Heck, sometimes you just do things pretty wrong... like tonight. first i went to this VW happening at Rausjärvi, i took some pictures of the cars, as can see, many type 2´s... which was great to see... but after an hour thought it would be better to go the cottage to fix my cars instead...so i left, the weather was nice but it was bit late ... I was at the cottage but the sun was going down, so i just fixed some smaller things... like cleaning VW heads, ok, i thought it would be great to ride my harley back home, even it started to be a bit colder, went to buy some gas, and started to ride back home... it was pretty dark and i was getting colder all the time. ok the trip went pretty good, the Harley likes a bit colder weather, everything was fine... until made a decision to drive the Kehä II (ring road) ... i´ve been very busy to be focused for everything what happens in my back in I'm pretty suspicious about the other commuters on the road... (pretty much best way to keep alive while riding a motorcycle) but when i was at the matinkylä area, i had to enter the road to Helsinki city and i accelerated to the highway with the intention to brake and get to my lane, like a normally do, and i spotted a motorcycle officer in between the lanes...damn, i checked the speedo, and it looked like i was at the safe speed of 80 kilometres per hour... ok no worries then i saw another officer, but thought that huh, that was pretty close, and after that i saw many cars pulled off for speeding, huh, that kept me in a stable 80 km/h range. BUT suddenly there was blue lights behind me, and i was pulled busted. First i thought that this couldn't be correct, i was riding 80. but the officer told me that i was riding 113 km/h. strange.
Heh, i didnt see that happening but while accelerating, in the second gear that might happen. i was more occupied to get the bike in the right lane... but can't say really that i did that on purpose, because i really don't enjoy riding a harley at the night time too fast, the way the wind grabs you at the 120 km/h in a naked bike with a drag bar, well if you have been riding one, you know what i mean. and Harleys are for me a stress relief, i just normally ride in the same speeds that normal cars will drive.
Heh, I'm happy that the bike is actually in the same shape it was at the inspection, every thing is in the papers, but the papers are at home... ok i got a ticket, under 300 euros. its a pretty big fee for this, because i only get a under 700 euros in a month, have two kids and my medical bills are pretty big + the days at the hospital will cost me pretty much compared to the income.
ok the lesson? FIRST watch it...don't be speeding. SECOND put warmer clothes on, because i was so cold that it makes you want to get to the home faster. THIRD, be more sharp of your speed, and if theres not so much traffic like it was in that moment, think before you DO.
Great thing was that the Officer was a nice guy, and everything went fast and without any other hassle or bad attitude (... i was the one that broke the rules... ) and why not, i wasn't against anything, i think i will be remembering this thing... strange that i just thought today that where are the officers nowadays, because i don't see them anymore watching the traffic. heh, now i know know.
the best thing is that i still have my permission to drive. :-) ok, now to the bed, tomorrow will be better. got to spare some money for the fee though. Money that i never had in the first place.
Still... nothing beats that great sound of that v-twin.
