I had some fun tonight. I decided to make use of the unseasonably (well this season it really is seasonable) warm weather and take my new bike for a ride. I removed the plate from another one of my bikes and off I went. Well, an officer followed me and ran my plate.
Long story short, the bike was towed back to my house, I wasn't arrested, but I was handed a ticket with: operation of uninsured MV, operation of unregistered MV, improper tags, and, for good measure, estimated 35mph in a 25 mph zone.
Fun times, eh? I'll have a court date sometime in a January and I'll be working overtime in preparation for the worst. The officer counseled me to both insure and register the bike and appear in court with the corresponding paperwork. Doing so could/would result in a reduction of the fines. Anyone have any advice? I have a 100% clean record, no tickets etc. After scanning through RMV site, it looks like I could be paying up to $1000 and losing my license for 60 days Any advice would be appreciated. I've just reaffirmed the old adage of paying for playing. DOH!
