well cops came to the house today........

Post by R3TARD »

Well I was riding close to home yesterday and opened her up through this stretch of road I know fairly well so I get home and 30-40 min later my son says daddy there is a cop here and I go outside to meet him and he asks whos bike that is. I said mine and he says whos been riding it and I said me. He told me I better slow down and that some people complained. So now I'm leary of taking the bright yellow fizzer out again coz I know he will probably be on me like stink on shit.

If you speed again, and your bike is away from the cops view (ie. your garage), tell him that there is another bike identical to yours and you don't want to be confused with it!

but yeah.....stay slow for a bit, your probably gonna get pulled over and hassled for no reason next time a cop sees you.

Great, now that I painted my bike yellow, cops from all over will be pulling me over... ha!

Actually, it's nice having people not try to pull into my lane. I miss the metallic grey though.

Man I wont run, I'll just have to pull over but ya know its a rattle can job anyways so I'm really thinking maybe its time for a repaint. But man I reallly like the yellow. Drove the explorer cost me 15 dollars in gas to get work and back. :(
I was raising hell down a back road, and shouldnt have been. I will tell you that the yellow sticks out and I swear it just says fast. I havnt been pulled over yet but but have noticed heads turning WAY more since the yellow paint , and have also enjoyed not being cut off too.
Y'all ride safe RRBike

Like George Carlin used to say........ I got a LOT of good ideas.... like........ sand down your yellow plastics, clean and wipe them, let dry. PAINT IT BLACK like Mick Jagger said in the song, Paint It Black, by the Rolling Stones. Then mask it all off except where you want some YELLOW stripes, in whatever design you want, and paint THAT part YELLOW. (both black and yellow paints however many layers you think makes sense) Then let dry a few days and clear coat all the plastics a few times so it shines and waxes up real nice. If there are any scratches in the old paint you can fix them before doing all this.

I dunno, I'm just rambling again.
:grinnod: DEFINITELY better than all the cops in town looking for your YELLOW bike. That's like waving a box of fresh Dunkin' Donuts around.
:duh:
