got a ticket yesterday
i went out to the pittsburgh game on sat/sun. pittsburgh lost. had a pretty good time though. well, by the time me and my bud had gotten back to his house it was 830 or so. the highways were clear but the back roads in PA were kind of slick. the wheels spun and the ABS kicked in pretty easily on the SUV. so, i decided to leave the next day when the roads would be clean. i was on the bike, so leaving the nite before would have been foolish. fun, but foolish. anyway, i decide to get breakfast out near allentown. i was in the mood to go to waffle house. bad idea. it was kind of gross.
get suited up, head down the road and onto rt 22. i'm cruising along, fat, dumb, and happy when i noticed the familiar light bar of a cop in the mirror. nuts. he comes up closer and closer. he's matching my speed, checkin me out. i slow down, he slows down. i see him start to get into my lane and thats when i decide to go into the fast lane and get gone. too late. he stops his lane change and follows my move, hits the light and the siren. figures.
so i pull over and he comes up as i'm taking off my helmet and backpack. license, registration. i ask why he pulled me over while i'm gettin the docs and he points to my sticker on my plate. it's a 5/05 sticker. i then say, NJ doesn't give out stickers anymore. not realizing that they still do for MC's. i figure this out when i can't find my registration. turns out i forgot to get the new registration. stupid. he goes back to the car as i'm still lookin in the hump for stuff. apparently i don't have my insurance ID card in there either. nuts i'm thinkin he can probably impound the bike if i don't have proof. it's at this time that my helmet which was on my backpack which was on the tank, falls off and rolls into the highway and oncoming traffic.
just wonderful. so i go out there with my arm out telling people to slow down and get over so i can get the helmet back. just as i pick it up he gets on the radio and says, why don't you sit on the bike, you're making me nervous. LOL. yeah, just as soon as i run thru traffic to get my helmet.
he comes back and gives me a ticket for no reg. and says that it's a no pointer, it doesn't transfer over to NJ ins or anything. $125. and payment info is on the back. i then thank him. WTF? yeah, i thanked him. for not bustin my balls about no ID card i guess. i still felt dirty though.
made a few more stops, went home and got my ID card and headed out to the DMV. by the time i got outta there it was almost time for an early dinner. so i decided to stay out a little while longer and see if i couldn't get caught in this storm that was supposed to dump 4-8 inches of snow on us. it never came. i just went home. still wondering to myself, who the fuck thanks a cop AFTER they get a ticket.
