Former '04 FZ6 Rider
Couple interesting things in the last few days...
1. I quit my job after 7 years with the company.
2. I got pulled over for the first time on a motorcycle. Can you guess what it was for? I was on state route 1 (PCH / HWY 1).
In the end he wrote me up for 1 instance of passing on the double-yellow. He also wrote up my friend....we were 60 miles into a four day dual-sport trip.
Anyway, just wanted to get this stuff off my chest. :thumbup: Comments on anything and scolding for the ticket are welcome.
1. I quit my job after 7 years with the company.
- My last day is the 8th. I'm going to take some time to work on my house, do some things for my Mother that she needs, and make my pregnant wife's life easier for a while (she is still working so I'll make her lunch every day etc.).
- I'm also going to make exploring my options my full-time job until I decide what is next.
- Oh yeah, I'll do a little riding too.
2. I got pulled over for the first time on a motorcycle. Can you guess what it was for? I was on state route 1 (PCH / HWY 1).
- Yes, you guessed it: passing on the double-yellow. CHP claims to have witnessed it three times.
- Told me I was speeding also (it took him several miles of foot to the floor in the straights to catch up to me...and he caught up at a stop sign (just south of Jenner, CA)). I told him I was not speeding but that I was doing 55 mph in a 55 and just NOT slowing down much for the turns (hell, I was fully loaded w/ camping gear and on knobby tires). He insisted I was speeding and that "he can keep up with a bike in his cruiser" [paraphrased] so I dropped the issue.
- He also told me my license plate is illegally mounted (sideways from the KTM factory).
In the end he wrote me up for 1 instance of passing on the double-yellow. He also wrote up my friend....we were 60 miles into a four day dual-sport trip.
