Over 2 years ago I got caught being a idiot on my road bike (unregistered race bike) at a xmas party, I was doing some nice big mono's and burnouts ect, when it seemed like half the police force decided to rock up... doh!
As well as closing the road for 3-4 hours whilst they photographed and measured the "damage", the cops even had a aeroplane fly over and take photo's of the "damage" for use as evidence....
Well after all this time, I got pulled over riding tonight and ended up getting arrested on a warrant over this, because the slack copper reckons he couldn't find me to serve a summons... Funny how I lived at the same address for 5 years and heard nothing.... Lazy prick... Anyway they hit me with 10+ charges and a $6000 bill to clean the road
Anyway here is the charges they've hit me with:
1.Reckless Conduct Endangering Life - Recklessly engage in conduct namely in the manner and speed that he rode a motorcyclye that may have placed persons in danger of death
2. Fail to keep left - Drive on a road and fail to keep left of center of the two-way road without dividing line
3. Drive Unroadworthy vehicle - Drive a vehicle on a highway that was not a safe a roadworthy condition.
4. Drive a vehicle in a manner as to cause unecessary smoke.
5. Drive Unregistered vehicle
6. Drive a motorvehicle in a manner dangerous - Drive in a manner that was dangerous to the public.
7. Speeding - 130km/h in a 60 zone (Thats their guess from the vid)
8. Reckless conduct endangering serious injury - Recklessly engage in conduct namely in the manner and speed that he rode a motorcyclye that may have placed persons in danger of serious injury
9. Criminal damage - $6,720 worth of damage to the road they reckon.
10. Intentionly damage property without lawful excuse
What a load of dog do, what you think they where out to get me? Even the policeman who arrested me tonight said and I quote "Geez, you got the short end of the stick over some measly burnouts. Those TMU (traffic management unit) guys don't think like the rest of us sometimes." and they where quite nice about it all, asked about how I can afford the tyres, how long I been riding ect and then gave me a lift back to my bike as they felt sorry for me... All in all, its going to be expensive so don't do burnouts kiddies !
BTW, because it happened so long ago I figured they had given up on me, I now blame AusFMX! I told him this story today and was saying how I reckon I got away with it... 2 hours later I'm in the police lockup... double doh!
The so called damage: (I might try call it art in court )
