Default Got a visit from the cops today

yes its bike related.

well if you watched the video i made the other day at 4:20 in the video i pull out of the drivway and go for a rip, in the un edited clip i am gone about 5 minutes, anyway i had ridden up the road about a mile and pulled into house with a round about driveway that i ASSUMED was vacent as it hada real estate sign out front with a sold tag but no curtains or movment, i didnt notice the vehicle parked out back unloading.

well if ya did watch the vid you would have noticed an inherint lack of fenders, licence plate, rear light, seat, helmet, other assorted proctive clothign normally worn by a harley rider. well as i pull through the drivway as i get on the road i dump the clutch hard with a good solid twist of the throttle and left a nice long black strip then shifted int osecond and dumped hard again this time pulling the front end up, wellllllll apparently unbekownest to me the moving truck out back was hired by the RCMP officer who purchased the house and was supervising the movers at the time of my turn around, he had heard me pull in and decided to check out who this biker was pulling into his yard i guess, well he seen the whole thing.

anyway fastforward to this morning and just as i get to my sons bus stop for the school bus i see this ghost car pull up down goes the window and he introduces himself and asks me nicely jsu twhat in the he11 i was doing in his driveway the otherday, i respectfully explained that it was a test run after a long winter of mechanical work and had i known someone lived there i would have gone an extra drive way up. so he asked me to atleast put a rear light on and carry my plate with me if i am gonna be going more then 1/2 mile within my moms house and told me i had nicer biek then the ricers he's used to seeing.

It sounds like you both handled it very well. Courtesy and respect will go a long way with the police.
