Funny story...I got pinched up at the Dragon during the most recent CB1100 Rally, without telling the whole mess of a story, I was going fast enough that they wanted me to return to Maryville TN the following month to appear in court. Nothing to do but do it, So I took a day off work, drove to Tennessee all in one shot without stopping, sat in court for 1.5 hours, paid my ticket, and drove all the way home in one shot.
The funny part was the judge, who had personally threatened me with incarceration if i did not bring my happy rear end all the way up to TN on a Tuesday, actually looked at me with shock and commented that he didn't expect me to show up. He then asked me how much it cost me in gas to drive all the way up there, I told him about $80 round trip, and he knocked that off my ticket.....
i'm not sure whether that was his idea of a favor or an insult.
