Dude you kept me entertained all week. This had everything, the drama, truck stop hookers, wrong turns, unsurmountable odds, raw character of untamed grammar, and I'm pretty sure it was real life. And the good guy still managed to survive. Great work and props to having the attitude to try this. I found myself wondering how you were doing during the day.

p.s. Post if you have another adventure, and who knows... some of us may want to join...

 

I want scans of the tickets or something....I'm skeptical...

 

I had fun staying updated all week. It would've been funnier if the grammar were a result of the deliriousness.

Assuming it's all truth, which I'm inclined to believe, glad you're back safe.

 

Glad you made it, havoc! And with a stock seat yet, I presume. You are now a Senior Member, in my opinion.

Sorry you got caught twice, the worst part of that being your insurance premiums. I doubt traffic school is an option, since both are out of state, but you might check on it. Hell, that would just be a mini road trip for you now, to ride a few hundred miles to traffic school.

As for "Wild Hogs", my wife and I both thought it was totally bogus the first time we saw it. Then we watched it again about a year later and laughed our asses off. I love that movie. It's like most "Hollywood" movies about surfing, which are totally off base and inaccurate, but they're fun to watch. "Big Wednesday" being the exception. I recognized characters I knew in that movie.

There I go...off on a tangent. Congrats on making it home safe.

 

glad u did it!! and safe

 

I got to go to work tomorrow an I got wi-fi there so I'll post up the tickets an stuff then it won't let me do it from my phone. I think I might b able to get outa the 2nd one he wrotte the wrong license plate number an make he put suzuki , no model an he checked the car box not the motorcycle box. An he also wrotte class e endorsement wich in FL is none motorcycle class e is for GVWR 26001 lbs or any rv. Are just say motorcycle also in bottom corner

 

Congrats on a great trip. You wouldn't believe how much easier it would have been with good gloves, a full suit, and a Corbin or Sargent seat. But it's good that you did it the hard way the first time.

 

I believe it crashrat lol my hands are still numb an my *** still hurts. I went to get on the bike today an well I sat down instant pain lol lucky I didn't have have to work till tomorrow I fnt think I clda handled 12hrs on the road again so soon even if it is in a lil red pickup

 

sorry i dnt have a scanner but here are pics of the tickets i got i blacked out the DL# but left the rest
(hopefully this works im not sure how to add pictures if it dosnt i'll figure something out i guess)
well im really not sure wat else to say about this trip you guys were all there pretty much threw out, the only other real interesting thing that happend was on the way home in northern virgina i stoped for gas an to put every peace of clothing i had with me on cuz i was freezing an there was this creepy dude chilling on a harley parked nxt to my bike i lit a smoke an started drinking my monster energy coffe dude started talking to me i was polite an started talking back an after a few moments he asked "so who do you ride with" i said no one really i pretty much ride alone. he said " do you know were your at" i said laughingly virgina i think. he said "nah brother this is pagan coutry" i said really? like witchs an wiccan that kinda stuff he said "what the **** no the bikers you shld always know whos country your riden threw" so at this point im a lil creeped out as he starts picking his teeth with a knife he pulled out of his necklace an i hear banjos start playing in my head lol im like o **** this is about to suck. so i politely say well ima finish my coffe an get ride'n bro im cold an beat an i got a long way to go. then **** gets really scary lol he says well i dnt think your gonna make it why dnt you come back to my place an rest for the night. im so no i gotta be back at work an i gotta push threw this goes back an forth for about 2 or 3 min till he finaly leaves in a roar. i was gonna leave first but the more i thought about it the better i thought it was to wait him out 1 i didnt want him following me not that he could have caught me on that thing but mayb he had something in that engine an i dnt know it an 2 i didnt want him to think he scared me off so i wanted to stand my ground. now this guy clda bein full of **** just a random hillbilly on a bike telling fairytails about how some bikers had just turned up missing an i better b carefull an blah blah blah but i thought best to play it carefull be polite an b ready for a fight if i had to. how i always manage to get myself into this kinda **** i'll never know. well that was about the last thing to share with you guys other then that the first 1,100 took me 22hrs an the second 1,300 cuz i um....got lost lmao took close to 26 or 28 i believe i cant remember but i did take quit a few brakes on return trip well thanx again to everybody who helped an kept me informed. you guys are great

 

Ok.. sorry.. I just busted up laughing, nearly spit coffee all over my laptop...

I was keeping up with the journey and just popped in to read this, the latest installment.... I got done with the part about the banjo playing redneck and -LOL- I look at the previous post and see this: **lol my hands are still numb an my *** still hurts**. Busted me up. Sorry.. had to share.
Glad it all turned out ok... bet thoughts of that dude lurking out there kept you awake better than any monster drink

 

Lmfao yeah I thought about that after I hit post reply. But o-well I'm pretty shameless guy, still though I was pretty glad to get a couple 100 miles between me an that guy

 

i tell you what,you have just about my luck,thats just some funny stuff.you just cant write this **** lol

 

Nothing's set in stone yet, but I am goin back to ohio around the last week of march, I'm goin back for good so there's no return trip for me. But anyone who wants to go, meet along the way or go part way is more then welcome to join,

 

Once again........

Along with the rather interesting spelling (and not just the txt speak) a little punctuation and maybe a paragraph break here and there would, at least, make your posts readable.

Not trying to give you a hard time, I'm just unable to make it through (not threw) your post.

 

Mike, did you miss the part about banjos playing?

Seriously havoc, you need to bypass that area of Virginia next time. My guess is he was for real and just f#@*ing with you. But I'd say you dodged one big time after the comment about witches and wicans. That sounds like something the William H. Macy character in "Wild Hogs" would have said.

 

Sorry I couldn't make it that far.......

 

Lol I know rit. I don't know a lot about biker gangs. An I wasn't try to insult the guy or his club. But pagans wasn't one of the groups I've heard of. I was just asking a question. But I made it threw (or through not sure wich one is right lmao sorry)

 

Oh.. and BTW.. the Pagans MC are the real deal... 1%-ers

 

Rearview
I dnt understand wat your tryn to tell me lol sorry. Wat do you mean MC an 1%-ers

 

MC = motorcycle club
1% = Bad dudes... American Motorcyclist Association said YEARS ago after a series of public relations nightmares that 99% of motorcyclists were law-abiding citizens, and the last one percent were outlaws. That's where it came from.

Pagans MC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagans_Motorcycle_Club
1%: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlaw_...One_Percenters

Today's lesson is complete. He was telling you that you were trespassing.

 

Well now lol I don't know if I feel lucky or dumb. But still glad I stood my ground an didn't let him punk me. Just happy I did it politely hahahahahahaha
:P

 

I think a little of both and some luck got you through... He figured out that you actually where clueless and since you still where polite but not pissing yourself he probably considered it warning enough...

1% or not though... I actually think his offer of a bed for the night probably was a genuine one though... Once he was done warning you, he's still a biker... And to my experience most of them, even the scary ones, kind of stick together, as long as you are on a bike, you are considered OK...

Doesn't mean I'd take him up on the offer though...

 

Havoc you would probably not had a bike to wake up to as he would have parted that thing out while you slept. Not into the whole Pagan, Hell's Angels thing but for him to ask who you rode with was stupid. 1%ers know that sportbike riders aren't affiliated so my guess is he was a poser. You handled it well.

 

Probably true... One thing to know about most 1%'ers though... They usually couldn't care less about the law, and pissing them of is not a smart move... But most of them have morals that they put above the law, and helping out another biker is in most parts of their circles still part of that, sportbike or otherwise...

At least around here... Could most definetly be otherwise other places, and it's kind of up to you to judge how many loose screws the guy you meet have... I have seen a few of them missing most of them...

 

For all I know he was the nicest guy in the world an just rough around the edges lol. But I got a feeling that something wasn't right so I went with it.

 

You were right in feeling that way. It's a cold world out there and the potential for someone screwing you over is much higher than the chances of someone offering you a nice clean bed.

Did you get your bike all fixed up yet? What did you learn about riding gear? Hand grips? Throttle locks? Speeding? Sorry, I threw that last one in there to see if you were paying attention.

 

Well RW I learned a throttle lock would have bein amazing!!!!!!!! My walmart gloves good enough for the daily ride to work an back but not much else lol. As far as speeding goes its fine as long as you don't do it outside of FL lmfao. After I got my 2nd ticket I play'd it slow an steady, then something odd happend I got about 50miles into fl an I was rolling down the road at about 100 110 knowingly an fearlessly. FL is an odd state when it comes to highway traffic laws. I've bein goin 120 an had a cop pull up nxt to me laugh an then shake his finger I slowed down he took off an I was back at it. Idk FL is just an odd state. But sence I've bein home I've noticed that I ride easy'r if that makes any sence at all. Like b4 I was full throttle red lined pass every car on the road. Now I'll just chill behind traffic putting along at my own pace, yes I still get on her but it used to bother me to b stuck behind people or people pass me now I just kinda ride. Who knows maybe the trip mellowed me out some how (will see how long it last) I also learned anyone with a vtr should ride 77 threw west virgina cuz bro's 77 is a effin fun ride!!!!!

 

Sounds like the ride had many beneficial effects. Not to your wallet, but in other ways. Amazing about the FL cop. If it were me they'd have me in handcuffs! I and many others here really enjoyed your story as it progressed.

 

Yeah bro I totally blame FL for my bad riden habits lol ask any FL biker an I'm sure they'll they can give you a simaler story. I'm glad I this place an guys to fall back on for advice an just kinda a distraction from the road on my gas stops when I go on another adventure I'll keep ya'll posted

 

The trip also did something to your english and writing skills !!!!!
