RE: Modified Exhaust/Non DOT Helmet Ticket
That's why every bike rider should be a member of a motorcycle rights organization. I'm a life member of MMA of AZ. It's a numbers game. The more members an organization has, the more power it can flex with the legislators. There are local organizations just look them up.
MMA - Modified Motorcycle ***.
ABATE - American Brotherhood Aimed Toward Education
AMA - American Motorcycle ***.
MRF - Motorcycle Rights Foundation

Ill bet they had a set number of citations they had to write. It kinda sounded like the copper in question was probably just trying to go after the most aggregious violaters, hence his comment of your scoot not being as loud as he orrigionally thought, but once he had you on the line he was deffinately gonna land you.
Tough luck.
On a side, Love that Black and Blue combo. My favorite. Does the tail of that front fender drag on big bumps? Sweet scoot.

Too bad you got ticketed. But if you play, you gotta pay.
Now for a couple little factoids.
The state/CHP does not get the money from tickets, the county they are written in gets the money, so San Bernardino will get the money if you have to pay a fine.
THERE ARE NO QUOTAS. Quotas are illeagal. Officers are expected to work, and they know there are people out there doing things against the law, so each officer should be able to write a few tickets each day.
They can only deal with the person they have stopped. While your being written, the officer is not going to stop writting and chase down someone else who has louder pipes or another minor violation.
Now before the flaming starts, I'm not an officer. Just know a few things both from experience and knowing a few officers.
Your fines might also be dismissable with proof of correction. Look at your ticket and see if the box is checked dismissable. If so, get it signed off and it is only $10 I think.

It's sad that we have "lost" our local, state and federal gruberment to "GREED". It's ALL (everything to do with the government) about the "money".
We are double taxed to death yet few complain.

That's the dummest tickets I have ever heard of. He just needed to meet his quota.

RE: Modified Exhaust/Non DOT Helmet Ticket
Why in the F*uck would anyone wear a non-DOT helmet? Sh*t, if your going to put up with the helmet laws, you might as well comply with the DOT requirement. Let's see, I will wear a metal bucket on my head (dot), or I will wear a plastic bucket on my head (non-dot). It still feels like a bucket.
