Woohoo, work week ending a day early since I took tonight's shift off. T-minus 1.5 hours left.

Also got 3 of my Hartge wheels back from refinishing. Had an issue with the 4th and waiting for it today.

Oh SNAP! Haven't been on r3v in 4 months and now there's a E34 section? Has that always been there. God I love R3v!

Your pretty much screwed if you already admitted to speeding to the cop assuming he has a dash cam. But since you said it was a motorcycle cop, I'd still go with not guilty and do trial by declaration or asking the judge for an extension on the court day due to work, school, etc.... Getting an extension will most likely make the cop not show up when you do have to go to court.

I had the benefit of getting pulled over by someone on the night shift although my run in with the law was weird. He pulled me over and I was being polite while talking to him until he started being a dick. He kept trying to get me to admit speeding so I called him out on not having proper calibration on his laser/ radar. The funniest part is when he threatened to tow my car, which I flat out told him, "you can't do that". He finally got tired of trying to get me to incriminate myself and he just wrote the ticket anyways even though the other two cops on the scene told him he could not since he had no proper evidence.
Probably the weirdest thing about this whole situation is that the same cop got a "call" about fireworks going off in the canyon behind my house at night a week or so later while my friend and I were directly outside my house putting his laptop back in his car. Although the guy who wrote me the ticket wasn't there at first, he pulled up as a backup unit while the first cop was questioning us. I asked them why we were being detained and I didn't get an answer until after the 2nd cruiser showed up. Once they finally told me what was going on I told them that they were mistaken and said I could verify it by bringing my parents outside to confirm my story. They did not allow that even though I had my phone on me. I kept asking them at that point if I was free to go. Needless to say by this point the guy who pulled me over the previous week recognized me and I pretty much made the point that the situation was harassment. So the other two cops (who I had no problem with) convinced the cop who originally gave me the ticket to drop the current situation and let me and my friend go. The guy I did have a problem with replied with a sarcastic remark of, "Don't worry, I go to ALL of my court dates". Needless to say I'm pretty sure this is the reason he didn't show up in court.

TLDR version: I don't have a problem with cops, but some are complete assholes. By not incriminating myself along with the other situation probably saved me from a $350 ticket. Anyways... let us know what happens with your ticket man and best of luck.

Lolololololol I never admitted to the cop that I was speeding

Sup, TGIF!

I took the Mtech to Jim's Upholstery shop in San Diego this morning to get an estimate to redo the seats, door cards as well as the inside and outside of the hard top. $2475.00 not counting the rubber for the hard top. OUCH! It's time to sell the '89 Vert (daily driver) so I can get the Mtech to the next level for Bimmerfest.

Cheers,

Jim

bma would have been cheaper and faster no?

your first mistake was ordering rods from san francisco.

They were 20 bucks! This guy was selling them new. Guess he bought them and didn't want them. Idk. I was just going to go to BMA but I saw his add and figured I'd save like 40 bucks. Doesnt look like it payed off though. :(

If you mean instant on, it's not as if you're getting an advantage. You're fucked regardless.
