So you're saying that even though there are extenuating circumstances that show the kid intended to get his endorsement and not just re-upping his temps every year while willfully riding outside of the permit you would just roll over and pay the fine AND take the insurance hit? Fuck that. Sure, the kid was a bit of an idiot for not reading the card, but that doesn't mean there's not wiggle room here.

you gotta pay extra for that. looks like some peruvian kid's going hungry tonight...

gotta keep it fresh, sometimes you have the yellow fever, other times you want the milk chocolate.

Just looked up the mayor's courts, it looks like if you got popped in BG you're going to the Wood County Muni court, BG doesn't do mayor's court. Same advice applies. For some reason I thought you were in Westerville, my bad there.

hopefully the charger is a low amps trickle. any idea what caused the drain?

First off, my instructors at the State class at ODOT, one of which is a Columbus cop for his day job, were very clear on the "this is not an endorsement" deal. I'm not doubting your guy said differently, but it is what it is. That being said, go to the BMV, get your endorsement, then take that AND THE CLASS CARD (they won't take it at the BMV, you might need that to copy to your insurance to get a discount, hint hint) and plead not guilty. If you're going to mayor's court, they will (or should) ask if anyone wants their case remanded to Franklin County Municipal. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO THIS. Once you're in FCMC, plead not guilty, get your real court date, go in EARLY and talk to the prosecutor and explain what's up. I'm willing to bet either the cop doesn't show, or the prosecutor or judge will give you a severely reduced charge or toss the entire thing. There are 2 reasons why you want FCMC instead of the bullshit kangaroo mayor's court: 1: The cop doesn't have to show in Mayor's court. There's one badge there, and he speaks for the entire department. In real court, your accuser is there front and center. 2. Mayor's courts, IMHO, are borderline illegal. A mayor is not a judge, and there's an inherent conflict of interest with someone who is in charge of the town and its budgets also levying penalties and fines. My only dealing with FCMC, I had a statie pull me over for a headlight out and decided that I wasn't wearing my seatbelt because I took it off immediately after I was pulled over and stopped to get my shit out. Upon telling him that, he wavered a little but still wrote the ticket. I showed up for court and he didn't.

the rocker is reserved especially for you. As a fellow nerd, Ben gets the spocker.

No. Two fingers for keeping two tires on the ground or shiny side up. Flat hand or other variation waves are OK as well, as long as the waving gesture is given. No other meanings.

I give them the show stopper.

say hi to joran van der slut. be sure to give him a dutch rudder.

I'm totally going to blog about this in my picture thread.

they can polish the nawzzz bewst all they want, I'll just keep adding more. I'm down.

not anymore. anyone want to start a web ring? we can party like it's 1994!

It really tears me up that I can't make it to this. I'm pretty much the only one here in the department today, and I've already had to defuse one mini-crisis this morning. I'm happy I could at least make it to the showing. Shawn, my condolences once again.

I swear to god, if I see one person start to break out in song, I'm calling CR and going berserker on everyone there.

My sentiments as well. I'll hook up with you this week and get you that female wire harness piece and some of those heatshrink sealing butt connectors if you want to replace the spade connectors on the actuator. The smile at 1:30AM in the shop did it all for me.

Absolutely incredible work.

Assuming that both sides have free and clear titles, just go to a notary and sign the titles over to each other. You will have to "declare" the amount of the transaction, basically the value of the bikes in question in order for the Man to compute tax and get his cut. Or you could just say it was 500 bucks and call it a day.

That's cool. You have your opinion, I have my facts. I get nothing out of trying to convince you otherwise, so I won't.

I'm somewhat surprised yours wasn't the VFR in question.

i'm home, therefore I'm in.

it's cool, i stole one of those little lobster forks you get at Red Lobster. just the right size.

For that earworm, I am going to eat your heart.

I hope he is dumb enough to go to the Cleveland LeBrons and utterly destroy his career.
