SilvrT Posted February 21, 2009 #1 Posted February 21, 2009 It caused me to get a speeding ticket yesterday...first one in about 25 years! $196 ... OUCH!!! Glad the cop gave me a break otherwise it could have been almost $400 !
waterbug Posted February 21, 2009 #2 Posted February 21, 2009 How is that I keep getting told I am going slower than the speedo says? I am still getting a radar detector for it just to be safe.
SilvrT Posted February 21, 2009 Author #3 Posted February 21, 2009 How is that I keep getting told I am going slower than the speedo says? I am still getting a radar detector for it just to be safe. What PO's me is that I KNOW the radar cops hang out at this spot but I was so enjoying the ride, the tunes, and the sound of my RK's that I wasn't paying attention ...until it was too late. They got me doing 140 in a 100 zone (kilometers that is) and I was starting to slow down LOL.
waterbug Posted February 21, 2009 #4 Posted February 21, 2009 Glad you put in the Kil I was starting to think you were doing 140 mph and the limit was 100? I was woundering were that was I was going to have to make a road trip!!!! I completely understand on getting into a zone its easy to do!! You could try to plead insanity?? Just a thought. Good luck

scotty Posted February 21, 2009 #7 Posted February 21, 2009 I really like my electronic cruise control. I am convinced that it saves me about $400 a week.

MidlifeVenture Posted February 21, 2009 #11 Posted February 21, 2009 Just a warning I have a friend who is an officer and they have been told to up the # of tickets they write to help cover the cites lack of income so he's even writing for under 10 over even if there are no points it brings a couple of dollars in and he says it may help keep a friends job.
SilvrT Posted February 21, 2009 Author #12 Posted February 21, 2009 In your case, I would definatley try the insanity defense...lol:rotf: Awrite... who's been tellin ya all about me????

Good thing you weren't in Ontario Rick, just 10 more klicks and your bike would have been impounded for 7 days and you would have been charged with street racing, which carries a hefty fine. Ian
trucker 41 Posted February 22, 2009 #14 Posted February 22, 2009 good thing you didn,t get a silver one they,re really fast. lol.:happy-emoticon:
petekadish Posted February 22, 2009 #15 Posted February 22, 2009 Go with the "Insanity" plea, and then offer the to give the judge a ride on the next beautiful day. Perhaps after the ride ... he'll understand. Pete.
N3FOL Posted February 22, 2009 #16 Posted February 22, 2009 Sorry to hear about your speeding ticket. I take it easy these days...cops are very thirsty to give speeding tickets especially in this worldwide economy situation. If you use the Insanity defense...they might take away your bike. Ride safe and we all learn from our mistakes. Regards.
Rocket Posted February 22, 2009 #17 Posted February 22, 2009 In your case, I would definatley try the insanity defense...lol:rotf: Awrite... who's been tellin ya all about me???? You did........... After all, you did buy a 2nd gen & that should be more than enough, to qualify..............
Dano Posted February 22, 2009 #18 Posted February 22, 2009 hmmmmmm do these 2nd gens actually do 140 Miles per hour?? ... I'll have to check that out! Just jump on the 1st gen and see what it's like, first! Then, when you manage to get close to it on a 2nd gen, you won't be as disappointed in not reaching it!
