Too loud for a WOF?

Admitting to "full race exhaust" on a street bike may work against you.
Just saying.

Might be worthwhile getting VIR to do a WOF before going to court...

good luck man! i have added some thoughts for you to think about.
if you need to know how loud you bike is drop me a line tonight 0274825163 and i can meet you some where i have a digital sound meter to get a reading from it.
i would say in light of the fact they don't have a hard reading of your speed, ask for the case to be dropped at this point, if not then do as the other fellow says plead not guilty and seek legal advice. to fight it.
if this goes on your record insurance will be a bitch as well as police will have it on record and it will come up everytime you get pulled over.

i would be say full road legal race exhuast sound better

A judge won’t read that letter it’s to long, try and keep it short

I don’t know the details (other than what’s in your letter) but I would try something like the attached

Good luck.

That last version of the letter is the one to go with.. short and simple is good, you dont want to piss the judge off. the same goes with police. I was arrested for tresspassing in a quarry whilst taking a shortcut home from ruapuna which ended up with the cop getting a telling off from the judge for wasting the courts time, I was discharged without conviction. So really it can go both ways depending on the judge. I reckon with the police having only circumstancial evidence, you'd get off easy. It is 'innocent until proven guilty' and with no solid evidence theyd be real C$NTS to convict you of it.
