Lucky you. I recently got a little too enthuisiastic on my Ninja ZX10, to the tune of 44kms over, $329 (Canadian), and 4 demerit points. Hope the officer is too hung over to show up to court. They're really on a roll up here too. I think the municipal and provincial coffers need some propping up. Cheers, Anthony "J.
