And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

unless you can prove it.
Doh!!
As I was told after my first ticket, "you're not a proper Kiwi until you have at least one ticket". Then again I'm a bloody foreigner.
A polite, cogent letter is well worth a try.

Give me a break Alex. I'm still in mourning.

The coop will ask for a "departure" (or something like that) and the ticket will stand. I'd suggest though that rather than consult us bush lawyers, you give your own lawyer a call, he shouldn't charge you for a quick question

lookin at my speedo...Krusti is talking about your SPEEDO... that tells you what speed you are doing.....lol
Yeah I would try writing in as well.... after all a car is not a motorbike...
50, 54, 53, 55, 58, 61 ... ooops too fast.. 55, 53, 0 was that a corner?
na, bugger that for a lark!
Can't promise anything but I have used similar before...
"Please can you waive the ticket number ... for the reasons outlined below.
I had checked my speedo 8-9 seconds ago and was within tolerence. At the time my speed was recorded I was scanning the road, this is a task that I spend most of the time doing on the road. Within the next few seconds, and when safe to do so, I was due to do a speed check. If at this point my speed had been in excess of the tolerated limits I would have reduced my speed accordingly.
During this time I did see the officers vehicle and decided that the risk of checking my speed at that time would not be wise and could have been potentially dangerous (car behind, unchecked area of road or surrounding area...). A motorcycle is not like a car and requires skilfull control to ride and stop. So reducing or even checking speed because a police car is ahead, they might be checking speed and I might be going a little bit fast is not good riding, it is asking for an accident.
It seems as though the officer concerned was not paying too much attention to his duties as he failed to notice my vehicle was a motorbike and not a car. If an officer is given the job of booking vihicles for exceeding the speed limit then as a pre-requisite for the job then they should be able to tell the difference between 2 and 4 wheeled forms of transport.
In this case I will be contesting the ticket in court. So if you choose not to waive this ticket then please can you forward documentary proof that the speed equipment was properly calibrated for use at the time of the alleged offence."

Good luck mate, oh yea, if you dont like the speedo, the rev counter works just as well too.

Not sure if I'm gonna bother. I'm still unsure on what the hell to do, and I'm probebly going to step in an even bigger puddle of shit than the one I'm already lying in
Aargh, photos!
Try just giving them a polite letter. They should dismiss it on incorrect information grounds?
Spud?

How do I go about proving I was driving a motorcycle at the time? I'll probebly end up being told that I could've been driving a car for all they know, and it's not reasonable grounds to discredit the ticket.
I'll write some form of letter, may post it up on here first before I send it to god knows where

The registration sticker will prove that it was a bike and not a car.
Time to ride
Rest In Peace
fully write a letter and ask for it to be quashed! be reasonable and polite, You were not driving a car and all fields on the ticket need to be filled, and correctly. the person who reads your letter will hopefully be higher ranked than the pleb who called your ride a car and will go and give him a bollocking.......
The world stands aside to let anyone pass who knows where he is going....

I think sometimes they do it on purpose, filling in the wrong fields...
Maybee to give those with half a brain a chance to get out of it...
would be interesting to see how many tickets are waived due to wrong info on the ticket.
any input on the cops on this one... or what happens if you muck up too many tickets?

Its worth a go. Write a letter to the Infringment Bureau highlighting the obvious error on the ticket. And yes, be polite, nobody likes a smart arse!
Good luck.
