Is what I got a ticket for today 
The light turned yellow and I figured I could make it, turned out there was a policemen on the perpendicular street waiting for his light to turn green. It might have turned red RIGHT before I was in the intersection but eh, I wanna say it turned red just before I made it out.
Any way, he immediately turned on his lights and I even heard his siren.
"nice bike" he says... (hmm, maybe he'll let me off with a warning...especially since he was also riding a bike)
"keep your helmet on, this will only take a sec"
"what year is that? is that a 400 or a 500?"
and nope... he wasn't asking because he was interested, he was asking because he needed to know what to put on the dang ticket!
All well, I think I will try to fight it to avoid paying the fine and taking the point on my license.
I was on my way to get some tools, at least they had a craftsman 1/2 in drive torque wrench for half off, got it for $40.
