Title: rippen it up
Post by: B12MoJo on March 22, 2005, 10:36:33 PM
Due to recent events, the other day I got outto let of some steam... kind of let loose.

Only caught two good pictures from my shoddy camera, but got some good first-second-third gear videos on my DV cam... but since I'm in 56K no posting those. :sad:

Say what you want... wheelies are bad, that's why I bought a 1200 Bandit. :duh:

Not bad... but you need to train the camera operator to get SOMETHING in focus.  :stickpoke:

If it were in focus then the police would be able to I.D. the plate #. The picture is self incriminating.

A little off topic (well, okay - way off) but Swamp Rat must be a time traveler.   :stickpoke:

Hello,

I'm a time traveler stuck here in 2005. Upon arriving here my dimensional warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LLC Lasers to repair my Generation 3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on me. I am going to need a new DWG unit, prefereably the rechargeable AMD wrist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200 warp stabilizers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display.

I will take whatever model you have in stock, as long as its received certification for being safe on carbon based life forms.

In terms of payment: I dont have any Galactic Credits left. Payment can be made in platinum gold or Y2K currency upon safe delivery of unit.

Please transport unit in either a brown paper bag or box to below coordinates on Friday March 25th at (exactly 3:00pm) Eastern Standard Time on the dot. A few minutes prior will be ok, but it cannot be after. If you miss this timeframe please email me.

Latitude N 42.48018 & Longitude W 071.15503 and the Elevation is 96. WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRANSPORT ITEM BY REGULAR MEANS OF TELEPORTATION. THEY ARE MONITORING AND WILL REDIRECT THE SIGNAL!! I DO NOT CARE HOW YOU HAVE TO GET IT HERE, JUST DO IT IN A WAY THAT NO SPYING EYES WILL POSSIBLY BE ABLE TO REDIRECT THE TRANSFERENCE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU BE ABLE TO MONITOR THE TRANSFER.

Although those coordinates are a secure guarded area, these channels through email are never secure. Unfortunately it is the only form of communication I have right now.

After unit has been sent please email me at: info@federalfundingprogram.com with payment instructions. Do not reply directly back to this email.

Thank You

The dude washing his truck in the driveway looks impressed.  My neighbors would be callin' the cops on me if I was going down the street up on one.  Oh, wait, my neighbor is a cop.

The camera is hard to get motion pics in focus, due to it's timed delay between pressing the button and taking the picture.

While the police would be able to ID the plate (I'm sure there's someone out there that could zoom/whatever to tell me my grandmother's maiden name from these pics), they wouldn't be able to ID the operator... so they couldn't fine or press charges against anyone.  If they tried too, it wouldn't hold up in court... not with my lawyer at least.

Not getting upset, just some friendly debate going on. :beers:

and the dude in the driveway is a good neighbor... along with the rest.  All adults with no kids to run out.  Tried to control as many variables as possible.

As a side note; I can't wait until the local 1/8th mile opens up.  $10 run all night Fridays.  Gonna do some 1/8th mile wheelies. :banana:   I know I can on the TL, the Bandits iffy... gotta practice

:stickpoke: Don't know how it is in GA, but in WA they'd be able to nail you if they can (a) figure out what your real name is and (b) you were doing this in their jusidiction - since you admitted guilt in your first post.

I haven't known anyone personally that's been charged like this, but rumors float around that it happened to somebody that made a video of speeding in their car and published it on the net.

I remember that Paul.  The one I heard about (I even saw the video when it was floating around) was a guy that was doing high speed public road runs.  Kinda like Ghost Rider.  The video showed his speedo from a camera mounted on his seat or something behind his shoulder doing around 200mph.  He got nailed if I remember correctly.

Though, I imagine doing high speed public road runs, and first gear wheelies might be considered a little different in most cops eyes.

Very valid point on admission of guilt though, That's pretty much a confession in the law's eyes.

I wouldn't worry about some agency knocking on my door becuase I did some first gear wheelies in front of my house and took pics...  unless of course I binned it and put my bike into someboy's property, then tried to hide it.

Just my .02.  I got caught doing first gear wheelies in houston by a cop that saw me from a parking lot.  Maybe he was busy or something, but he gave me a lecture, warning, and let me go.  

Of course I was on my best (yes sir, no sir, I am so sorry sir, it won't happen again sir) routine. ;)

Mike :)

To most, if not all of us here, a 1st gear wheelie is much safer than 200mph on a public road... but to some, especially those in a position of authority, one's just as wreckless as the other.

Not saying that I've never wheelied, or wouldn't take pictures and post them if the opportunity presented itself. Just playing Devil's Advocate here.

. . . but I've never driven/riden 200mph on a public street
. . . or a race track, for that matter.
