I just don't like that Harley that I have. Hands go numb when riding and that doesn't happen with the sport bikes. So I stopped by the local bike dealership and saw this GSXR and I have always wanted to ride one. So, I told them the only way I would consider buying it was if I could ride it. It took a bit but they agreed.
I had to wear their helmet, that sucked lol. But I go on the test ride from Main and I-35 in Norman. I get off 1 mile north at Robinson and head east to 24th st. I had to wait on an ambulance that was coming and once he turned in front of me, I pulled behind him. There was a local Norman motorcycle cop on the right getting ready to pull out and after I passed him, this black dodge pulls out in front of me. I throw my arm in the air yelling something that I can post here lmao.
Once I looked back forward, I saw the local motorcycle cop had his lights on. Okay, maybe he is following the ambulance. NOPE! He hits his siren so I just stop that bitch right in the middle of the road lmao.
Ne comes up to my bike and starts reading me the riot act. "Do you have any idea how illegal it is to have a vehicle on the road with no license plate?". wait, what? And boy he is still going off on me. I look up at him and say "sir, I'm test riding this bike and thinking about buying it". He immediately changed his tone and asked "What dealership?". I told him "Norman Yamaha, the salesman is right behind your bike in the green truck". Oh, the look in his eyes changed instantly!
He told him to pull in front of my bike and park. He did, and started to get out of the truck. The officer started yelling "stay in your vehicle!!!" lmao. I'm still sitting on the bike. Then he asks me for my license, and I get off the bike and give it to him. At this time, the backup car that he called showed up to block the road to keep two bikes from getting hit, as well as me, still on the bike lol.
He takes the license of the salesman and heads back to his bike. Once he is back there, I start talking to the other officer saying that this is the first time I had been pulled over on a bike, and the first time I had been pulled over in... (I couldn't remember lol) and I hollered back at the bike cop when the last time I was pulled over since he ran my license. He stated "I have no idea, you have a valid license with an M endorsement and were on a test ride, I see no reason to run your info or give you a ticket. The other guy on the other hand, is getting the ticket for allowing you to ride a bike without a proper tag". At this time, I asked if I could get off the bike and out of the road, that road was quite busy, and everyone was looking because it was a crotch rocket with two cops behind it. Most of the time, someone is going to jail in that situation lmao.
I went over there and talked to teh officers, and they stated that either someone bring a proper metal dealer tag, the tag for the bike or they were going to tow the bike.
The sales manager showed up with a paper tag after about 15 minutes and the officers told him "you put that on that bike, you had better own it or you are going to be placed under arrest and the bike towed". At this point, I'm trying to hold back laughing. Turns out, they don't have a metal dealer tag for a bike, only cars... Yeah, red flag on this place.
The officers allowed the manager to push the bike into the parking lot (that I could have pulled into lol) but if he turned the key on, it was his ass lol. So he pushed it in there, the salesman got the ticket and we headed back to the dealer in the managers S2000. This, has to be the smallest car I have ever been in!
When we got back, he went and talked to his managers and said "any of the accessories that you watn over there (and pointed toward them), I will give you 15% off on anything for your troubles". And I replied "oh, you mean all that CRAP that is mostly for women that you mark up 30-50%? Not good enough and I consider that an insult!!!".
Needless to say, I didn't get a bike today lol. Norman Yamaha has blown it 3 times now and as in baseball, well you know...
But I will be getting my sport bike, just not from this damn place.
