This has been one of those weekends I would rather see disappear.  Everything seems to be going wrong this weekend.  To top it off Hubby got pulled over on Highway 11 Friday, and he got a ticket for $230, but I have a feeling this one may be getting thrown out.

First of all he was pulled over by a state trooper who decided to be a total dick.  He walked around the bike 3 times, and he wrote down everything on the ticket that he thought was wrong with the bike and why it wasn’t street legal.  Out of all of the things he wrong down NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM ARE REQUIRED BY LAW IN SOUTH CAROLINA!

The trooper says Hubby was running “defective equipment” because he was only running 1 mirror, no turn signals on the rear, and no side fairings.  As for the fairings…um naked bike anyone?

In South Carolina you are only required to run ONE mirror, and the law doesn’t specify which side you must run.  As for the turn signals, they are also not required.  We’ve heard a lot about cops profiling motorcycles on Highway 11, and no we  know it’s definitely true.  The cop had absolutely no reason to pull Hubby over, and he never even blue lighted him.

Hubby was pulling over on the side of a dead end road right off Hwy 11. to call me to let me know where he was, and when he gave his hand signal to turn onto the shoulder of the  road the cop pulled in behind him, and started questioning him about why he was pulling over, what he was doing on Highway 11, where he was going, and why he was operating “defective equipment”.

You better believe this is one we’ll be fighting!
