Got stopped by the police ...
...for blasting through a stop sign on my 10-speed beater bike. :)
It's a habit of mine to have a quick, thorough look around me in all directions (including behind) before doing that, both to look for regular cars, AND police cars, but it was dark and the headlights obscured the fact it was the law. No ticket or anything. Just a very informal scolding. (Oh, and before you go thinking I'm a reckless fool, the intersection I blasted through was a "T" intersection, and I was on the top of the T going straight, with a clear view of any traffic I would have affected - none.) |
Last week...
Caution: Void where prohibited by law
When I get lost when I travel and have to make a U-turn, I don't do it normally. Basically, I drop it into "1", turn off the Traction Control (if equipped), build up some speed, yank the wheel to the left while ripping up on the e-brake. Then gun it and control the front end while the back end slides around. With practice it works like a charm, except... Last week in Little rock, a local Smokey was parked at a nearby gas station. No lights, just the "get over here" wave. Then the "You're not from around here are ya?" routine. I explained that I was lost and I made a "quick U-turn" to get back on track. Thankfully I was let go and he was nice enough to give me really good directions to where I was going. RH77 "Stunt Driver" |
I wish I knew how to do that, :(, I do impress my friends with my ability to hold a corner but that's nothing compared to "Rick's Quicky."

I don't know about you guys but I keep getting weird looks from other drivers. I don't even floor it and my tires spin and squeal like crazy. I think it's the mentality that hondas don't have torque.

I can rev mine to redline and barely spin my wheels when I dump the clutch. I'd look at you like you had a bumper sticker that said "ram me."

How Odd No Damn Acceleration
:p |
yeah around here they add a stop sign to slow people down at intersections usually because bushes grow there too close to the road or people speed in a 25 zone. So we end up wasting everybodies gas instead
