So my girl and I took the bikes out for a ride yesterday, we were pulling out of her neighbor hood and I had a clear stretch of road so I pulled her up into a wheelie and just as I set it down a cop on a motorcycle pulled out from behind some trees with his lights on! [:@] He was cool about it and let me off with an "Unreasonable acceleration" ticket. It could have been Careless and he could have hauled my a$$ to jail for doing over 100mph so I'm happy about that but now my clean record is in danger. Hopefully I can get a 6 month continuance for dismissal. I probably should have waited till we got farther out into the sticks but I just had the urge to do it.

 

well, that sux, i hope the ticket dont cost to much...what kinda bike do you have?

 

that sucks but you felt the need for speed hope you can beat the ticket

 

$120...same as a speed 1-10 over so not too bad. I'm sure I can get it reduced or dismised since my record is clean...lol....they always have before

2005 YZF R1 have pics in my album...

 

hahahahahaha...I feel ya man...the only thing keeping me from getting tickets like that when i go riding with my buddies is the fact that im a puss and dont like to wheelies/endos.
Speeding is another thing.......160HP....6 gears....360lbs of bike...i mean C'MON!!!! you have to right?!

 

I was under the impression that bikers rarely get pulled over.

 

LOL...The cop actually asked me why I did it...I'm like it's a sport bike, they're made to go fast and when you have that much power it's tough not to use it. He was really cool and I was honest and said I know it was dumb but I get stressed out from time to time and the bike seems to help me out [8D]

Had he been in a car and I had been riding by myself I would most likely have dipped "not a good idea I know" but when I'm in an area I know and I'm already looking at a loss of license for 6 months I would rather take the risk. Being my girl was with me I didn't want her to get pulled over and questioned....which if I had dipped is exactly what he would have done.

I'm not saying its okay to run from 5.0 anytime but if I did it's my choice and my life.

"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...Holy ****...what a ride!"

 

Amen...

 

i need to slow down, on my way to school i used to take the highway and do atleat 120-140km/h, but now im taking just a 80km/h road to work and im so used to driving on the highway that i do about 120 on it..when i go slower it seems like im craling[:'(]

 

Dude, your girlfriend rides a gixxer?! Thats awesome!


Sucks about the ticket, but, i suppose it could have been worse
