Holy shit batman - $242!  … What!, is the county going to float public health care on speeding ticket revenue!!!!???? Mile post 46, hmmm, let me guess – the straight just before the bridge?Not to jump on the band wagon …. Maybe a ‘blue’ Ducati in your future?  |

The ticket hander-outer was a young cop "in training". They were both nice, just doing their jobs. I could have easily run from these guys, but no, I did the responsible thing and now I pay for it. Maybe I should bring my old AMA roadracing license to court with me and point this out to them  And besides, I ride a RED bike!!!  $242 does seem steep to me - I have not gotten a ticket since 2003 and that was in my 84 Scirocco  Got nabbed once in ~1997 in Virginia by a lady state trooper - she actually thanked me for pulling over and not running. I was going 80+ in a 55, wreckless driving - went to court, she told the judge how nice I was, and I got off with $100 fine. Inflation I guess. | |

| Endorsed Joined: May 2009 From: Albany Oregon I Ride: Is it raining? Not the shiny one! | Deputy Reynolds has grade schooler hand writing, and needs his eyes checked. A lawyer would get it cleared. He has you down being checked with radar. Was he stopped or moving? I wonder if it was recently calibrated and checked for accuracy....... I got the slow blue bike for sure. But my last trip through there was over that quite a bit. Perhaps I too will slow it down a bit. Perhaps. |

I could have lost the guy easy but no, I was being "responsible". I'm thinking if the deputy can't figure out what color my bike is, surely he can't read a radar correctly As for calibration...who knows, but there's a good chance of it being 1 mph off...maybe get my ticket changed from 76 in 55 to 75 in 55 and reducing my fine - at least that's what the mentor deputy told me: it was that extra 1mph that jacked up the fine, and all but one of the judges might reduce it for me. Will see on 8/31 at 9am. 76 sure didn't seem fast, it's not like I was in town or in construction/school zone! I was standing in front of my speeding/qualifying sticker hoping they wouldn't see it  | ||

| Endorsed Joined: Jun 2009 From: Adair Village, OR I Ride: cbr 1000 rr | That sucks. There is always a county working that section especially by the mobile home park. Thats why i don't like leading the pack but second probably isn't much safer. The fine is bad but not the worst, its the damage it does to your insurance that leaves the lasting sting. Way back when Oregon jacked the fines way up i received an 88 in a 55 and the base fine was $500. Actually i just dodged a street racing ticket about six months ago. Never spin your tires down the street in a big smoky exhibition rite in front of a state trooper. They really don't like that but they must hate going to court more because the officer didn't show up and the ticket was thrown out. That was the day i swore off smoking my tires ever again.  Thats not me you cant prove anythign copper. Last edited by ooeddym; 08-13-2009 at 09:42 AM.. |

| Training Wheels Joined: Jul 2009 From: Lebanon, OR I Ride: 2007 Yamaha V-Star Classic 650 | That sounds like it ought to be a standing rule: anyone who gets a ticket in pursuit of a photo tag gets a single beverage of their choice purchased for them at the next bike night by the poster. I don't think it would get out of control, because that would be some expensive brewskis - $242 for one!  |

Ducatichick – You know I got your back on the beer; you know you didn’t have to get a $242 ticket for me to buy you one!  But promise me that you’ll run interference when FreeRadical finds out and begins a chain reaction, dragging me to the curb and beating by ‘blue’ bike owning ass to a bloody pulp. I’ve seen this guy’s profile picture – scares the crap out of me …. Last edited by R1 Jackal; 08-14-2009 at 11:25 AM.. | |

| WMRRA Qualifier Joined: Jul 2009 From: Corvallis, OR I Ride: 08 Hypervibrator | Looks like the high for tomorrow around here is supposed to be 72F. I'm guessing it will be cooler than that in many areas along our ride tomorrow, so bring some extra clothes! duh, this was supposed to be posted for the ride on Sat 8/15...

We saw the flag pole and discussed what the building could be. The new pic sure helps, someone will get it. |

| Endorsed Joined: Oct 2008 From: Corvallis, OR I Ride: Suzuki SV650 | I appreciate it! However, someone's going to get this one and it's not going to be me. The second half of this game is finding the time to grab the camera and take an extra ride just to take a picture of some random object.  |
