Caught by the Fuzz
OOOPS, Finally got it good. Crossed a white line in front of a parking lot and a cop car materialized out of thin air. Things got pretty ugly as I wasn't really in the best of shape, covered in plaster dust and looking pretty scruffy. The conversation took a definitely wrong turn when they decided my scooter was stolen. Errr no Sir, I've had it for 12 years and Yes Sir, I restored it myself 15 years ago.
Did I mentioned that of course 1) I didn't have the scoot's papers 2) I had just stuck my plates on it for a little errand and 3) YES I HAD CROSSED A WHITE LINE. It took almost 2 hours to sort all this business, with visits to the workshop AND the hous AND a full search in public... looking good :-(
This will net me a hefty fine as well as a denounciation to the judge for the lack of insurance... ouch ouch ouch.
