Thanks to Storey County Sheriff!!!!

[n10sive]

I have to give a big shout out and a thank you to the Storey County Sheriff doing his duty on Gieger Grade today. Dandelion and I were coming out of Virginia City down Gieger today when we got to the 'usual place' where the sheriffs sit and watch the road. We were not speeding excessively (50-55) in a 45, but he COULD have tagged us if he wanted. Instead, he flipped on his lights, pointed at his radar and waved at us. We slowed a bit more and did 'single speed' all the way down, then all the way back up (no need to hit high speeds today).

I hope this guy reads this board because he could have been an a-hole and gone after all the bikes out enjoying the weather today, but he did not. I thought that was cool. So thanks Deputy! You were a good guy today!

Good to hear it! Always good to see a cop who uses his discretion wisely

There are times that is all that is needed. A Sparks cop did that to me on Rock blvd. I have remembered that for years and I slow down there.
That is unusual for Storey county Sheriffs. Good on him.

Good to hear it.  Not all of us are PIGS.

My neighbor is a Deputy with Storey County. I have talked to him a few times and he seems really cool.  I was in Virginia City yesterday (sunday) and I saw a few bikes with the SSA stickers on them. It sure was a nice day for a ride unfortunatly I was in the car with the wife and kid.
