worst ticket i ever got was on a yamaha r6 i used to have. if anyone knows where the long beach airport is in long beach, california, theres a nice tunnel in between 2 main streets, and 2 on ramps to a freeway right after the tunnel. well i cut the lanes in about 2nd gear and timed it so i cut it right into a green light. well right after hitting the crosswalk i tucked and opened that puppy up. SCREAMIN all the way thru the tunnel. i had a yoshimura full pipe so i couldnt hear anything but the wind and my motor. 80..90..100..110..120..130..passed the onramps and hit the light at the other side....
well i didnt know, but apparently a cop had light me up right as i passed the intersection before the tunnel... i would have known this but i was in full tuck so i couldnt see in my mirrors.. this cop hops out of the car with his gun out yelling "GET OFF THAT BIKE TAKE THE KEY OUT TAKE THAT DAMN HELMET OFF SIT ON THE CURB NOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!"
im like oh snap aight no problem officer... hes yellin "YOU GOT A DEATH WISH SON, YOU COULDA KILLED YOURSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE!! HOW FAST WERE YOU GOING?!?!?"
lol i said "i dunno a hundred? i have a bigger sprocket so my speedo is off..."
he instantly said "******** I WAS DOING A HUNDRED AND YOU WERE STILL PULLING ON ME!!! YOUR LUCKY I DIDNT THINK YOU WERE TRYING TO EVADE ME!!!" cuz of the onramps right there...
speed limit on that particular road is 45.. he told me he could have impounded my bike took my license and gave me a whole slew of other fines... i lucked out completely because i guess he got another call, and just wrote me up for a regular speeding ticket.... **** still ended up about 450 bucks because i had got a red light ticket and some other bs ticket in about a 4 or 5 month period... this was the last one and it was a big penny.
i dont know if you guys ever rode sport bikes, but god damn those things are fun
