blue lights in the distance. I slowed down thinking he was headed to an emergency. He pulled up beside me and told me and motioned me to pull over. He was so fasinated with the Rocket and i couldn't stop telling him about. it. He let me go with a verbal warning after showing him my licence and registration. I had put on my perscription glasses to find the four registrations in my wallet not knowing which one was the Rocket. As i was leaving i forgot that i laid my glasses on the saddle bag. About an hour later i heard a knock at my door it was Greg returning my glasses... What a sad day.This after losing two fire fighters last week in a Boston fire.
Stay safe out there...

Too many cops are all about the badge and the gun, its nice to hear a story of one knowing that there is gray area and identifying that you weren't a threat. RIP Officer Maloney

Not enough of these guys...while driving to work a couple of weeks ago I got pulled over after a pickup (ute to our Aussie friends) blew by me. When he went by I looked down...just a hair over 45 mph...figured I was all good. At the next light I get pinched for 63 in a 45 and the surly S.O.B. Let the pickup pass. WTF? Didn't you see the truck? I asked...what truck? He said. Really? You can see me on a low rider motor (I was on the breakout) but you miss a 3/4 ton pickup that passed me like I was tied to a stump? Just goes to show...some are good...some are bad...**** shame to lose the good ones

Update on bike crash. I know the area really well, there is a large hill with a curve and a heavily used enterance way to a huge development. Two people have be killed there in the past. It wasn't till one of the selectmans wives was killed there that they added a blinking red light. I think he took his eyes off the road for what ever reason,that caused the crash. Every year at the end of winter i always take a long solo ride to get back into the swing of things to sharpen the saw as they say. Stay vigilant out there's a lot of distractions with other drivers to take into consideration.
