I agree. Its one thing to have four wheels and one to go out, but two and one goes... Oy

Ive a few stories, each spectacular but Ill not hog the spotlight.

Ill go with a "theres no way that happened" one that even I still have trouble believing it happened but it did.

I was out riding about on the ZZR. theres a stretch of back road that goes a good 12 mile stretch with only one stoplight from my city to two cities over that links up to a local university. speed limit on the road is 55mph. I had checked out the weather with there only being spot sprinkles so didn't pay it any mind. got to the university to take a peek at some of the new riders training in the University parking lot when I saw a very bright flash and immediately after a loud bang. Bad bad news. close lighting means that not sprinkles but downpours are about to happen. so I closed the face shield on my helmet, started the bike and gently made my way out of the university. soon as I passed the 55 mph limit sign, I punched it at a good 60mph. I peek in through my mirrors and see the cars back already have their headlights on. great. thinking to myself I need to find a spot to pull over and get wet. next thing I know is I pass in front of a speed trap cop car that just clocked a sport biker doing 5 miles over. saw the lights go on, and pretty much gave up the possibility of being dry for the other part of the day. im slowing down, and the cop is now right behind me, and suddenly I hear a voice "GO GO GO GO GO!" I look back to see the wall of water that's engulfed the cop car, which now has his lights off, and the officer frantically flailing about inside the car at me to punch it.

I oblige and hit up the 55mph limit with the cop car right behind me hollering at me ever so bit to keep going, just a bit more. we went fast enough to pull out of the wall of water and make it to a gas station overhang to rest a bit while the rain poured. I shut down the engine, and take off my helmet, as the cop pulls in next to me and gives me a big smile saying to me that he also rides and couldn't find it in him to make me stand in the rain storm. I get no warning or ticket just a heads up to not just look at the weather channel next time but to look at the radar. I told him I appreciate it and yea, still baffles me to this day

actually its not that hard to believe Ive seen rain like that before oh and it wasnt just one tire it was both of em at nearly the same exact time... musta hit something

Recently went on a bike meet/ride day, heard about this meet from some guys at my local bike hang out so though sure why not I'll go for a bash, got to this bike shop called bike biz that was hosting the day out, a guy comes around and starts asking all the riders what there team name and Buber was, not knowing what this was I just made one up on the spot and thought nothing more of it, another rider pulls up on a new custom caman spider was all airbrushed too look like a transformer, was fucking sick, anyway the dude just sat on the canam looking all cool etc etc then the ride host gave us the signal to get suited up and get ready to hit the road, run cards were handed out with check points on them, a little strange for a casual Sunday ride but whatever, jumped on the bike and we headed out through the city all cursing then BAAAAM everyone takes off, like not just riding fast I mean racing! I was like WTF is going on then it clicked this wasn't a ride meet this was a road rally, completely illegal and organized on the sly, so I punched it doing 130 clicks through the city in and out of traffic wanting to be first at the first check point but team r1 as I larder found out there name took off destroying everyone doing 200 easy, 15 mins later I see them on the side of the road with 3 cop cars ......oops with nothing more then the national park in my way I was sitting 7 bikes back so I gave it my all, however lacking the power and talent of the more powerful sports bikes I was unable to get any further then 5th at the first check point shockingly behind the canam which the guy once again just pulled up in the middle of everyone, not getting of the machine, just as I was about to ask him - hey buddy what's up it lazy ?- I over heard one of his mates say - so when are you getting the wheelchair rack for it- my heart sank when I realized this guy that just destroyed me through the bends, this guy that was knocking off sports bikes was actually paralyzed, I could not believe it hahahaha but that was part of a crazy bike day I had.

You should try old school cafe racing very fun and almost like that in a way just no new bikes and they are strictly limited to cafe racers, which actually spawned your bikes like the ninjas and other sport bikes nowadays

I will eventually buy another naked, prolly something like the mt-01 from yamaha or a triple but went with the super bike this time for something different, goes in to get tuned up this sat, check out my updates next weekend when she comes back to play - winks-
