Well, went for a ride today as it is the first nice day in a while..
On my way home i came across a stretch of road that seems to go forever, and there was no cars in sight. At this point I decided to pop the front end of the bike up and ride wheelie. Havent done it in a while, and seems how the road was bare, and i was fully geared, and the road was freshly paved.. perfect.
Well, a little ways into it, a car appeared out in the distance around a corner. At this point, i do what i always do. Drop the front end back down and ride civilized.
Well, that car up there was a cop..
He pulled me over and thanked me for actually stopping. He proceded to pick out some aftermarket parts on my bike and give me a bit of shit for not keeping the front end down. The whole time i remained as polite as i could. After a couple minutes he started joking around a bit, and eventually told me that becasue i was polite, dropped the front right away, and wasnt actually speeding, that i was free to go. No ticket.
Laws around here would have racked up a ton of fines, as well as impound, and driving suspension.
I dont think ill be doing any wheelies any time soon :down:
