    or like most folks that are cited dont want to contest the infraction. I'd be curious what they could do if you didn't pay them? Wait for you to return?

    I thought about it but the whole EU is tied together and that is the last thing I need is entering the EU for work and get taken away at the immigration! lol

    In Moochagain you got 85 yr old dudes high on viagra doing 85 in their million dollar RV in left lane, passing every semi in sight while towing a car behind it

    And I've never, ever, seen one get pulled over

    Very, that's why I prefer 1/3 world places, laws are a loose guidelines, and if the shit really hits the fan 100 USD can get you out of anything

    Oh come on now Tony. A lot of them are at their peak fitness and in their 70's. :)
    Perhaps you missed C.M. saying he's quit drinking.

    My buddy and I were going to circle the great lakes in three day on our bikes. (Actually just Erie and Ontario). We got busted 40 miles from home at 95 in a 55 zone. The Statie was cool and lets us go with our tickets as he could of sent us to the pokie. We went to court and took the front wheel of my friends GS1100 with us in a black garbage bag. The State cop gave his testimony and we asked him if he could do a field calibration of his radar gun. He could and they use a small tuning fork that vibrates at 55 mph to set span and shoot a wall to set zero. AH, we say, so you can actually see something that small? He thinks we're going to argue he can't see a MC, but no! We pull the wheel , with its large cast spokes, out of the bag and show the magistrate that that's why he got such a large speed on his radar gun. She (the magistrate was a women) looks confused so we have to explain that the wheel goes faster (at least at the top) than the bike...TWICE AS FAST! We think we're in the clear until she asks us, just how fast were you going? We didn't figure out that part of our lie.....GUILTY, but only for 20 over so we got to keep our licenses.

    I was a bad kid got a dui at 17, then paid cash for 1997 gsxr 600 because in Florida if it's paid for you don't need insurance. Let's just say I never got a speeding ticket on it. Then got older a little smarter and found track days and ccs

    Past Glory I still have several AVON calendars from the 90's

    When one approaches a stop sign and has sufficient sight lines to see there is no traffic from either the left or right, a slow roll is acceptable. I believe the Department of Driving Efficiency would approve.

    Fuck this continent of 4 way stops. Go drive in Europe….was driving in Spain and I swear to god I only fully stopped once or twice in 4 hours of country roads. It’s all roundabouts and yield signs.
    “Oh, North Americans are too stupid to know how to use those….”

    so Europeans are smarter? That’s your excuse?
    I am glad to see them popping up in Ontario last 5 years or so.

    Just got my brand new 2000 Gixxer 750...headed to Leakey for some twisted sisters fun with a buddy. As we headed back to town on RR 337 W the road opens up and we were probably doing 110 (55 posted limit) when we came around the corner and saw "Jake the snake". (as locals called him) He didn't arrest us but it was a 45 over the limit speeding infraction. I believe I paid $275 to the local judge for my indiscretion. I think I immediately stopped that nonsense and went club racing.

    I swear most Nashvillians never stop at a stop sign but they always stop at a roundabout. Or at the end of an exit ramp.

    They're all over suburban DFW. It's pitiful. Some idiots stop no matter what, some go no matter what. I just leave my dashcam on and follow the rules. I've fielded a couple of calls on myself for driving like a maniac in the company truck. :crackup::crackup::crackup:

    Funny to listen to the embellishments on every driving complaint call and compare it to the dashcam footage.

    I have outstanding tickets in Spain and Italy. Got the notices in the mail well after the due dates so just said fuck it, not paying. Haven't had any issues going to Germany for work since then though.
