Well I told the hearing officer (apparently license suspensions aren't worth a judge, but tickets are??? ) about my situation and school and all, and he agreed to go easy on me, gave me the legal minimum of 6 months, which is cool. Out of Colorado Springs, I have a relatively small group of friends, maybe 30-40 if I include acquaintances I've met more than once. Out of those, because of our city's driving style and the second department of revenue there, the CSPD, I'm the 4th among my personal friends to get my license suspended. And none of us participate in any organized street racing or have particularly fast cars *one friend has a 92 Dodge Stealth that's pretty quick*. All of them lost their licenses for 1 to 1.5 years, but fortunately my license is only gone for 6 months. So I'm excited (relatively) about that.

Lol I forgot... I still haven't changed my location... I'm in Phoenix, AZ now... Snow? Non-existent!
Ah well, if I get a literbike, I can always outrun the cops right?

I've heard horror stories from riders out of CO about how they're treated, just out of plain discrimination against motorcycles. Your post here reminded me of the story posted about noise ordinances posted in particular for motorcycles. The rather odd thing about the Db level was that one could not operate a weedwacker.
