Unhappy Ticket Week

This past week-end I ducked into a store for a few minutes without feeding the meter,and boom 52$. But today I was just buzzing along when a cop steps out in front waves me down and nails me 154$ for having modified my pipes! I was in a high end neiborhood mind you,but I told the guy I am getting the quiet baffle installed in a day or two can you just give me a chance and i'll take it wherever you want so you can see it hear it and have proof I'm not lying to you,but nothing doing.....ahh well what's a guy going to do? He did say your lucky I'm letting you off for the 275$ ticket for having a rear tire worn well beyond the wear limit. LOL it does have a good 2" bald spot down the middle of the tread. I gues I wouldn't be laughing so hard if I skidded out ( knock knock na knock on wood)

I let my rear tire get bad.

A guy I met said "what's the sense in owning such a nice bike if you can't even afford a tire for it?"

Good point, but sometimes the bills are high.

I'm glad nobody ever says anything about my pipes...

I'd hate to live in an area where pipes are an issue.... or where I'd have to pay to park.

As far as tickets go, I've had three in about six weeks, all for speeding and none on the motorcycle.

I just really wish people would press their government to stop the speed trap mentality and let people get where they're going as quickly as safely possible and pay for the government they want out of their own pocketbook and not innocent travelers.

ATTENTION COPS......wonder where your bad rap comes from???? Wonder why so many people are against "the man"?? Wonder no more.

Sorry, every time I hear about these cops with their compensating for having no ***** I get a little bent.
In our town...COPS and Harley owners have a special relationship...specially over pipes, you have to be very crafty with the trottle when you are around them

Hey, best thing to do is go to any PD sponsored or affiliated events. Start meeting and greeting. Guys, truth be told, we are not 1% er's ok. Go to these events, you'll be suprised how many riders are in Fact LEO's Sorry to hear you got tagged. Some townships are just nickel and dime'n and look for revenue anyway they can.

54 bucks for a freakin parking ticket...Jeeesus. Even if that is Canadian funny money, it's still about $50 US. The nearest town I have to pay the meter in is Athens, Ga and if you don't the fine is only $3.

I believe I'd be getting the hell outta Dodge, or Quebec for that matter.
