Had to happen!

So the weather here in New Hampshire and my schedule finally align so I can Take the 999 out, So after turning on to the paved road (yes the directions to my house include turning off of the paved road thank you Mr. Foxworthy) I remember that I havenâ€™t checked the tired and that they are cold so I put-put down to the local gas station where I give her the first fill up of the season check and fill the tires . As I turn back on to the road I think the tired are warm enough I will lean into it a little bit and I am quickly at 75 and am backing off when who appears coming the opposite direction but a very nice police officer. I was already on the brakes before he crested the hill but alas soon my mirrors were filled with blue and I was parked side the road. The kind officer admired my bike, noted that 62 in a 30 was a bit much, then chose to give me a written warning rather than a ticket. I thanked him and rode on home. SO the season begins.

Cool about the warning !! I don't know if he would have been so nice if he would have stopped me when I rode your Turbobusa though.

Speaking of "paved roads"...I remember when I hopped on one of your Goldwings with Renee on the back in the gravel after not riding for a few years and NEVER operating anything that big with that many switches and gadgets without 4 tires on it.

Luckily it didn't take very long to get the hang of it though.

Yeah all the buttons make it hard to find the expresso maker

ZO6 yeah they tend to get touchy when when your speed is more the double the 65 miles an hour limit.

I was so afraid this was a crash thread and you had wadded up that pretty 999.

Thank god.
