Daytona Bike Week

I guess I now know why "Popeye" is yer screen name. I just figured it was because of mechanic forearms!

Yeah I've got those too.

As they say "It's all fun and games until someone looses an eye.

Hello, and Sorry Guys just had to bust in here somewhere. I know i don't post much, but over the last year and a half of reading here I feel as if I've known Ya all for Years. But anyway, 14 friends and I took that 700 mile ride to bike week and after the third day there we decided to shoot off to the Cabbage Patch, Woops, my Heritage would not start, rolled it off fired right up, headed down Atlantic going 3 blocks down for gas, Thought I would turn off head lights to let it charge(not a good idea, as I soon found out). I didn't make it half way before, Mr. Policeman on a Kawasaki pulled me over. He asked to see all paper work, at which I did very nicely, (Yes Sir, No Sir, ect) and Told him what my problem was, and then he quoted the law, and I told him I was sorry, and all I had to do was just give the switch one more click, and all was fixed, Well he just kept punching in that Black box on the back of his Trailbike, and shot a Super market size peice of paper, and told me it was worth, $116.00, didnt make my day! Anyway, what if I don't Pay this, Is there anyway around it, I was told by a few other people there, that to just show a repair bill, and send in with a $25.00 check, and if they cashed it I'm out of it...... I dont know, What is the advise from you Guys? I spent close to a Grand there in Florida, Just didn't want to give away anymore. Thanks

Bite the bullet. Sucks but at least no worries about future repercussions. Visit Fla.,bring your check book.

Well the Hassle won't be all that bad, I had already Purchased a new key Switch at JP Cycles while in Daytona, and my Cousin's a Sargent on our local Police Force, Just gave him a call, he said not a Problem....

Way to keep your cool, I would have asked Barney don't you have some real criminals to go after and your really tough behind that tin badge and probably got a bigger ticket.:devil:

Yeah I get what you mean. I guess I kinda felt sorry for the contracted Cop that day, after the large group of Bikers at the gas station found out why he wrote me a ticket, he got called some pretty bad names........:roflmao:

I enjoy it more also . weather is good that time of year and the streets are not so crazy

Many years ago, following my wife and daughter home from church no less. Was in my jeep, wife got pulled... went up to barney and said "do you not have something better to do than pull people after church? Can you not go find a criminal?" He said " go back to your jeep son or go to jail"... went back to my jeep muttering...
