Last ticket I got was because someone was 5 feet off my rear bumper, I changed lanes and so did they. Stayed right on my bumper. I accellerated & so did they. When I got to 14 mph over the speed limit, the lights came on. This was at 8:30 at night & the car was unmarked. outcome-horrendous...I am paying civil remedial fees of $2500.00.

Holy crap! You really got screwed there! Is that the game they play there now to collect that ridiculous surcharge to residents? Between that and your other issue, you must really love driving/riding in Va these days. I guess Va isn't for lovers anymore. Not lovers of speed like me, anyway!

Good luck with your issues.

BTW, great story about how you got your CVO! Sounds like you got a real keeper for sure!

Hoist!

Yes, sounds like flyndyna is getting messed with way more than one should.  And the interstate roads are being very heavily monitored around our house, but the back roads ----- the more motorcycle friendly roads, are as always.  And there are a lot of byways here.  Our state has a lot of open land, lots of room between the cities, so there is lots of places to drive ------- not on the highway.  Thank goodness.

$2500 for 14 mph over.....DANG!.  That's sounds pretty extreme for speeding.  That sounds more like a careless or reckless ticket.  
All most sounds like the cop knew what he was doing by tail-gating at night.  He probably knew that you would speed up and change lanes to get away from a tail-gater.  I would seriously think about going to court on that one.

Sadly, it was a DUI, had 6 drinks from a rare night out with an old friend...

[FLYNDYNA]

Good news is it is only one year of restriction, then back to my beloved back roads... NO MORE ELBOW TIPPING OFF PREMISES

Oh...as Paul Harvey would say "And Now For The Rest Of The Story"
"Good Day"

Yep, sounds like the cop was trying to provoke drivers when they couldn't tell it was a cop.

[FLYNDYNA]

Not on the bike...wouldn't do it...

Qutoe from GOV KANE-- "Law and fee's were a bad idea!!!!", Law to be overturned and (extra$$$) fines to be refunded as soon as as 07/01/08

[FLYNDYNA]

Is that a definite? That would be awesome...I'm thinking engine mod's with the refund...

Really?  The gov said bad idea?  Wow, thanks for pointing that out.

[VAZHOG]

Yeah, He made that statment to the VA leg when it opened and the VA house will kill it and have for his sig before the session closes

[FLYNDYNA]

That would be a real first in Virginia legislature, actually admitting to a mistake and correcting it!?!

Thanks a bunch Howie...looking forward to meeting everyone once the "chains that bind" are removed. Pretty bummed that I won't be riding with you guys this spring/summer/fall. She is a really special woman, met her on November 14th 2003. Was out with friends getting ready to leave a restaurant and go jam out when I felt like God had put his hand on my shoulder and said "go to her"...left my friends & went to the place I felt compelled to go to. closser I got, the stronger the feeling got. I walked in, saw her sitting at a table, walked over and took her hand and kissed it and said "you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, and I just had to tell you that. Now I don't know what else to say, so I bid you goodnight..." I sat down, she walked over to me a few minutes later and said "you can not say that and just walk away"...we talked, danced, and finally kissed at 11:40 pm that Friday night. We got engaged January 23rd 2004, married March 15, 2005 and have been completely blessed and in love since. She felt compelled to go out that night, although she rarely ever goes out. My angel!
