[apollomx681]

yes.. its an 04 i have 18,000 miles on it and i was out a whole season.. weekly rides from boston to the cape and beyond other rides include northern maine. and by northern I mean millinocket area to do some sweet twisties up there... planning a trip to indy this summer to watch the race... i have full insurance coverage on it so i treat it just like any other bike ive owned.. this one is just special lol

oh yeah daily driver to work.. but it gets parked in a secure parking garage.. so i don't need to worry haha

So is it legal in Mass to ride without mirrors?

not to bust balls, but is this a serious question doc?
if so, in MA you need a LEFT mirror to be legal. and if you wonder why someone would only put one mirror on just to be legal, ask weman

[Doc]

Yep was serious. Only need 1 in VT too and I only have ONE on the CRF.

and Dolla... I may be old but I don't think that is what is meant by "ridin dirty"

[Pittenger5]

They see me rollin
They hatin
Patrollin
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty?


Im pretty sure that means without mirrors

[apollomx681]

yeah no mirrors... but in reality my bike in general isnt to legal.. i guess a carbon tank is illegal for street use but the day i find a cop who gets me for that... ill be amazed..

then quickly tell him its a decal hahaha

[Doc]

umm no...

Urban Dictionary: ridin dirty

[Doc]

Oh and for reference...

They see me rollin
They hatin
Patrolling they tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
My music so loud
I'm swangin
They hopin that they gon catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty

[Verse 1 - Chamillionaire]
Police think they can see me lean
I'm tint so it ain't easy to be seen
When you see me ride by they can see the glean
And my shine on the deck and the TV screen
Ride with a new chick, she like hold up
Next to the playstation controller is a full clip and my pistola
Turn a jacker into a coma
Girl you ain't know, I'm crazy like Krayzie Bone
Just tryin to bone ain't tryin to have no babies
Rock clean itself so I pull in ladies
Laws of patrolling you know they hate me
Music turned all the way up until the maximum
I can speak for some niggas tryin to jack for some
But we packin somethin that we have and um will have a nigga locked up in the maximum
Security cell, I'm grippin oak
Music loud and tippin slow
Twist and twistin like hit this dough
Pull up from behind and is in his throat
Windows down gotta stop pollution
CDs change niggas like who is that producing?
This the Play-N-Skillz when we out and cruisin
Got warrants in every city except Houston but I'm still ain't losin

[Chorus]

[Verse 2 - Krayzie Bone]
I been drinkin and smokin holdin shit cause a brother can't focus
I gotta get to home 'fore the po po's scope this big ol Excursion swerving all up in the curve man
Nigga been sippin on that Hennessey and the gin again is in again we in the wind
Doin a hundred while I puff on the blunt
And rollin another one up, we livin like we ain't givin a fuck
I got a revolver in my right hand, 40 oz on my lap freezing my balls
Roll a nigga tree, green leaves and all
Comin pretty deep, me and my do-jo
I gotta get back to backstreets
Wanted by the six pound and I got heat glock glock shots to the block we creep creep
Pop Pop hope cops don't see me, on a low key
With no regards for the law we dodge em like fuck em all
But I won't get caught up and brought up on charges for none of y'all
Keep a gun in car, and a blunt to spark, but well if you want, nigga you poppin dark
Ready or not we bust shots off in the air Krayzie Bone and Chamillionaire

[Chorus]

[Verse 3 - Chamillionaire]
Do what you thinkin so, I tried to let you go
Turn up a blink of light and I swang it slower
A nigga upset for sure cause they think they know that they catchin me with plenty of the drink and dro
So they get behind me tryin to check my tags, look at my rearview and they smilin
Thinkin they'll catch me on the wrong well keep tryin
Cause they denyin is racial profiling
Houston, TX you can check my tags
Pull me over try to check my slab
Glove compartment gotta get my cash
Cause the crooked cops try to come up fast
And been a baller that I am I talk to them, giving a damn bout not feeling my attitude
When they realize I ain't even ridin dirty bet you'll be leavin with an even madder mood
I'mma laugh at you then I'mma have to cruise I'm in number two on some more DJ Screw
You can't arrest me plus you can't sue
This a message to the laws tellin them WE HATE YOU
I can't be touched or tell 'em that they shoulda known
Tippin' down, sittin' crooked on my chrome
Bookin' my phone, tryin' to find a chick I wanna bone
Like they couldn't stop me I'mma 'bout to pull up at your home and it's on

[Chorus 2x]

[Doc]

Friggin Crackers!

[Pittenger5]

No mirrors isnt a felony? Crap, there goes all my street cred

[Doc]

You never had any.

Wow... that's a SHARP lookin ZX. Welcome to the forum.

I've ridden w/o mirrors a few times when I was in a rush to get to work the day after a track day.... I was friggin PARANOID.

If it were me (& its not, but I'll tell you anyway ) I'd go w/ some bar end mirrors. I've never been a fan of the rear view camera. Too gimicky.

[apollomx681]

after a while its like second nature to do a quick peripheral turn to see around you.. im used to it by now

[Doc]

Umm yeah... but the point is.... Is it legal?

Why flirt with the po po? put a lil mirror on it and be legit.

[OreoGitorio]

maybe, but there's a very good reason for my paranoia.... I know two people who have been rear-ended in the last month alone while on their bikes. I try to have one eye on my rear-view & one on the road ahead as much as possible.

"used to it" just gives you a false sense of security.... anyway... like you said, you're not plannin on keepin it that way & you're lookin at your options... I was just saying I was paranoid w/o the mirrors

Bike looks amazing... I hope to see it in person soon




Doc, shut up, he knows it's not legal.

[apollomx681]

i know a few people who got rear ended too.. i don't have false sense but i see where your coming from.. just concerned.. yeah i'm planning on attending bike night on tuesday so i hope to see a lot of you guys there!

[Doc]

You say Tomato, I say Tomato...

Either way we are both trying to get him to put a friggin mirror on his STREET bike.

ANOTHER of my pet peeves...

Street bikes have MIRRORS.

RACE bikes do not...

If you ride it on the street put a flippin mirror on it. Your not impressing anyone that knows better. :



Oh and Apollo... I am busting your balls!!

Ride safe man!!
