Went to a friends today after the Motogp, he bought a street fighter Friday, as soon as I saw it I wanted to take it out for a spin, today being Sunday I could'nt ring my insurance to transfer mine over so I threw caution to the wind and said **** it, (Ok some of you are going to flame me for that but its done now)
I get into the city and its grand and quiet, I spot three squad car as I'm heading for the other side of town back the direction where I live, as I'm exiting the city heading for the motorway(and my house) I come up to a roundabout, theres a car infront of me, I slow and down stay behind him untill I can head into the fast lane, as soon as im in the lane I peg it up on the back wheel and head on out the road reaching 125mph and undertaking 2 cars in the process, all the while the car that I was behind entering the roundabout was an unmarked copper and he seen it all and was on my tail(well not really but he was after me) and I'm totally oblivious to his presence,
I come up on my slip road off the motor way, I ease off and about 1/2 mile up the road I hear the sirens, then he pulls up along side me with no respect for either of our lives or anyone else coming in the other direction, I was waiting for a safe place to pull in and he tries to nudge me into the kurb, I start waving a fist at him and he tells me over the loud speaker to pull in, so I do then over the loud speaker I'm told to turn off the bike, then get off the bike, I tought that was really funny anyway he goes to the boot of his car and I started to get a little worried but he only brings out his cuffs, he runs over to me grabs my hand ready to cuff me and shouts "give me one good reason why I should'nt arrest you right now" I had to think and it felt like ten mins, I did'nt say anything but I guess by the limpness of my hand he knew I was'nt going to give him any hassel, so he gives me a good ear burning about the way I came out the road.. he then takes my name, address, rubs the dirt off the plate takes the reg# and jumps into the car, gets on the radio and I wait....
He comes back asks is it my bike, I say no its a friends I just picked it up now and I'm heading back home, he asks have I insurance I say no, he says thats right the bike has'nt been insured since '04 and taxed since '03, I tell him I was going to insure it first thing in the morning as soon as the office opens and that I had no other way of getting the bike, then I start to give out to him about how dangerous he was trying to push me into the kurb, he said he was'nt going to take any chances that I could be a runner(drugs)
He then goes on to say I'm impounding the bike, it will be 125euro for the tow truck and 25euro a night its kept in, then he says I'm going to be really fair with you since you've been honest and hav'nt given me any hassel I'll(cop) let you off for no insurance.. if I get it put into my name first thing tomorrow, get a fax from the insurance company and bring it in to me, I'll(cop) let you off the tax and the fact that the bike has no mirrors, a tiny plate and race tyres but I am goiing to do you for dangerous driving.. says if it was just the speed or the wheelie that would'nt be so bad but undertaking cars at speed is totally insane..
Now I've to wait for a date in court and theres a real possibility I could lose my licence at the least I'm going to get a bunch of points which is going to drive up my insurance and I'll get a heafty fine
Oh well, It could have been a lot worse... my only regret is not keeping it pinned when I got off the motorway he would have never got me
Hope ye can understand all that, I'm not used to writing long posts
