Okay, I recently purchased a new tinted face shield for my helmet to replace my clear one that came with the helmet. I decided to take the bike out for a spin to ensure the face shield was working properly....lol. It was about 55 degrees and overcast out, so what better excuse to get on the bike right.
After cruising around the city for a while I noticed it was around 730 pm and starting to get dark, so I raced the bike back to my storage unit because I don't like being out at night too much until Spring/Summer. After I arrive at my storage locker around 750 pm, I'm excited that I made it back before it got too dark. Upon taking off my helmet, I then realized that the freaking tinted face shield made it look darker than it actually was..... so I actually had about another good 45 min of riding left! I just laughed it off and put the bike back in hiding. My eyes had adjusted to the light....... I'm such a noub!!
Oh yeah, while I was out riding I noticed I was about to run out of gas in the heart of downtown Columbus. In the process of cruising, I was passing a gas station that appeared to come out of nowhere (new tinted faceshield) so I immediately checked my blind spot, checked the mirror and jammed the brakes to make a quick right turn onto a small side street. While I was turning, I noticed a sign that said one way/ DO NOT EBTER.... As I turned I noticed a police car approx 50 yards in front of me driving directly towards me He slowed down and let me turn into the gas station. I immediately hopped off the bike and started acting like something was wrong with it while he observed. After a couple of minutes, he just drove away. Lucky break I guess....
