[Ducati] My "run in with the law" story

[Jalo Duc]

This reminds me of similar events in my life. My first bike was an 82 YZ80 (the first year of liquid cooling with the radiator in the front above the fender) and I would ride to the gas station to fill up. Normally I would put the premix in an empty Dr. Pepper can with enough for 1 gallon. Well one day I needed gas but there were no Dr. Pepper cans around. But as luck would have it there was a Red, White, and Blue (Budweiser) can available. Well upon my arrival at the gas station I went in to pay for a gallon of gas and preceded to get an a$$ chewing by the lady behind the counter. She was already calling the cops before I had the chance to explain. As I was explaining to her the local CHP is pulling up. I go outside and the lady is behind me all in a huff. Luckily the CHP was my little league coach and friends dad. Needless to say he got a chuckle as I poured the beer (premix) into my tank :)
