@Choca, I'll definitely let you know. Not planning on getting a scooter until maybe late fall, early winter (better pricing). So, no twisties until next summer. I grew up in MI, so I know how fun the "B" & "C" roads can be in the MidWest.

With a lawyer you stand a better chance of yoru grades counting for something.
I disagree. Last speeding ticket I got, the lawyer cost me $650 and did nothing to help my case. Never again.

Choca, I bet you know where the good roads are... do you think you can rattle off a few to take my A8 to really test its handling and acceleration prowess? One ticket isn't keeping me out of the game, I'm addicted

I got nailed for 72 in a 55 in late November. Plea bargained down to 5 over, reduced fine, and no points.

I may be biased by the results of my last speeding ticket: $400.00 fine + $200.00 court costs + 1 day lost work ($40/hr x 8hr = $320.00) + Misc (gas to court that was not in my vicinity + lunch = $30) vs. lawyer @ $550.00 for 80mph/55mph in VA...

No-brainer.

My PD shares dispatch w/ Wooster! Jazz, here speeding along with most other MM Traffic is about a $100 fine, One city alone here has about $1,000 of mine! Only time it really gets more is DUI (2nd offense +) and anything w/ reckless op.
