more great news!!

I got pulled over!
75 in a 45...
I stopped at a light and heard syrins but couldnt see them, so i looked in my rear view mirrior and a sherriff stopped behind and was running out of his car at me...I guess he had been chassing me for like a min...
got a ticket for speeding ($500)
and another ticket for not having a motorcycle endorsment...I wont know how much that fine will be till my court date.

gotta love life...

damn dude you been riding all this time without mc endorsement or even a permit? and 30 miles and hr over here and you most often go to jail

Soapbox time.

Slow the F**K down. Not for the risk of you hitting a parked car and flying through the air, but because you are already complaining about being broke and still buying shit off of eBay. I know you don't want to here this and I know I did the same thing when I was that age, but damn dude. You need to stop and get things straightened out before you get into a situation and your mom says get out and deal with it yourself.

End of soapbox.

Good luck getting everything taken care of.

i didnt think I was doing that much faster...I was doing enough to pass the cars in front of me because I dont like riding behind cars incase they stop short...
I was on my way to school and the road was backed up from an accedent or something so I had to take another route and go quick so I wasnt to late...I can mis anymore school or be late anymore so I was in a hurry.

all I know is that my life is kinda shitty and dont have anything.
I might have to sell the bike to pay for everything.

Hard to know how fast you're going when your gauges don't work properly, isn't it ? Time to re-evaluate the priorities and get things straightened out dude. Good luck

[R3TARD]

One more word of advice dex, You cant just leave those nfs charges and a big - figure in the bank because eventually they will charge you with deposit account fraud, which can be a felony after a certain dollar amount. Good luck dude. When you dont have gauges you ride with the traffic bro. Worse than a car stopping quickly in front of you is t boning 1 at 75mph

man forget soap box. You're the type of rider right now that is giving every sport biker a bad name. No gear, no license, and speeding...and not just a little. That all points towards irresponsible behavior. Buying a sport bike already labels one a hooligan. Your situation is not helping change that, just re-enforcing it.

If you didn't see the cop for that long you obviously are oblivious to things going on behind you. Riding a bike is a priviledge. Act like it is.

squid squid squid LOL2

I might have to sell the bike to pay for everything.

as a wise friend told me one....THAT"LL LEARN YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! squid

i feel no shame man...

you been riding dirty, not cool...even when i had no speedo i knew m speeds with my tach

[shredex]

its not that im a horrible driver.
I am actually a pretty damn good driver for the fact that i drive on the most deadly road every day and Im still alive.
Im not stupid. I am aware of my surroundings.
The cop was about 100 yards from the stop light and he clocked me as I was coming to him.
I knew what was behind me...and I was stopping which I need focus forward so I dont slam into the driver thats stopped.
then I didnt here the sirens until I was stopped.
I was wearing my helmet and jacket and gloves and jeans like always.

I may drive fast, but i do it smart...if that makes any sense.

I dont think im gonna be on for a long time...

ill get back with you guys if or when stuff starts to turn around.

see ya

That would be an FZ1 shock

[shredex]

yup...its an fz1 shock...
its the same one in this pic...but I have the stock spring

[the_finch]

That would be a 2001-2005 FZ1 Shock; it looks exactly like mine, except mine has a Racetech spring on it. They bolt right in with just a washer on either side, as the top is a little bit narrower than the stock shock.

[shredex]

theres alot of little things done to this bike that i am just discovering ...
I guess I have a pressure switch on my rear brake as well...
