What happens when your buddies take your bike for a "spin"

Actually just a great pic I found on bubble visor's blog.
 
A few of us were at my place havin' an easy Saturday afternoon bbq. One of my pals went to take a ride on one of the bikes. it had been almost 2 hours of drinkin and shit shootin' before we realized he hadn't been back yet. I should have know that something was up when he finally returned, pulled directly into the garage and quickly closed the door!

I decided to meet my folks at church the next morning. On the way, I got pulled over on that same bike. Apparently, this angry officer and the other two squad cars that showed up had a bone to pick. As luck would have it, my buddy apparently took them on a chase of my town for over an hour! Nothing they could do to me... but that made things tough for me in that town for years after!!!

He could've just told me...
 
Full article on this build on Hell for Leather. Reallt cool SR500 build. Can't remember the shop name but looks like a really clean simple build.

Cheers,
 
NICE! I used to jump my Buell every day. Their was a nice set of RR Tracks that it you hit in the right spot you could jump really far. No where as high as the picture above.
 
i had a 78 honda hawk 400... i used to take it off jumps & lay it down, bust blinkers, bend the shifter... put some yellow electrical tape around the bulb, kick the shifter back into place & off i go... ahhh, to be 18 & not give a fuck about anything.
 
I'm pretty sure that's a Portland bike. See See Motorcycles.

It will supposedly be at the bike show in N. Portland on the Fifth.

There will be at least a few of us then. If I get the chance, I'll buy you one of those uber-classy $1 PBRs.
 
Haha, the hell with PBR! I'll post you over a bottle of Boingk's finest.

On mates riding bikes... they might have to ride mine now - I recently lost my licence.

The XR600R is my commuting tool and I had a bad morning. Couple that with being late for work and I'm heading around a corner leant over on the knobblies, pushing 50 and accelerating like mad. Give the nod to a fellow going the other way and wondered why he was looking behind me, and didn't nod back. Looked in my rear-view and saw a big car that had a dash going ballistic with red & blue.

Pulled over, copped $1000 in fines and lost my licence effective as of February. Damn.

Holy crap Boingk. What the hell did he bust you for? That sounds a little excessive for speeding on knobbies!

And VonYinzer : shame on you. But little do you know I bent that frame before selling it to you!
 
Got done for 'Exceed limit >30km/h' and 'Negligent Driving'. The first one is legit and he actually downgraded it from the next one up, saving me an extra 3 months loss of licence and around $700 in fines. The actual charge for more than 30 over is 3 months loss of licence and $700 fine.

Neg driving was a technical one because I had a slight front wheel lift as I took off from the lights. If I'd known I'd be paying $350 for a wheelie I would've made it a good one hahaha.

We might project an image as a laid back kinda place, but get on the wrong side of the law and you'll know all about it. Our police force are freakin' Nazis.
