Woo-Hoo, What a way to start the year out. Got a ticket for passing in a no passing zone. Was just capping off a nice 50 mile romp on some local backroads and heading for home, when I came upon a slow moving dump truck on a desolate 2-lane road, and zipped on around it. A few seconds later I noticed a "Bear" in hot pursuit with lights-a-flashin (he literally came out of no where!) and my euphoria quickly turned to disgust! Made it 5 hours awake into the new year and got a $150 ticket and 4 points on my record. :dumbass Ah well, I deserved it as it wasnt the first time I've done it, and along with many a brisk illegally paced rides I figured it was only a matter of time! Wont be doing that anytime soon!!! 1st ticket on a motorcycle ever in nearly 20 years riding.............:slap :cry

not bad about the 20 years and no tickets, it just sucks that you had to get one today. Live and learn.

Bummer man

You'd THINK the officer would take into consideration a very slow dump truck and a "desolate" road... But he's just doing his job :shrug
Nice record so far! one ticket per 20 years ain't too shabby. :burnout

 

[lucan(thewolfboy)]

Yeah, I dont know what's worse.....the $150 fine (what happened to $50 tickets anyway? Is there such a thing anymore? Or is that from a time long ago?) a tarnished record, or the fact that Murphy's Law dictates that I will get a 2nd ticket that much quicker!:eek

Murphy's law is gonna kick you square in the pants. The last ticket I had was in 1994, so let's hope you have the same luck.

i did the same thing last year, except I passed to cars doing the speed limit. Luckily, I was back in my lane and on the brakes by the time he got the radar gun on me. Only got a ticket for illegal passing, which turned out to be 1 point and a $50 fine.

you should have made him chase you and earn his paycheck. plus you would have got away with nothing. what an ass for giving you a ticket for passing a slow moving dumptruck on a backroad :rolleyes

I wish!!! But this "state trooper" runs the area around where I live and my bike aint exactly "inconspicuous".....he probably would have drove straight to my house!! And the last thing I need is one of them on my property:badass :laughing

oh that sucks that he knows you. thats why I don't run from the cops in the small town where I am from cause they all know me and my parents so if I run they will just be waiting on me when I get home. Now another town, or state or county they are fair game :redflip

Got the same ticket in Oct. but here in California its much worse, its a 1 point ticket but insurance can increase about $2000 over next three years

Smart. Risking your life (or arrest) to avoid a ticket. :rolleyes
