After three weeks of waiting for parts for my carbs and head and front wheel bearings, I finally got Maxine back together and took it to work on my 90-miles I4 commute.
Since I replaced all my front bearings I just had to check if my high-speed wobble was still there, so I got to 135mph and all was fine.
I tried it a couple more times just to make sure, and next thing I had blue lights right up my arse :bang head::damn angry::bang head:
The guy stops me, and says 'I had you over 100mph on my speedo, and the slowest I got you was 92mph, were you aware you were going that fast?'
wooops! ... over 100 means automatic court appearance...
So I'm like, well you see, I just did some work on the bike and it needed testing!
Anyway, that cop was nice enough - said 'look I'll say I got you at 89mph this way all you get is a fine and I can get ya out of here. If you take the driving course it won't go on your driving record, have points on your license or increase your insurance. Slow down you're gonna hurt yourself.'
So $203 plus some BS course later, I'm back on I4, pretty pissed but hey - I couldn't have run in the middle of the afternoon and with the sun behind me I never saw him coming...
