Ciao Chip,
You could have gone to court and tried contesting it. You never know, you could won!
Ciao for now

Chip aka Lord Speed Demon :-)

Keep you head low pal, -- unfortunately you may find that your insurance rates take a pop if they get wind of this Chip. They have a tendency to keep those rates high for young Jedi's like yourself.

Good luck, (and I'll keep my eyes open for you (hehe).

Congratulations Chip. Any chance of a pic?
I used to zoom all over the place when I had my motorbike and never got caught. Then when I had my last car which needed a tail wind to get up to the speed limit I got caught running a red light by one of those cameras. Typical of my luck!

No pics, and I am not putting the ticket on here so all of you can laugh at me. :-)

It was pretty cool though, because there were troopers on motorcycles, and the troopers we have up here are only driving cars, no cycles. So in all actuallity i was checking out the bike cop, and it was a bike cop that laser radared me.

Steve, know where it was? By the Wendy's in Chippewa. I mean like anyone ever goes the limit through there anyway.

It was a learning deal though!
