  2. Doubt: Group ride - Cop scenario

    in Daily Ride

    Posted

    What if the cop follows the guy to meet back up? Then he might try to push eluding onto those who didnt stop. I personally would stop but thats just me.

    That won't fly in court. If he wanted the guys that didn't stop to pull over he'd have to pass up the tail rider to pull them over. When your driving down the free way and the guy next to you gets pulled over are you going to stop also? What's the difference on the bike?

    My 01 rc51 feels like riding a board especially under hard acceleration. I had the fork seals replaced thinking that was part of the problem (due to never being replaced prior). The bike just doesn't feel like its that stable. Just hitting small bumps on the road makes the bike feel like its getting airborne. Does anyone know of any tips for setting up the suspension on an rc51? I don't want to buy new forks or rear because I don't wanna drop the $$$ for a beat up street bike to have an ohlins setup.

    I am in AZ. I moved down here in August for work. When I was in Ohio I've seen copperheads and water moacasins (how ever its spelled). A friend of mine in Delaware county had tore down a barn and let it sit a couple of years as he was selling of the lumber from it. Him and his son were clearing out some of the wood and when they lifted a piece there were two rattlesnakes under it about a foot long. So they are back home too just there's a lot more out here.

    Went ahead and traded for what we had agreed on earlier. This bike is a freakin monster. I think it actually flattened out my eyeballs.

    Hit the brakes to hard and the tank will flatten out another pair of balls if your not ready for it. Lol.

  10. What's the point?

    Saw a guy on a Harley with his GF. Jeans shorts, tank tops, flip-flops, no gloves, no helmet - and he was tailgating me at 65mph less than one bike length behind. Then he got upset because I was leaving a 2 second following distance so he passed me and got up behind a guy in front of me - just as close. The traffic was very weird, lots of slowdowns by 10-20mph for no apparent reason other than standing waves from people being too bunched up. Each time this happened hs relied on the fact he was actually riding on the white line between lanes to give him stopping distance.

    There are old riders, and there are bold riders....

    If you ain't first your last!

    Glad you didn't kill it. I don't think you should kill them either (unless it can not be removed safely). Snakes are great, they eat mice and other little critters that annoy us. I know if you live in an area where there are deadly snakes you are suppose to wear proper boots and watch ware you walk.

    if you do kill a snake at least make use of the skin.

    I wear over the ankle boots but with the amount of miles I walk and run through the desert snake boots aren't very practical. If a dangerous snake acts aggressive towards me its going down. We've got plenty of harmless ones that eat the mice and what not also. There are a lot of rattlesnakes here. Around the house there getting killed I'd rather have a dead snake than a dead dog or family member.

    I stomped one by accident one night in the dark, jumping from rock to rock in a park. I got away, but I had to stop the guy behind me from following. It probably died from the injuries, it was hissing and thrashing around.

    It was a Habu pit viper, in Okinawa.

    That's nuts. What I've been told about stepping on snakes is with most of em if your actually walking and don't stop they miss ya but normally get the guy behind you. Finding a rattlesnake in the middle of the night is pretty scary when it breaks the silence. But screw messing with those foreign jungle snakes.

    Kill it with fire!!

    Considering all the wildfires going I think the state of Arizona would frown on me attempting that.

    You did shoot it, right?

    No its way too much paperwork to discharge my duty weapon and shooting snakes is not really acceptable. The guy I was working with encouraged me to beat it with my baton. I didn't see that going as well as I would hope so I left it alone. Also I figured he had every chance to bite me and didn't even strike so he got a pass. If this were at the house though this guy would have been introduced to my wifes taurus judge.

    A couple of nights ago I accidentally kicked this guy in the face. I was working and walking down a two track dirt road at night. I had my flashlight on but didn't see him laying in my path. I felt a little bump on my boot like I kicked a small rock but at the same time I heard the infamous rattle of a pissed off snake. As I leapt away with my cat like reflexes I looked down to see its head about an inch from my boot as he was pulling back into the coiled strike position. It scared the crap outta me. It was about 2.5-3' long and about as big around as a kiwi.
