fine. i have two speeding tickets this year. totally ridiculous. i am starting to think it is my long hair. seriously, i am. i didn't have a single ticket from 1999 to 2010, which is not to say that i wasn't pulled over, because i was pulled over several times for everything from speeding to broken headlight.

suddenly, i have four tickets in four years, one of which the police officer acted like a complete thug and ended up having his lieutenant called. this kinda crap never happened when i had 'socially approved hair lenghth'.

now, i admit, i was going fast and pushing things for the first one (canyon riding on the ducati, knee down in the corners). the one a week ago was just stupid. i wasn't in a hurry, knew officers were out because it was the day before labor day, etc. still managed to get nailed. the two firearms in the front seat did give the officer a bit of pause, he certainly asked me what i had there. then, he didn't ask me for my registration, or proof of insurance. i have NEVER been pulled over and not had the officer ask for my registration. i am thinking he didn't want to see what was in the glove box.... who knows.

anyway, there you have it. my rant on tickets.
