Is there an age or height restriction? I'd probably fail on both counts.

I KNOW that my bike is faster. (211.5 mph, as indicated by GPS)
The Trooper bike is limited at 186, like all Hayabusas built after the spring of 2000. (after most of the people that bought the first run of Busas killed themselves)

I don't want their bike, just the passage to speed heaven.

Chip, I see a business opportunity for you here. You can contract your services to go to OHP and instruct them on how to extract the most from their bike, performance-wise and riding-wise.

C'mon, you can do it. Just write them a proposal.

You could sign up for training, good idea.
How about offering your services in the capacity as the "rabbit", that they simply have to try and catch you. This will hone there riding skills as you leave them in the dust. Their egos would insist on the persuit and you would have a wild day ride with no tickets or citations
