Thanks Ociffers.

[nyburner]

The condensed version:

Hopping onto the 5N at PB promptly after last call last night, Druskizee and I get cutoff by some hairy-@$$ dude on a cruiser doing about 100mph on the on-ramp. Being strapping young men w/ egos on sportbikes [yeah, we shoulda known better] we open it up on the freeway and scream past his mark-@$$. The one time I glanced at the gauge the needle showed 140+, which means we were prolly doin 115-130. We're normally safe riders for the most part, so that's actually the fastest I've ever gone on the Triumph. 1/4mile later, low and behold, I see sirens in my bar-end mirrors and the green kawi slowly pulling into the shoulder. $h!t. I pull over and Drooski pulls up behind me and kills his engine w/ the CHP Crown Vic [or Impala or whatever they use in Cali] in tow. Being the considerate friend I am, I urge him to gun it and let me take the fall [for reasons I won't post]. He decides to own up and stays.

We talk to them in a mature and polite manner unbecoming of the sour rep. the general public has of sportriders. They take our IDs to the patrol car. We curse alot. They come back, I explain what why we were speeding. The cop actually agrees, but tells us to slow the hell down and lets us go. Awesome.

Thanks to two very understanding CHPs.

[JC039]

That same Harley dude blazed past me too like 3 weeks ago. He just came outta nowhere and passed me on the fast lane on my left side. Scared the crap outta me and I was doing like 85mph.
He almost lost control after he passed me up and almost crashed....moron.

[Punani]

cop cars are cool.... but the police bikers... can suck on there own d!ck....i hope all of them dies

[Remus6]

Cool man, nice to see you get out of that one. (Side note: I don't condone speeding)

[Cyanide41]

Lucky Bastards! They would have hauled me off to jail, no matter how much ass kissing I did

brilliant :rolleyes:

If a friend encouraged me to evade arrest, I'd look for new friends...but hey...that's just me. I'm not going to pretend that my crap doesn't stink, but I thought this site was about safety where stories like these are better received on other forums.

[Punani]

there are reckless people around here and everyone presume its me and YES i am.......i'll run all the time...forget safety... every person for themself

[Akino]

good story to share bro, just remember next time probably won't be the same ... hope a lesson is learned. BTW ur title ... did u mean "Officers"?? :doh:

[nyburner]

Ha. Akino, "ociffers" was from a Jim Bruer [ala the movie "Half-Baked"] stand up. Pretty funny if you knew the context.

Punani, I believe the "officers" let us off easy 'cause we actually decided to pull over instead of running [which I gather happens frequently, and its quite easy to do on a bike]. My NYC Lt. buddy once told me, "Cops don't like to be humbled by teenagers on crotch rockets." There are circumstances involved that I could not mention in this antecdote. Try not to run from the cops man, there's a million things that could go horribly wrong.

Termin8r, the guys I ride w/ and I always stay reasonably close to the speed limit when we ride. Its just when a wide-@$$ cruiser passes you in your own lane at a 100mph on a curving on ramp, its easy to feel threatened and act on impluse. Don't hate.

Thanks again to those two cops. You rule.

[Termin8r]

Not hatin'. Just making sure you're aware what HC is about.

[Punani]

i love you richard.... YOUR THE BEST.

[MadDog619]

:) LUCKY....GOSH. :thumbsup:

+1, though I did have a police biker let me off the hook once, and never have I had a standard CHP cruiser let me off. But hey, at least they don't accuse me of "giving us a bad name"

(Side note: I don't condone speeding)
I condone safe speeding :thumbsup:

there are reckless people around here and everyone presume its me and YES i am.......i'll run all the time...forget safety... every person for themself
If we're gonna talk about people presuming someone around here's recklesss, then shiiiiit you ain't got nothing on me. You should see the flaming I got for telling them about my "friend" who ran from the cops. http://www.hypercycles.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2938

Much love to ya Richard. And much respect, too (my parents taught me to respect my elders :bowdown: ) However, I gotta say, we're not all as wealthy as you and so I'm not in any way condoning running away, but just trying to explain a viewpoint that for a starving student, a few hundred bucks goes along way :squid:

You guys are missing the point. I understand that people do what they do based on reasons they believe in. I am no where near being an angel, myself, where I do not judge others for their actions (I leave that up to the Big Guy above). However, since this forum was started under the premise of safe riding and the concern for others who ride, posts that deviate from this believe should be subject to criticism (except Donald since he's one-half of an idiot savante). This is why I'm on this forum almost exclusively.

So share those viewpoints with me at a bike night, barbecue, or even a track day, but those types of posts that can influence younger newer riders worry me.

[druskizee]

he wanted to bounce cuz i don't have insurance. cuz i'm poor. and i probably could've gotten away with it too. but i didn't. cuz i got mouthpiece. trust that.

[remusR6]

Than again,let's not forget that we have plenty of cops and CHP officers reading these posts.I'll be more carefull what I write.Its not their fault we loose our cool, at times,or show off, or our cohones are getting bigger than our gas tank.
Just when you need a cop/CHP, you wish you can find one.They're doing their job,just like everyones else.Just use common sense....I only had good experience with cops/CHP here.YOU CAN ONLY WISH every cop/CHP officers in other countries, were only as half as good,and polite as cops here!

The LAW may suck..but officers here are doing their best, under the circumstances!

[teamgreenzx7r]

That was nice of them but you guys sure got lucky.. :thumbsup:

[wanderer]

so basically what you're telling everyone is you have complete disregard for everyone else unfortunate enough to be around you on your bike?

if you can afford a bike, you can afford insurance, so you're not poor. whether or not you can afford THAT bike is obviously another problem

you are an ass for riding without insurance

[druskizee]

i am getting insurance just haven't yet. so fuk u. hows that? *****.

[MatrixChick04]

cop cars are cool.... but the police bikers... can suck on there own d!ck....i hope all of them dies dude, one our memebers is becoming a CHP officer right now. everyone just needs to take in concideration that you are that officer may have had a bad day or a bad experience with another bike.....thats why they act like an @ss to you.there are reckless people around here and everyone presume its me and YES i am.......i'll run all the time...forget safety... every person for themselfif you say you act like that then why are you mad with the cops when you contribute to the reason why cops hate bikers.No wonder the community has a bad veiw of sport bikes.
So share those viewpoints with me at a bike night, barbecue, or even a track day, but those types of posts that can influence younger newer riders it worries me. i would have to agree with him about the safty factor plus the experienced ride should be the mentors of the new riders. we should always support each other and help each other when in need.

[wanderer]

i am getting insurance just haven't yet. so fuk u. hows that? *****.

wow, you're a tough guy aren't ya?

get insurance first, THEN look me up

[MatrixChick04]

you are an ass for riding without insurance
+1
i am getting insurance just haven't yet. so fuk u. hows that? *****.why didn't you have insurance when you first got the bike? no need to say Sh!t like that when its true that you don't care for anyone who rides with you, if you hit them, after all i am sure your friends don't want to bring you down in mass debt when you end up take one of them out. then who will look like and @ss.

[druskizee]

dance... damn ur cool. i'm merely responding to you callin me an ass for riding without insurance when u don't even know the deal... don't get ur panties in a twist... and sorry i don't know where to find u? that line might've come off as cool had I really known where to find you.

[druskizee]

u can say all u want.. bottom line is.. u don't know **** about my financial situation... nor do you know if I was planning to get insurance or not. and i really don't give a **** about your morals and ethics that say that I should keep my bike in the garage until i have insurance when in a week i was going to be covered anyways.

[druskizee]

oh good job editing your post by the way... guess u realized that it wasn't that cool sounding.

[wanderer]

ya, you're right. see, the really sad thing here is you just don't get it. having insurance NEXT week does you or ANYBODY else involved in an incident any good at that time. believe me little brother, you think you're broke now? how would you like a nice lawsuit for being in an accident with someone. and how bout those medical bills if you were unfortunate enuf to be seriously injured?

keep trying to justify it and rationalize it to us please, maybe we will begin to understand

[MatrixChick04]

u can say all u want.. bottom line is.. u don't know **** about my financial situation... all i know is everyone has their money problems. **** my hole is so far down i don't think i could ever get out..... i will die before i could do that. but you should have more priority to get insurance for your own safety and for the people that really do care for you.

[druskizee]

sigh. this is really retarded. I AM getting insurance. i will be covered by next week. AS far as your guys' INCREDIBLE concern for my friends and those I ride with, rest easy... the world is not over for they are aware of my lack of insurance and have no qualms about riding with me until I get insured. i'm aware of how ****ed I can be or how ****ed I can **** my friends up, but if you're going to call me an ass for riding because i want to ride and don't feel like waiting a week then, so be it, i'm an ass... and you're a biatch because you like to make little smart ass comments to people you don't know or know about.

[wanderer]

you're hilarious kid, we'll meet soon enuf

[druskizee]

aww don't take it personal and hold a grudge now? be prepared for **** talking when u call someone an ass, especially when you don't know them.

[Termin8r]

Just chill guys and take a break (i.e. walk away from the computer).

[druskizee]

now i feel bad. sorry guys. i love you?

[MatrixChick04]

now i feel bad. sorry guys. i love you?i'm sure if anyone of us got hurt we would all still say something for each other.... we all still love each other , but we have different views and thats hard to bypass.

After so many years of running this club, I have come to find that maybe a handful of our better members today used to be lost in their law-breaking ways... some learned the hard way, some learned painfully... but they are here today as positive role-models and are outstanding contributors to our club. They have made many friends and have helped many other riders in need as well.

This club was founded on a few basic principles with which we strongly enforce here on the forums. We do not under any circumstances condone thoughtless actions such as running away from law-enforcement.. the men and women of law-enforcement are here to protect and serve the community and they do a damn good job at it too. Sure there may be a few sour lemons in law-enforcement from time to time.. and that understanding does carry into this club as well that there may be a few sour Hypercycles lemons from time to time as well. We are an understanding bunch up to a point and do encourage those who have been "lost" to find their ways quickly and learn that getting away by doing something stupid is NOT something to be proud of. Rather, please make it a lesson learned and realize your mistakes. Hypercycles encourages its members to help a fellow rider learn from their mistakes and not simply throw them into the fire pits of hell. Everyone deserves a second chance.

I almost feel like standing up and starting a slow-clap. ;)

[nyburner]

Moderator, please kill/lock this thread.
I started the thread for the sole reason to share an amusing story w/ you guys. The first couple posts were what I was expecting, compliments on the story, the sharing of similar antecdotes, and comments about how lucky we were [we were!]. I post on this forum because the guys I ride with check it a regular basis. I like that fact that people here [for the most part] are considerate, knowledgable, and post responsibly. I like that its a focused "community" of riders, not a venue for trolling, tools on two wheels, and being an "internet thug" [flaming, name calling, and so forth] like some other local message boards. Though I'm probly more liberal that most of the riders on this site, I believe you guys are tolerable and open-minded enough to let a guy post an amusing story or two w/out sounding the alarms. We both critize ourselves for what we did after the fact, and I assumed any rational person would have learned their lesson from an experience like this. Thats why the adidtional criticism was a bit unexpected.

Wanderer, if your an older, more mature individual, you'd think one would restrain themselves from making direct insults to someone you've never met. Just because you aren't face to face w/ someone shouldn't mean you can say whatever you wish at someone else's expense. And responding to someone callng you an ass does not make you a squid [going 140+mph kinda does tho, haha my bad, it was 2am/no cars]. He's insured now, so you guys can chill, everybody just relax........you *****es [j/k]

I'm glad that those of you who enjoyed the story, did. Thanks for any positive comments. And for the third time, thanks to those two coppers. Mnah, see? [Dave Chapelle reference].

I'm gonna go ride now.

[cbrsmurf]

I almost feel like standing up and starting a slow-clap. ;)

:clap:

I was wondering why you guys got pulled over. Glad to hear you didn't get a ticket :thumbsup: At that time, there was maybe me and one other car on the freeway lol. But yea bro, be really careful about riding w/o insurance, cuz it is a very expensive fine. Got caught once w/o insurance coming home after a trackday from buymoto to home (1-2 mile trip) and was planning to get insurance the next day too... $350 fine!!

[badiozam]

For quite some time, I had no insurance on my car, and I was super-careful and not speeding. I got a ticket for a "california roll" through a red light and I got a $1,200.00 fine for not having insurance.

Now before you judge, let me say that it's impossible to get around in SoCal without a car. And yes, you can be poor enough to be able to afford a P.O.S. used car, but not be able to make the monthly insurance payments. And yes, I realize I was endangering other drivers on the road, and it was risky. If I had a choice, I'd choose not getting insurance only over food, shelter and fuel (my apologies to those drivers-on-the-road who had no choice but to endure the risk I put them through).

I also know there are a LOT of people with insurance who drink and drive, and I don't care how covered you are, you can't bring someone back to life or heal their spinal chord. So please be aware that's a risk we all take when we get on the road on weekends, keep your eyes out for those crazies :shifty:

Of course, now that I'm older, I not only make more money but my insurance rate is lower. Like being 26 makes you a safer driver (well statistically it does). I think if you're a rider, it should lower your insurance rate cuz you're more aware.

[LiCk My CbR]

this is probably besides the point but.................i farted and it smells really bad.
ride safe guys! dont let others get the best of you. you are your own rider and..........does anyone have some good air freshener?lol.

Ha. Akino, "ociffers" was from a Jim Bruer [ala the movie "Half-Baked"] stand up. Pretty funny if you knew the context.

burner .. that was my second thought! :lol:

[Punani]

does that mean im out??? haha....don't get me wrong im still debating on becoming an officer too, so i can give all of you a ticket, beside some of you guys assume too many thing....beside..... you have to look at the whole point of this forum, to ride and learn new things.

and richard i still love you man... i miss riding again...remember me!! don aka squid for life.

[Termin8r]

While I don't share the same exact sentiments Don, you're okay in my book. When you're ready, let's ride again.
