can you say dumb ***?

 

Here in Philadelphia, they can impound your vehicle for expired or cancelled registration, it's called a "Live Stop".. doesn't matter if it's a bike or car.

you said you never let your insurance lapse.. check with your provider. Even though you paid for a years worth of coverage, if the registration is not valid, the insurance is not in effect. I've handled quite a few accidents involving people with suspended registrations or licenses.. and at court they found out their insurance companies took the loop hole and denied coverage.

 

At this point everybody has pretty much beat you up on the deal. Now the bottom line.

1) Pay the fine and move on.

2) Go to court and explain you have corrected everything and throw yourself on the mercy of the court as this is a financial burden to you. I assume you have some free time, nothing to loose. If not it will cost more from not working and general waste of time.

There you have it in a nut shell, good luck and as I always try to live by " never repeat the same mistake".[sm=vader.gif]

Man,i can relate. I been down the same road. I think all people are saying at this point is to suck it up,pay dues... Then back to riding and having a great time.

 

Living in Ontario, you must love paying excessive 'taxes'. I've read they made the speeding fines even more insane than when I lived there a few years back.

As for the original post, as I'm sure you realize, you fugged up. Maybe you weren't doing 65 in a 40 zone. However I don't believe that is what got your bike impounded. It was riding an unregistered vehicle. I don't figure you have a leg to stand on, to fight that one. Lesson learned the hard way. (as the valuable ones seem to be...)

 

didn't see you got it back, consider it a cheap learning lesson- just pay registration next year!!

Plus you live in SoCAL, come how cold does it really get, I was riding in December!!

On the other issues(pipes, beanie,etc.), it's more about attitude.
