bowlin01 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 How about a GT900 with one of the spare anchors from the Titanic in the background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koth442 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Oh yeah, true! I won a thing ha How about a GT900 with one of the spare anchors from the Titanic in the background? It's now up to @peripateticmike to pick the next challenge. For all of us poor fellows that don't have a GT, let's keep it so either a GT or normal Tracer / FJ will satisfiy the challenge. So mike, what should our next challenge be? '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get bonus points if it is a Yamaha. It is okay to ride to the police station and take a photo. It is not necessary to draw a speeding ticket to get the photo. 2015 red FJ-09: Cal Sci screen, Sargent seat, ECU flash, slider combo, cruise, Rizoma bars, Matts forks, JRi shock, slipper clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member texscottyd Posted August 12, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted August 12, 2018 Next up: a photo of your FJ-09 with a police motorcycle Ugh... I had a minor roadside consultation with a Houston patrol officer on a Goldwing yesterday. Unfortunately, I was preoccupied with ‘explaining what exactly that move was all about’ and forgot to ask for a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koth442 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a police motorcycle out here. There's plenty in California. I know there's a few bay area people who could knock this out quick! '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member texscottyd Posted August 13, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted August 13, 2018 So, how exactly did you explain your wheelie to the nice officer? ?He actually WAS a nice officer, thank goodness, and was very cool about the entire thing. Verbal warning and a 'enjoy your ride' as we parted ways... I was heading up an on-ramp to merge into freeway traffic. When it's actually moving, traffic on the Houston freeways is fast, and 75 to 85 is a fairly normal pace of traffic flow. Therefore, I like to hit the merge point at the top of the ramp going somewhere around 80 mph, which makes it easy to pick a spot and get in line. But the idiot ahead of me kept slowing down more and more... eventually it became obvious he was going to come to a stop at the top of the ramp... ugh. Not wanting to be a sitting duck stopped behind him on the ramp, I just blew around on the right side paved shoulder, and - ahem - 'accelerated briskly' into traffic. I glanced over my shoulder and saw the cop on the Goldwing just behind me and two lanes to the left, then glanced back at my speedometer which showed 92 and decelerating... oops. He had me dead-to-rights, but when I explained the situation he was completely understanding. He was obviously an enthusiast, too, so it was pretty casual after the initial license & insurance check. Best part of the exchange: Him: "I get it what you were doing, but that was pretty excessive speed to be merging..." Me: "Granted. But have you ever ridden one of these Yamaha triples?"
