Driving without a motorcyle license ticket
I'm looking to hear any feedback from anyone in va beach who has received a ticket like this. I do have the motorcyle learner's permit and insurance. I normally only ever ride the bike on the weekend with a group of friends. I was planning on getting the license, but never got around to it. Anyways I put a jet kit in a friends bike and after messing with the tuning for several hours I got it running perfect. Well my friend brings the bike back and wants me to take it out. I pull out onto the rode several feet from my house and three cop cars surround the bike
Appartenly my buddy was winding up a few gears down the street and a cop saw him. Well I explain it wasn't me and my friends admits it was him and this is the first time I was on the bike. Well the police arrest my friend and charge him with a reckless driving ticket. The officer then runs my license for what reason I don't know. Asks me if I have a motorcle permit, which I agree that I did. She then says that I was riding without a licensed rider present. I nicely inform her that my buddy is licensed. She then says well it is dark out and writes me the ticket. How serious of a ticket is this? Looking for info from anyone that had this happen to them. Sorry for the long story, and I know I'm a dumbass for never getting the license.

Re: Driving without a motorcyle license ticket
I'm almost willing to guarantee that if you get licensed before your court date, they will drop it. Might be worth consulting an attorney about, but I don't think the ticket is that big of a deal based on the circumstances. It would be worth paying an attorney a couple hundred bucks to get you out of it though.
