Well, I have to say thanks to the Reno PD for a $115 ticket for hopping a curb into a gas station today. Apparently, today was "motorcycle safety" day so hey, it had nothing to do with revenue and only my safety.  ::)

Of course, about 20 minutes after the ticket I got driven off the road and into the ditch entering the 395 by some woman in a white F150 talking on her cell. Luckily for me I was on the dual sport so by the grace of God, I managed not to crash and only ruined a pair of underwear. Of course, no Reno PD saw that.

Just had to vent. In the words of Claire Wolfe "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards."

Hey J.... Ticket for hopping a curb?! and motorcycle safety day huh?  ::)  At least you manage to keep it upright after being cut off... BTW i met your friend Bob when we were over at Miller...

Yes, I am VERY lucky I managed to stay upright. Had I been on any other bike I'd of crashed for sure.

What really gets me is I didn't go to Miller because of how tight cash is these days and then to get nailed on a revenue grab. Just pisses me off.  >:(

Dino - I was speaking to Bob the other day and he said you guys all had a great time. Wish I could of went but maybe next time. When are we going to take the Harleys out? Maybe Sunday's group ride?
