• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Silly Question ~ How many of you have gotten a ticket?

My story is kinda funny. My brother warned me about speeding in Daytona during Bike Week but what do I go and do? Hadn't even checked into my hotel yet - was just getting into town and got grabbed on Atlantic Avenue 47 in a 35. Paid a lawyer $150 to have it expunged but still had to pay the fine. :banghead: But my record is clean and that's what really matters.
 
Ticket during Arizona Bike Week

And then again, Bob, you may have a tag light out <rolling eyes>, tail light not working properly, or your windows are improperly tinted justifying a "stop".

...Know the operating condition of your ride... ;)

:lecturef_smilie:and know the rules!



A week after returning from Scottsdale, AZ, received a photo ticket from Scottsdale. Has a nice picture of me and my RT going through an intersection about 10 MPH above the speed limit. The ticket stated no fine, reason...to avoid a collision.
Apparently they have roving vans that can create photo tickets. Then, I remembered, I was in line at the signal when it turned green, as everyone began to accelerate, a fire truck a block in front of us turned on the siren. The car in front of me slammed on the brakes, I did a quick look to my left and quickly changed lanes and accelerated to miss the panicked motorist in front of me. AZ was pretty cool to notice what had happened.
 
Well, I've never been pulled over on the spyder. There have been some times I could have been. I remember once doing about 80 in a 65 on the freeway at night, all lit up. a highway patrol pulled up next to me, matched my speed for a bit, the continued on. I think my lights distract them enough they forget to see if I'm breaking any laws.

I did however get a ticket about two weeks ago. First one in about five years. Was doing 85 in a 65 on a four lane divided straight, flat desert highway with practically no traffic in my work van while going out to a remote city for their fourth service call that week (incredibly frustrating and time consuming because of the distance, nearly 2 hours each way kills most of a day and prevents me from getting much done). HP coming from the other direction turns on its lights. I'm already pulling over before they even finish their U turn. The female trooper was real courteous and professional. Almost wrote in to compliment her. Only ticketed me for 5 over, but didn't list a fine, instead checked mandatory court in a town about 90 miles from where I live. It was cool she only wrote for 5 over, and I probably would have just paid the fine. But I can't go to court out there, so I'm going to contact TicketBusters to go for me and reduce the fine or whatever they do.
