Saacattack Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 So I finally laid my bike down. Of course it was after my track day on Monday. Called AAA and they won't get me because my plan doesn't cover motorcycles apparently and fire trucks came and checked me out and left. So I called a tow company because of course when I need something none of my friends are willing to help me out. So Im Just sitting here waiting lolBike won't start and I added some more scratched. It's not as bad as I thought. It will be a nice winter project and convert to track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 it is bullshit, however it is an accurate ticket. Its kinda kicking you when you're down but I guess its one of those be thankful it wasn't worse and you walked away situations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rctaylor Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 its up from around the gauges. Might have to disconnect the battery for a few hours.^ Its behind the gauges.Set the bike upright, the rock it back and forth a bit, then bounce it up and down a bit. If that doesn't work, then disconnect the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnone Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I just got it back home. I'm going to take it apart and clean it up a little bit. Mother fucker gave me a ticket for failure to control vehicle, that's bullshit!Standard Ohio policy. Was such a negative suprise when I moved from the South that they do that here.It is my understanding that tow companies are required to call the state police. Maybe a law?Either way, if you won't be filing a claim, don't call tow companies. Push that thing out of sight and entice someone to come help you.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) that is the problem with calling a tow truck, they almost always call the cops to show up before they do...really? ive never had a tow truck snitch on me, and ive been towed out of some pretty hairy situations before.one guy even told me he was going to hurry up and pull me out quickly before a cop drove by so i wouldn't get a ticket.id be pretty salty if i found out the tow truck driver snitched.

Cheech Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 that is the problem with calling a tow truck, they almost always call the cops to show up before they do...I want a citation for this, not because I don't believe you but because this seems really plausible and I really want to know definitively one way or the other.If I'm paying for a business to pull my shit out of a ditch, there was no property/personal/any damage of any kind, and I find out that said business snitched me out to the police, I'd be fucking livid. If it's a state law, then I want the ORC number.Thankfully, I've been put in this situation only once, and I got left from my group. A member of this board found me out of the clear blue sky, came back with his truck, dusted me off, helped me load the bike on the bed, talked the county sheriff into NOT giving me the same ticket the OP got, THEN drove me 45 min. back home.

Saacattack Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) i don't know if they have to call. But i was on the off ramp to 315 N from 270 E. So i was in the middle of that weird triangle. other wise I would have got out of site. I was so close but far from a safely walking my bike zone. It could have been worse. Thankfully my knee is only swollen from hitting the ground(thank god for full leathers) I will always wear that shit from now on no matter how far i'm going. But the way I look at this now, is it's a good project for me to really know my bike and obviously fix what needs to be fixed and make it track ready like I want. My battery died on my camera so I'm charging that. But I'll post pics here shortly.My only issue with the whole thing, which I guess makes sense, but I slide. Got up picked it up and 10 minutes later two fire trucks come over. No ambulance. They ask me if i'm ok, have me take deep breathes and ask me if I want to go to the Hospital and I said no. So then they left. I was really surprised by that.THE ONLY REASON I got that ticket is because a state trooper was driving by and saw me so he was checking on me and yeah lol which I do appreciate, but was also like fuck.

Gixxus Christ! Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 You couldn't have stood the bike up and said it just died on the freeway? Ran out if gas? I mean, if you told the trooper you laid it down then you kinda deserve the ticket.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many things are as likely to drain your wallet faster either, but them's the breaks Also, you may want to invest in one or two of these to keep errant screws and other bits into. Very useful, and VERY cheep.http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60149673/?query=pruta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
