So, yesterday I accompanied GooDy to traffic court as his witness to contest a speeding ticket. First off, I have to tell you guys, be prepared to be there for at least four hours. Well, unless your case gets dismissed because the officer does not show up. Otherwise, just to be on the safe side, don’t plan or schedule anything for the rest of the day.

So first, some back story. GooDy got his ticket in early August. It was a little past midnight and we were heading to another venue. GooDy was on his Zx6r and I was driving behind him on Geary Boulevard. For those of you in the area, Geary Boulevard’s posted speed limit is a ridiculous 25 miles per hour. No one, and I mean no one, travels at that speed. It would just be ridiculous. Everyone knows to travel with the flow of traffic. And the flow of traffic is always over 25 miles per hour. Well, I guess it isn’t important for our case. I was just ranting.

So anyways, GooDy pulls up next to me and I tell him not to go that fast because I didn’t know the address of where we were going next. In addition, it was raining lightly so I told him to slow down. I follow him for not more than four blocks before some cop car pulls out of nowhere and pulls him over.

From where I was observing from, I found it strange that the cop did not have him take off his helmet. Instead he just asked for GooDy’s license and registration and lectured him a bit before letting him go.

Now, let’s fast forward again to traffic court. GooDy was close to being last to be called up. Unfortunately for many of the defendants that day, a smug attorney had pissed the fuck out of the judge and she was not in a good mood. Now, I mention this subjectively but hey, you have to take all things into consideration.

So finally, GooDy was called up and the cop presented his case first. He claimed that GooDy was traveling in excess of 60 miles per hour on a 25 mile per hour area. First, wrong. He wrote 57 miles per hour on the ticket. The cop then presented the judge with radar calibration records, radar training certificates, etc. etc. Sorry dude, GooDy requested calibration records by mail and never received any. Therefore, the judge deemed the documents inadmissible. Third, I went up to testify as to the speed of GooDy’s motorcycle. Good enough right?

Nope! GooDy was still found guilty because the cop was able to prove beyond a shadow of doubt that GooDy was going in excess of the speed limit. How? I don’t know. The judge even admitted to knowing that Geary Boulevard was traveled at a rate higher than 25 miles per hour by everyone but still gave him no leniency. She did however lower the punishment to one point instead of two.

This is by no means legal advice. Just letting you know how GooDy wasted four hours of my time, or how I cost GooDy a point. Guess it depends on who you ask. Haha! Alright guys, I’m out.

Bad news dudes! GooDy’s Daytona 675 went toe to toe against a city bus and lost! Man, I am so pissed right now! I hate bus drivers. They always drive like they own the entire street.

So, this is what happened: I was at a stop light and proceeded ahead when it turned green. Little did I know that a bus had run a red and crossed two lanes to be right in front of me. The front of my bike hit the bus wheel, but the bus driver did not stop! As he proceeded to go, the Daytona was slowly getting twisted right into the bottom of the bus!

I revved and turned and managed to get out from underneath and ride away. I was too pissed and shaken to stop and yell at the idiot bus driver. Take a look at the video.

Good to know that Nissin parts are interchangable. Alright guys, take it easy. Peace!

What’s up guys? Nothing special or major this week. Just two to three little fixes that had to be done on the 900SS. One quick update on the fairings though. As you saw in my previous post, the fairings were pretty tore up. So I get a call from the shop and they said that it was beyond repair.

So, it’ll be a while longer before we can put clothes on her. What we ended up having to do was order a new fairing and have it get painted. Hit to the wallet but hey, it’s what we’re here for right? Anyways, on to the video!

Alright guys, stay tuned and have a good day. Peace!

What’s up guys? The great folks at Zero Gravity hooked us up again today! I’m so glad it was them and not Hotbodies Racing this time. I am so sick of the lack of quality of their products. Sorry, that’s a topic for another post. Check out what came in the mail!

Installation was a snap as usual. Just loosen the bolts around your upper fairing and pop in the new windscreen, screw in the bolts and viola! Instantly your bike becomes more aerodynamic! Here are some before and after pictures.

Instant hotness factor!

Back in June 9, 2008, Honda revealed a Cbr600rr prototype that featured an all new braking system branded as Combined ABS which integrates combined braking, anti-lock braking, and brake-by-wire systems. Combined ABS uses a computer control unit to ensure the correct balance of front and rear brake use and also controls when the ABS should engage. The system is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible by delaying the engagement of the ABS until the last possible moment.

On September 5, 2008, Honda introduced a revised CBR600RR for the 2009 model year. Following the “Combined ABS” prototype, the new CBR600RR will have an available option of “Combined ABS”. Other changes include updates to the engine which improved torque from 8000 rpm to 12000 rpm, improved fairings that enhance stability and reduce noise emission levels, and new color schemes which were designed to attract a wider range of riders. Although all of these changes involved the addition of some materials, the overall weight of the 2009 CBR600RR remains the same as the 2008 model. This was achieved through weight savings in the engine, exhaust, and chassis and continues to remain the lightest bike in the super sport class.

For 2009, Honda also offers three more wild colors in an attempt to attract a wider range of buyers. There is the green, red, white and blue, and the new tribal white version.
