Luck Strikes again

[He Man]

for those who have been aware of my bad luck streak...

I just got hit with 2 parking tickets. I was about 6 inches on the wrong side of a fire zone sign. I thought i could get away with it being there for 5 mins as i ran upstairs to hand in some paper work. And i got hit with Missing plate. A cop wrote the ticket and he knew exactly where the VIN was and exactly what brand it was. either way, it was my wrong, but god damn, 5 mins i all it takes. Last time it was less than 2-3 mins.

Most cops know where the VIN is.
And does your bike still say "DUCATI" on the tank?

nope. The only place that says ducati is on the right side engine case. I dude knew it was a Monster when he was telling me how they treat biks in nyc. It pretty much went like... "we throw it on a flat bed and it wont ever run right again".

Most cops do know where the vin is. But most traffic cops here dont. Well, they probably do, but they are too damn lazy to look for it.

Let's not make the focus of this thread cops.

yes, let's make it about guys that keep parking in places they admittedly know they shouldn't.

That is an unfortunate run of luck.  Hope it turns the other way for ya.

it's raining shit on you, man. Sorry to hear about your continued run of bad luck. Maybe all of us sports fans could have you bet against our teams?

hey i never said i was right. Just asked why i couldnt be wrong for just 5 minutes. 

[CowboyBeebop]

burn!

Righteous. 

So the bike in question did not have a plate? 

In my city, your front wheel must be in line with the sign post, but the bumper can extend beyond it.  Same goes for bikes (half of the front wheel can extend beyond the sign).  Not so in NYC, I gander?

Remember your removable plate thread...

So now someone can easily steal your plate?  Doesn't seem like a great idea to me.
As for the parking they can easily check your vin and give you a ticket.

and then...
