Indeed they did. It was the most fun ride I've had, though, so I'm quite content with it! Ahh, okay. Cool. I'll have to hit it up again sometime.

Good call!

Even Best Buy does this. Website says it's in stock at the store, you go in and it's not there. Systems like this aren't automatic. Not even just online retailers - happens to big-box places too.

They may be 'paved', but that doesn't mean there wasn't an entire strip of gravel ABOVE the pavement!! :repent: And to your comment at the top, I almost wish my ZX6R would take knobbies for those roads. BUT I have to give you, Rob and Tom thanks. I appreciate you guys letting me come along and not smoking me. I feel like my entire definition of twisties has been changed, and yesterday was definitely the most improvement I feel I've ever gotten in one ride. Thanks! (And don't forget me on future rides! ) (Also, is that route sheet you gave Tom and I from the McDonald's? Or where does that start?)

You make it sound like I didn't want you there! Good ride guys! Had a ton of fun.

Damn right. NICE edits!

Ah, shit. Didn't even bother checking the location. You got me. You got me.

Hey, I figure there might be a 10% chance of it being true. Honestly, if somebody did know him, I couldn't care less. He'd probably get a laugh out of the thread himself.

Don't know if kidding, or serious. If serious, send him my apologies; though I'd say you're just a darned troll. As much as if I was in his position I wouldn't do the same thing, he really was a nice guy and I don't want to be just another asshole in his book. Regardless, I'm going to fight it. I feel like there has to be a reason they blatantly put the wrong street and # of lanes. Perhaps they planned on it being thrown out? And if that's so, how should I go about trying to get it thrown out? I don't understand the whole "prosecutor will do it" thing - is that the 'judge' giving the sentence or is that somebody else?

I would, but unfortunately have some school stuff to deal with until 11:00 AM. Otherwise, I'd be all in for earlier.

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll respond to your PM obviously, haha. Love me some zombies and meth heads!

Not 'run.' It literally took them 2 minutes to get into my apartment complex. They were dealing with another ticket and caught it on radar. I could have easily just kept riding the speed limit and they wouldn't have found me. It's not like I was suggesting a high-speed chase. ------ And thank you whoever modded the title. Gave me a good giggle when I woke up. I really have nothing against this cop - he was a nice guy. I just had a pissy fit. Glad I can give you guys a nice laugh at my momentary ignorance, though. ------ Now, all of this 'prosecutor' stuff. I honestly have a very vague knowledge of the court system. Is the prosecutor the 'judge' I go to in traffic court, or somebody outside of it? I'm probably going to point out the wrong street name and # of lanes, suggesting that if it WAS a 4-lane road the speed limit sure as hell wouldn't be 25.

VERY good point. I'm honestly just wondering how the heck he would have gotten the street COMPLETELY wrong. (To where I don't even know where that street is.) Possible intentional error? Keep in mind this Mick XXXXXX guy is in his first 3 months where he's riding with another cop.

I will try all of that. I really don't want to be out a few hundred. And eh, he really was a nice guy. I wouldn't have done it the way he did, but still. As said in like every above post, I just got hotheaded. My last 2 cop encounters were the REAL dicks.

My insurance is in effect, I just had no idea that the card would have expired. Alrighty, so basically just figure out why he would have wrote down the wrong street and # of lanes. That REALLY makes absolutely no sense to me. Like, at all. I don't even know where this "Pebble Spring" road is. I fail to believe that writing the wrong street name AND the wrong # of lanes is 'no big deal.' Read my above posts - I know I did wrong. When I wrote most of that, it was more hot-headed. But, it makes for a better story where I come off as ignorant.

I was a little hot-headed when I wrote the title, came back a few hours later to finish and didn't edit it. If any moderator would want to edit that for me to something less rude. And trust me, I waited until AFTER he handed me the ticket to bitch. I think I was honestly more pissed at myself for not just keeping on riding away when I easily could have. I know it's my fault at this point, I just think in my shoes I would have given someone a firm warning on a bike knowing that they COULD HAVE went away. I don't know, but I do know it's my fault now. Again, just a little hot-headed. The main thing I'm wondering about now is why the heck he'd put down the WRONG road name AND the wrong # of lanes?

So, as I was riding home today I pass by a cop behind another car with their door open at 41 mph on the speedo, over the yellow line so as to be respectful to the cop, park it in my apartment parking lot, begin walking in, and then I hear a honk. Look around, there's 2 of Miami Township's finest pulling in. They come out, tell me I was "40 in a 25 and failing to yield to a stationary public safety vehicle." I tell them the truth, that I had no idea it was 25 through there; I had never seen a sign. It is a street that honestly SHOULD be 35. (Turn off of 741 at Cadillac Jack's, that road.) They don't give a shit, take my license, go in the car and tell my freezing ass to kick it by the bike. I go up to the window in the middle of it and tell them again that I had absolutely no idea it was 25 or else I would have abided by it. They tell me "What's your driving record like?" I have a ticket for failure to dim headlights and one for leaving my key in the ignition. I don't have a bad driving record, asshole. So they tell me to go away again. I do, and wait. He gets out of his car and hands me the ticket. I get a little smart-mouthy about how it's kind of BS they're giving me a ticket when I had no idea I did anything wrong; I say that if I did, I wouldn't have just parked my bike (it took 'em like 2 mins to get after me). What they should have done is just scold me imo - I really could have EASILY gotten away without any effort. So we go through the whole shiz of that, "meeting your quota," "better things to do," etc. etc. Nice guys it seemed, but their ticket was an asshole move in my eyes. They dismiss me, etc. I have to go to court because my insurance card was expired. Now, I'm mainly looking for opinions on what to do. Go to court? Print out new insurance card and just pay the fees? What confuses me is that, on the ticket, the "Highway" is listed as "Pebble Springs". I don't even know that road. The 'offense' happened on "Ferndown Dr", a two-lane road. They listed it as having 4 lanes. Wtf? (Which is something else I commented on. Why are they pulling someone over on a 2-lane road and expecting me to fully yield when I have to go into the next lane to pass anyways - which I did.) So yeah. Opinions?

Well, I do love me some twisties and good views both. So just set up something nice to tear up. Having a good spot to stop and take pictures every once in a while isn't bad at all, though! And I'll probably be down in the Cinci area (or could be) by like 12, and I only need to be back home by 6. I love all-day rides, so you can choose the hours haha.

I did indeed. I haven't had time to see the footage yet, though. I'll scavenge it and post it here soon.

Will do, sir! At least you get the weekends, unlike stupid high school jobs. With Best Buy there is no consistency in my schedule at all.

Sounds fine to me. Thurs DOES look marginally better. I'll probably scope out Caesar's tomorrow!

This whole week is looking pretty good right now sun-wise, if only ten or twenty degrees colder.

Sounds good to me. Obviously preferred a little closer to home, BUT hell if I'm going to say no to learning some new roads. I've got literally all day both days. When are you available?

Okay, so I've posted like 5 events in the past weekend. So what? I've got Tuesday and Thursday both off. Both days are looking good clear-and-sunny-wise, but Tuesday is forecasted a bit colder. Doesn't matter to me. But, if anybody would want to meet up and ride I'd be completely up for it. I'll more than likely be scoping out some new roads at Caesar's Creek. (Yesterday's ride out from Troy got me wondering on what else I could find.) Figured I'd post it up early for anybody that would want to make plans!

Had a good time when I was actually able to stay. Stupid work called. BUT I realized that Caesar's Creek has some awesome roads that I need to explore. I tried searching some out before and couldn't find any!
