| ducatiduane Joined: Feb 2007 From: Cheney I Ride: but not on the street. | (Dont mean to tell your story for you Will) We were getting on the freeway outside Yakima. I was the first one on and I couldnt find the other two guys in my mirror, so about a half mile down the road I pull over (there was a lot of traffic and I figured they were catching up). So, I get on the shoulder and see Leo Lights...I figure theyre not for me because I was doing 50 on the freeway. I stop and take a good look and see Matt's (kawa6m) bike behind me. I thought he was getting a ticket. Figured he was speeding to catch up to me. Then I realize I cant see Will's (dogmeatk) bike. I start wondering if he went down? Matt comes back to me, I get off my bike and see Will's in front of the car. Matt tells me they just read Will his rights and cuffed him. Turns out he did a wheelie on the on-ramp. Long story short (Im rambling) they let him go with a negligent driving (2) ticket. Last edited by the chemist; 05-03-2007 at 10:02 PM.. |

PS Duane thanks for posting the pics, I cant wait for the flaming that is sure to come! haha |

| ducatiduane Joined: Feb 2007 From: Cheney I Ride: but not on the street. | what i said was. "its smarter than speeding. When you do a wheelie youre not doing it as long as you speed." meaning wheelies dont last as long. usually. sorry, that was confusing |

(I thought he was too far back to see my wheelie) cop: "For riding that wheelie down the on-ramp. Do you remember that?" me: "No, I didnt feel anything." then he told me to turn around and spread my legs. cuff cuff and then he took off my helmet and practically strip searched me. I guess he didnt like my answer but I learned the hard way that you NEVER admit guilt when you get pulled over ... it doesnt hold up well in court. |

| Training Wheels Joined: May 2006 From: ellensburg, wa and dupont, wa I Ride: 08 Triumph Speed Triple 1050 | I havent found a lawyer yet .. I was waiting to see if anyone had a good one for me. I will call around tomorrow and look in the yellow pages. I would think that if you intended to get the front wheel off the ground and accomplished it, you obviously have pretty good control of the motorcycle. |
