so i am driving home from work i pass a car no big deal so this car is riding me close so i start to make a little space between us i come around a couple s turns and meet a NH state pooper. i am like oh shit it is a 35 i roll off look down 5? i am like shit mirror check he passes me no light no brakes look up look back at mirror and blues i roll right off at this piont i am out of sight first thing i think is i could so get away i could so hit second gear and head to a safe spot no problem i go up the road like 1/2 mile through some twists and i am out of his sights all this time... so i do it i decide to pull over what a dip shit!!!! i pull over turn of my bike put the stand down get off remove my helmet and stand there and wait.... about 20 sec later here he comes around a corner(pretty sure i had more than enough time to get away) and he sees me and right on the brakes gets out i start to literally laugh at this 4"11 state trooper. ne wayz he start grilling meu know how fast all that shit about this time he sees the car that i had passed and flags her over. so me cop and car on the side of the road he says you were doing 56 in a 35 here is your $200 ticket ne questions i am like nope. he bitched about my ipod earphones and lets me go he walks to the car as i am getting my helmet back on then he starts to walk away from the car that i passed and was riding my ass when he saw me speeding. i say to him hey are you going to ticket her? he says nope she wasnt going as fast as you so i say to him well i will see you in court sent my ticket in and am awaiting court date. think i have a leg to stand on by saing she was too close to me in a corner and i felt unsafe it is pretty much bull shit we were both hauling ass but what does everyone think?
I have a 06 r6 with -1 +2 and a few weeks ago I decided I would learn how to do wheelies. This is my 3rd bike (ninja 500 and 03 r6 before.)
Right away I started in 1st gear.... just cruise 15 mph and clutch it and after a few days I had started to get familiar and consistently be able to pull it up less than a foot. I was happy with my progress. No crazy stunter 12 oclocks, but I was happy to be able to get the wheel off the ground, especially in 1st gear where everyone whines about it being so touchy. I thought I was doing good, I was ready to try some 2nd gear.
So I graduated to 2nd gear and started by Cruising around 30ish and tried my magic and it is so fucking hard compared to 1st gear. I can feel it trying to come up but i feel like I have to rev it so much harder and that scares me. My 2nd gear "wheelies" are much more inconsistant then my 1st and most of the time the suspension just unloads and I doubt the wheel comes off the ground. Ive tried to rev it a little higher before I drop the clutch but I guess I need some extra balls or something cause 2nd gear revving scares me but 1st gear doesnt...
Ive tried sliding my ass all the way back on my seat and that helps some, but man hearing my bike hit 14k rpm and then letting the clutch fly into engaged position is something that I think will take awhile for me to overcome my fear of.
