Ain't gonna happen. Shortly after I posted that he blew up my phone with excuses. Has to wash his hair, his riding gear is at the cleaners, it's that time of the month.....all kinds of BS.

Dinner here on Sat night... http://coalcreeksmokehouse.com/

You and me, both. Fuck that liquid cooled piece of shit.

Take out the garbage ya bum

I am off work, we can be there in no time and you can drive it home today. Better yet, just ride bitch to Cbus and we keep going. We could pick it up Thursday morning and still meet Joe on time.

I had a guy show up with an entire binder of pictures and other shit. None of it was provided to me as discovery, but the guy didn’t even attempt to introduce it, let alone move to admit any of it. He asked 2 “questions” of the Officer. Both were objectionable, and the officer never had to answer either. The guy got frustrated, sat down, and was found guilty on all counts. He tried to play lawyer and trialed himself into a much higher charge than i had offered to amend to. Like i said, i endorse speaking with the prosecutor, but you have to take the right tone with that, and make it clear that you’re willing to resolve the case in a reasonable manner.

You don’t NEED a lawyer, but you do need to be prepared to find out how much procedural bullshit you don’t expect. You can make oral motions on the record, but unless the prosecutor agrees, the judge is unlikely to grant them. You can file a written motion, but then it must be properly served, with a proof of service attached, and enough time for the opposing party to respond. You can try a case yourself as well, but you still have to follow the rules of evidence and procedure. The judge will explain the rules to you, but they can’t “help” you. And just like i probably couldn’t walk into your place of employment and do your job as well as you can, it’s unlikely that you’re going to walk into a courtroom and out-lawyer a prosecutor. I fully endorse taking a human approach and asking if a reduced charge is a possibility, with an agreed fine, etc., but “just plead not guilty and hope the cop doesn’t show up” seems to be a wide-spread misconception about how traffic court works.

Izzy's already prepped for winter. And is track legal and can go back to 100% street in 30 minutes. Clearly the perfect bike. Buy her back if ya want. I'll be headed for adventure time with my man @B-Mac soon.
