holy wow!

Luis, I hope your foot gets better ... that is the suxxors.

Nick, d00d! When I got my bad speeding ticket I became really good friends with cruise control. I'm amazed I didn't wear it out by all the usage! I hate to state the obvious, but it really doesn't matter what you get (unless it's Mac's suggestion of the Vespa) but they will all go faster then posted speed limits. Mebbe just some self control?

Don't give up on the 8 just yet. I an on par with you. About 11 tickets within the year now. 4 in january and 2 in february.

Speeding, "Fishtailing" ( is what police call drifting BTW ), Screetching tires, etc etc...etc...

none on my record....

Prepaid legal my friends....I love IT!!!!!! Lawyers can do some amazing things....I did not even have to be there for court sometimes.



Good luck man!!!

I hate the traffic cops in Mundelein. I haven't been pulled over by them yet, but I always get paranoid on Rt45 between 60 and 137. I've even seen them pull over people doing a few miles over the speed limit (35mph), so I always drive like a boy scout between that stretch of road. You can tell who's not local because they're driving over 40mph. I'm waiting for the day they pull me over for not having a front plate.

Ha ha I hear ya... I got pulled over there 3 times there. I used to live in Mundelein. twice I got pulled over by right by the autozone there. They hide around there. I just call my lawyer as the police officer is approaching me and and put it on speaker-phone if needed. The lawyers know what do do in those cases much better than anyone.

You guys should see the look on the officers face when you tell him that you are on the phone with your lawyer to consult him on what to do. They usually don't want to waste their time.

Extremely off topic, anytime I reply in the quick reply the 8club forum suscribes me to this thread and I get an email at every update...I know how to unsuscribe but that doesn't help as the next time I post I get re-suscribed.

Does anyone know how fix it so I do not get auto-suscribed to a thread?

It's not off topic, this is the Lounge. Anything goes.
I looked in the Control Panel and I didn't see any place that this can be turned on or off. Contact one of the Admins to correct this. The Mods don't have the privileges to take care of it.

Go to the User CP, click on "edit options". There is a setting called "Default Thread subscription mode". Set this to "do not subscribe".

bike doesn't look to banged up. you must have some fairly serious frame sliders on there?


That was probably a little more than i needed to see of your foot, BTW.
