Reckless general non-speeding

Again, you've missed the slipping the clutch part. Slip the clutch while on the throttle and the front wheel will rise. On a big cc bike this is very very easy to do.

 

When I was in the Navy, me and dude swapped bikes to go for a ride.

I had a GS550e & dude had a Nighthawk S.

Well I see the red and blue lights reflecting in the street signs at a stop light.

Cop says "I been chasing you guys for 14 miles. License & registrations."

So he's looking at them, then puzzled, then looks at us.

I says "That's my bike, this is his."

Cop says "I understand perfectly what's going on."

Verbal warnings.

 

Come on guys, give the man a break. He made a mistake and he’s willing to face the consequences for it, he just doesn’t want to lose his livelihood over such a simple thing. No one was hurt, no damage was done, and he says it was an accident not intentional.

I owned a ‘Busa for a few years, so I know exactly how much power they have. I ride a big cruiser now simply because it’s more comfortable for me on long rides.

Anyone dude can make a mistake. It takes a man to admit it. Good luck

 

An accidental wheelie now i've heard everything, and i'd bet the police officer that issued the ticket said the same thing. Actually we have a TV show here on Fox 8 which shows all the traffic incidents that police on the Victorian highway patrol have to deal with every day some are down right dangerous some are really hilarious i saw one guy riding what looked like an esky with a motor on it, they had a good laugh about it he got a warning cause the thing could barely go faster than a speed walker was told to keep it off the road and that was that so then they catch a motor cyclist doing a big wheelie going in the opposite direction, when they finally caught up with him he got a ticket for uncontrolled driving and had his bike impounded for 30 days which cost him with fines over $1000 so yeah its best to keep all wheels planted firmly on the pavement. or get a side car or better still stick to driving 4 wheeler's.

 

Nope. Didn't miss it.

I've never slipped the clutch. I been riding 36 years.

 

No don't agree, not anyone can make a mistake like that.

Yes it takes a man but defending it to others who call him on it, please that's where he lost his argument.

I hope he gets it reduced or thrown out but I also hope he takes it easier in the future and take his CDL seriously.

 

The 1st year I rode in the Toys for Tots Motorcycle Parade in Chicago, I met a guy who was missing his left leg. He was riding a red Ducati. He'd strap his crutches across the back seat, swing his stump over the bike, stand it up, use a stick to raise the side stand and put it in gear. Stow the stick, and away he'd go. Get to where he's going, he'd use the stick to get it into neutral and lower the side stand.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

 

And that's an intentional thing that the rider has absolute control over, NOT something the bike inexplicably does on its own.

 

That's awesome! Only people I've met that ride trikes are missing a leg.

One can accidentally slip the clutch. It happens.
