    I went to court for my first ticket I got on the F6B, it was for 71 in a 65 and I was riding right next to the ISP that was setting the pace of traffic at 70. I creeped passed him and he turned on his lights.

    The case was dismissed Thursday because the officer was unavailable it said. But the point here is to not be afraid to take a ticket to court if you think you were wronged.

    Another update is I've installed a radar detector on my bike yesterday and used it for the first time this morning on the way to work. I didn't speed but I liked the secure feeling of having it and had less paranoia riding. After getting two tickets in a short span I was getting kind of concerned. The section of freeway on I84 going through Boise is full of officers just waiting for anyone speeding as a word of warning to anybody passing through.

    I ride through Boise several times a year, on Interstate 84, and when I do...as I read the signs..."I" go "84" mph through there.

    I have not been stopped yet...but then again...I do use a Valentine 1 radar detector.

    Haha well if you do go 84mph you better make sure you have it turned on because lately they have been patroling it well. Last week one day going to work I saw two cars pulled over and one cop on the side of the freeway. The city must be running low on cash.
    I do love having a radar detector for peace of mind.
