got real lucky
so this weekend my cousin was in town from utah, i didn't even know he had an R6 (99) and he does trackdays and hits the canyons out there a lot, i'm almost 23 and hes 29. so we had the whole family over and all the women were cooking dinner and i asked him if he wanted to go for a ride. he was dying to try out the 06 so i jumped on my dads VTX 1800 and let him ride my 06.
So we just went down the road a little bit cause we were eating soon and on the way back there were these three cars going slower then shit. we waited for a passing zone that was clear and took all three no problem. so we pull into my sub and pull into the driveway, get off the bikes and a cop pulls in behind us. gets out of the car and is being a complete hardass. asks us if we know why he pulled us over and i reply "it probably had something to do with passing some cars" so he starts giving us the lecture about how we are lucky we didn't die and all this stuff. asks us for our information and goes to the car.
so we are waiting and my whole family is inside and i'm waiting for my mom and whoever else to look out the window and see the cop with us pulled over in the driveway (not that i care because it has no bearing on them, i paid for my bike, trailblazer, and all my insurance, but i just didn't feel like listening to the lectures we would have gotten if they would have known). so the officer gets out of the car and comes back and tells my cousin how much of a pain it would be IF he gave him a ticket because being out of state he would have to wait until monday, go to city hall and pay the ticket so he could get his license back. so he handed us our info back and said "i better not ever catch you doing anything stupid again or you won't get another break" i just about shit myself.
we were prolly doin 80 or 90 to pass the cars but that was just so we did it quick then we slowed back down to speed, didn't have a clue where the cop was. so we go inside and nobody has a clue what just happened. we both look at each other with a big grin, grab a beer and go out and finish cooking the ribs. i guess being the good rider i am pays off sometimes, i never stunt, hardly ever speed, and try to be as responsible as possible. stay safe out there guys and hopefully you all catch some luck as well along the way.
