[Bike] Pulled over in Freo

Got pulled over today, lights and sirens, the whole works. Now I'm not going to lie, I thought about just twisting my wrist and getting away. I wasn't doing anything wrong, but why take the risk when I've got 19kW (25 horsepower) at my command?

Unfortunately, I would have been putting innocent peoples lives at risk when the police assigned 6 cars to (unsucessfully) chase me, so I pulled over.

Turns out, the guy just wanted to make sure the bike wasn't stolen, license check, and wanted to check out the bike. He had a good old chat, walking around, checking it out, talking about how he rides a 175cc -- I said Pfft, you may as well ride a pushbike. Actually no, I didn't say that.

Nice guy. Never really had a problem with cops. Probably because I never really break the law.

Nearly sold him my CBF250, too. That would have been cool.

[Bike] First ride down the coast

A friendly chap from the PSB forums agreed to shadow me down to Freo. We rode down the coast roads. Bit of traffic but nothing too bad. Had a nice little dinner in Freo; I had to have lemonade with mine since I'm on L plates. Bah.

Started giving it a bit on the way back. I had to give it, since the bike wasn't giving anything. There's nothing to give. It's the same thing with cars -- if you can push your foot to the floor coming out of a corner, and not get scared, then you know it's not a very powerful car. Same thing here. Except my bike sounds like a whipper-snipper.

Anyway it will do for the next 12 months, then I'll be able to upgrade.

Less than 2 weeks to my test.
