I got a "well deserved" and "hard earned" Award 2 summers ago here in Dixie.........Harpersville, Al.......Hyway 25.......6:30AM on a sunny Friday morning....on the way to work..........out in the middle of no-where.......cottonfields on both sides of the little 2-lane road......on my "Beast" (2003 SV1000S). I was "feeling my cheerios" and decided to run it up thru the gears (testing out my new smaller front sprocket, Remus Exhausts, air-box mod, and TRE mod).......backed off at 100mph (only took a few seconds to get there). As I was slowing down I saw a black Chrysler sitting under a big old oak tree at the edge of the left cotton field......he pulled out after I passed and gave me the "Blue Light Special". Clocked at 93mph in a 55 zone.......pizzed in my cheerios.....Ouch!! Had to attend court, I pleaded guilty, my first citation in 32 yrs, 55 yrs old, and asked if it could be reduced to Speeding instead of Reckless Driving. They did, the Judge scolded me, and I paid $500.........and no points on my license. I sold the Sv1000S a few months later and bought the Wee650 to slow down and smell the roses during my rides.........
