so here i am jra when I have two cyclists come flying past me going cops cops...i jam the breaks right 5 feet before this 4way stop. I see them around the corner and seeing there was no traffic coming i go again.
$110 fine for failure to stop at a stop sign. I got my bell though so i am not in bad shape. i start talking to the guy and sure enough i am wearing my TRY AMSTERDAM tshirt with bikes ganja stickfigures having sex and magic mushrooms. I want to beat the ticket of course. So when he starts asking me to fix his bike and gains knowledge of my mechanical abilities and time spent in bike shops he wants to know what i knew about stolen bikes and shops selling them i told him about IGORs down on Queen st east. (i didnt know but his store is now queen west)
Sure enough this week in the news igors was charged with over 300 stolen bicycles and this arrest led to another capturing and receiving over 3000 bikes at another location.
sure the cop gave me the ticket anyway but said hed let me off that time. Well it is a month later and usually the courts process tickets by now. maby i got off.
anyway score another bust for the ninja. all it took was me walking into their bike shop once looking for a hub part. they asked me if i had hot bikes for sale and i remembered from one of the shops i worked at from a fellow employee about the situation there. Funny that i didnt remember all these years but when it came to a stupid ticket that i didnt want to pay i remembered clearly.oster_oops:
