[Ducati] Things I am looking for

[Ronald Betts]

1969, Honda Super 90 with fat Dunlops and a cut off exhaust. I had perfected the wheelie and could do one thru the gears. There is a street in town that goes up a hill for about a quarter mile in a S configuration. I come to the bottom of the road, pull up the front end and procede to ride on my back tire all the way to the top. When I brought the front end down an officer red lighted me. He asked me what the hell I thought I was doing and he had picked me up at the bottom of the hill and followed me to the top. I asked him why he didnt red light me at the bottom and he said "I wanted to see if you would make it". I said "Sure , ya want to see me do it again?" He said "Only if you want another ticket ",and handed me one to sign. I havent been without a bike since. Im 54 now , so I guess I,ve been riding over 38 years......Don't do wheelies anymore.
