progressive sent me a email that i printed off that told all vital insurence info for my bike i rode it immidiatly after that with no problem and got pulled over and the peice of paper worked fine when i told the cop i had just gotten insurance thats why had no actual card, he said that what i had was fine, and let me go , he only pulled me over for no tag so it was not big deal.  Most states will drop your fine if you provide proof at the time of incident.

Make sure you ride your bike to court and stick it to the man..

LOL what else am I gonna ride, I have no car...lol..

Uh...is this a trick question???  

Geez..I'm a pervette tonight!

Quote from: FaxxxyAnother quick story..

Failure to maintain control of his vehicle. (the loophole on this one is, they can only charge you with failure to maintain WHILE YOU ARE STILL ON THE BIKE..  He had left the road, got bucked off in the ditch and the bike returned to the road and hit a car)

So you are telling me that they cannot charge me for failure to maintain control of my vehicle if I am not on or in it at the time of an accident???

I think you are smoking crack!  

By your view I could go outside and start my car and put it in drive and step out of the car, shut the door and let it just go down the street by itself and the police cannot charge me with failure to maintain my vehicle because I am no longer in it???

I find that hard to believe.

As for the no tag and seatbelt issue the cop was a little off base but the failure to maintain his vehicle I feel that the rider is responsible because his motorcycle, regardless of if he was not on it or not, did hit a car and cause damage.  Just a few seconds before the bike hit the car he was in control of the bike and being that the bike belongs to him it ends back up in his lap as for being responsible.  

You could have ended up in trouble yourself if he never bothered to register the bike in his name after he bought it from you and claimed that the bike was not his but he was just test riding it because this could have come back to bite you in the ass since the bike would have no longer been insured under your name but you were the last registered owner.  

The car that got hit could have come after you for the damages if there was no paper trail as to your friend buying the bike.  Just think about that one for a minute.

Being that your wife works for a Law office I would bet money that you did have a good paper trail as to selling the bike so that this type of mistake could not happen to you.

I have seen this happen when someone sold their car and did not turn the plates back into the DMV and the new owner never bothered to register the car and ended up in an accident and told the police that it was not their car and never showed up for court and you can figure out the nightmare the seller had since the buyer screwed him.

Don't swerve

Jump it.

Yes

Thats a discussion for a different thread..

wreckless endangerment
possibly manslaughter
possibly vehicular homicide

You dont get off scott free for doing something like that.
However, failure to maintain requires that you are in a position to maintain.

I'm not saying he wasn't responsible for the damage to the car it hit.
I'm just saying that his accident did not have the elements for a failure to maintain.

Quote from: tkm433I feel that the rider is responsible because his motorcycle, regardless of if he was not on it or not,.

So if your bike is stolen, you are still responsible for any damage it causes?

Quote from: tkm433Being that your wife works for a Law office I would bet money that you did have a good paper trail as to selling the bike so that this type of mistake could not happen to you..

I buy and sell 2 or 3 bikes every year.
I've got the paperwork down pretty iron clad...  
And Like you pointed out, the fact that my wife is an attorney certainly helps things.

Report it stolen..  

Honestly, a signed receipt is all you really need. In this particular instance, I also had a lein on the title because I was letting him make payments. He also had insurance on the bike which is a court admissable criterion for ownership.

He had only had the bike a week. He was feeling that big 750 under him and was having a little too much fun.
Who among us hasn't been there?
