Today was another example of how much attention the R1 attracts.
I was at work, which I showed up at 7:00a.m.( must be stated as part of my alibi, just in case the Fuzz is reading this) at around noon I noticed a bearoplane (CHP airplane) circling the shop. about 5 minutes later a CHP cruiser comes hauling butt into the yard and goes directly to my bike. the "Chippy" gets out of her car and walks over to my bike asking who the rider is. I ask, why? she says she was in a high speed pursuit with a "red" bike and she lost it and said it turned in here. I told her I haven't seen any bikes come through here and "that" one has been parked there since 7:00 in the morning. not believing me she reaches over and feels the exhaust to see if the bike was still hot. after realizing it wasn't she walks back to her car and takes off like she was qualifying for the winter nationals. the plane continued to circle for another 20 minutes. I walked over to my bike, and sat down by it as I always do on my break. with in 5 minutes a sheriff car came in the yard and stopped in front of me asking how long I had been there and if I happened to see any other "bikes" like mine in the area. I said "nope", and he just looked at me and drove off. my guess is the "red-rider" ditched the cops and the bearoplane spotted my bike from the air and assumed I was guilty. needless to say I was paranoid when I got off work so I rode home extra legal like. seems like a huge waste of tax dollars to me. all the resources they used to "try" and catch a speeder.
I hope that rider got away
