I was flying down my hill practicing (and mastering) a full 360 and keep going. Someone half way down had put in a new sewer and there was sand and gravel in the road. It was so perfect I couldn't stop myself! But I figure I'm pushing my luck so I take it to the house. I go in and no more than come back out and see the popo rollin' slow. He saw my kart in the drive, stopped and backed up quick. He sees me and says, "I should have known it was you."(we had an incident before, long story, makes me look stupid but funny)
He says he didn't care but there was a complaint so he had to follow up. All week I was eyeing up neighbors to see who blew me in. Turns out it was my neighbor's renter. My neighbor hates cops so he came and apologized on her behalf. To make it up to me offered me a chipper shredder with a 7hp Briggs on it. I wouldn't take it. So, he asked me to weld something for him and paid with the shredder.
We have become great friends because of the incident.
I dug this up from an old, closed thread about being caught by the cops. Sadly, I lost this great neighbor and friend this week. Was just reflecting on how a go-kart made us friends for the rest of his life. He is dearly missed...
