Reckless Driving: Reckless Driving Ticket , 2 Excessive Speed Tickets. Advice

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: New Mexico

Hi everyone I recently was ticketed a reckless driving ticket and 2 excessive speed tickets for going 65 on a 35. Long story short guy was tail gating me I sped up to flea from this guy and changed lanes quickly I was on a motorcycle by the way. Officer arrested me right then and there but let me go with 3 citations with court dates these being reckless driving and 2 tickets for excessive speed. Ive had 1 other speed ticket before for going 11 over . I tried to explain to the officer that the only reason I sped up and changed lanes between cars was to avoid this tail gater for my own safety this all occurred during the night time. Officer told me the reasonable thing was to call them and to slow down or pull over. I explained to him that its kind of hard to make a phone call while driving a motorcycle and pulling over was not an option as this road is poorly lit and any oncoming traffic could possibly hit me being motorcycles are poorly lit to begin with ,for my own safety I sped up away from the traffic . Being a motorcyclist I don't tend to like to be with cars next to me or especially tail gaters so I usually speed up away from traffic. If I remember correctly my drivers hand book recommends speeding away from traffic or slowing down when there are cars next to you to avoid being hit by a drivers blind spot or careless drivers. I was fully aware of what I was doing and im guessing the officer did not see how dangerous it is to drive a motorcycle at night espescially at night on a poor lit road and on top of that I had a tail gater just on me even at the speeds I was going . On top of already being frightened by being pulled over i had a very rude officer i had no to little very chance to talk to him i was immediately cuffed. Any advice or what i should expect at court would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much.
