So, I was out on the bike in my avatar and as I was coming through my neighborhood on my way home realized I had yet to pull a wheelie today, so I took a good look around (looking for pedestrians/oncoming traffic/Cops) and when I sensed the coast was clear pull a nice clean wheelie from around 4k rpm in first and ran it to around 10k rpm where the power falls off. Problem is at around 7500 rpm lights and sirens started up behind me.
I looked back in time to see a local whip around my buddy and show up on my bumper, I pulled in the first parking lot I saw and quickly took off my helmet and jacket. as the cop gets out of the cruiser he says, "How we doing today?" to which I respond, "Well I'm having some problems making poor decisions, but other than that its a pretty good day." Now that he has covered the distance between us he chuckles and says, "Yeah, well, at this time I placing you under arrest for reckless driving. You have the right to remain silent...." :sorry: After putting me in the cruiser and looking up my clean driving record I talk him to down Negligent instead of reckless because there wasnt anyone close enough for me to hit/harm. I'm really not too mad about the ticket, I deserved it and I know better, but shelling out $550 bucks hurts. The part that really sucks is I drive for a living, and because Negligent is such a serious offense in Washington if I get another moving violation in the next 362 days I lose my job. Owning a motorcycle and riding the way I do means there is a serious chance I will lose my job. :huh:
