Default so i made a wheelie, and my license plate ripped itself off

i went for a long *** ride yesterday, got wasted afterward, so i left my bike at my buddies. well, i went to pick it up today and he goes, "dude wtf happened to your license plate"

so it seems, my bike does not like to wheelie i can get her up and balance her alright, but after my ride yesterday i decided i to go a little higher, i mean like 11 or 12 so, i get her up and it feels okay, but im not comfortable that high yet. so i set it down...fastforward today.

there are two screws that hold the lic plate bracket to my exhaust, well it seems when i was on one, the lic plate hit the tire, which acted like a conveyer belt, and ripped it sideways

oops

i dont know why i posted that, im a squid.

Yeah, I had the same problem with the ninjet, I never lost any screws, it eventually just bent the plate so many times the aluminum backer I used as a hanger fatigued and ripped in half.

Well, did you go on 512 past the Puyallup Fair and thru Puyallup? I dont remeber seeing numbers, but I didn't look too closely. The 749 passed me on the left pretty fast, then i caught up and was behind it .. then it broke off into the right lane and sped off .. i went to follow but got cut off by a truck.

The 749 was alone, no other bikers.
