Speeding through a construction zone and getting a citation for it is a bit different than not having a front license plate. But 2 mph over borders on CS, but if you talked to anybody that works on has seen what goes on in a construction zone, maybe 2mph isn't so CS. My beef is in Ohio, the penalties are still in effect even if there is no work going on in a marked zone.
Ask anybody who's worked or responded to a crash or incident in a construction zone how CS a citation is for speeding.......oh, me. Last time I heard nobody ever got killed over not having a front license plate. I travel a bit myself and Ohio does seem to have a lot of police around the borders and interstates, and construction zones as there are only two seasons in Ohio, winter and construction.
Don't come to Ohio I guess.
OK, time to get this thread back off- track....
On 2 July, 1881, Charles J. Guiteau shot President James A. Garfield twice in the back in an attempt to assassinate Garfield. It worked but not quite the way Guiteau had envisioned; Garfield lived eleven agonizing weeks, finally succumbing to massive infections and dying on 19 September, 1881. Being charged with murder, Guiteau pleaded non guilty and used an early version of the 'insanity defense'. At one point in the trial, Guiteau even argued that the bullets did not kill Garfield but rather he was killed by infections caused by careless medical care, which was normal at the time, saying "The doctors killed Garfield, I just shot him". This is almost certainly true and accurate as the actual gun shot wounds were not lethal. Neven the less, Guiteau was found guilty and given an all- expense paid trip through the trap door of a gallows....
The point to all of this is of course is that even though Garfield was born in Ohio, he never had the slightest trouble with any vehicular law enforcement issues at all, including the infamous problems in that state regarding the use of a front license plate, tight enforcement of excessive speed laws or any difficulty whatsoever in any construction zones.

If I didn't have a forum to hang out at during the work day I would really be bummed. This one is pretty fun
The Wright brothers, after years of intense research and experimentation, made the first powered flight by a [heavier than air] vehicle on 17 December, 1903 at Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. NOT Kitty Hawk, North Carolina as is usually cited: that is merely the closest populated area in NC.
The area was selected for its mile climate, steady and common winds and great stretches of sandy areas, ideal for the softest possible landings for vehicles that were most likely to need a soft landing area. The location was suggested to Wilbur Wright by Octave Chanute but he was only as specific as the mid- Atlantic coast. Wilbur studied US Weather Bureau data, and that section of NC was the closest area deemed viable to Dayton, OH, where the Wright brothers lived and worked.
At least that is the history and recorded data as presented today. Personally, I wonder if there was not a deeper and more sinister reason for the Wright brothers to leave Ohio in the first place: restrictive flight laws in that state? Perhaps there were issues of transporting all of their planes and equipment on the roads in Ohio, especially through construction zones? And finally, perhaps aeroplanes (accepted spelling of airplane at that time) were required to display two license plates, thereby enraging the Wright brothers and totally spoiling the looks of Flyer I? There is no record of any of this but then again, if the whole thing was a gigantic conspiracy in the first place, there would NOT be any records. Coincidence? I think not....

As the Thing from the Fantastic Four would say 'It's drinking time!'. I've just installed my Race Tech fork compressor thingy on my workbench so that I can R&R my forks. Not sure how well it works but if it does, all will be welcome to borrow it assuming they bring beer and possibly steaks. Also, just started heating up the grill for hamburgers and corn tonight for supper.Is that thingy mounted below the crash protected shelf?

Grill: I got me a new grill a couple of years ago- one of those cheap infrared jobs. It worked well but was slow and did not put much heat to the meat (easy boys!). Then the lower steel plates rotted out and I got a new set of plates / grates / infrared radiators that have a single layer and shazam! it was like sex, only good! Fantastic! Like a great date, it is hot, fast and never flares up. I love this thing! So I have been grilling everything that won't run away and most of it is coming out fantastic. And for the first time in my entire life, I do not suck at grilling- I always though it was just that I suck at grilling but apparently those flame- shooting, grease- laden, rock- spitting things I had in the past were just lousy grills. Hey, I always buy the cheap ones and probably got everything I deserved. But this one is just great. A Char- broil 'Tru Infrared' with the stainelss steel "W" grates. Still a pretty cheap grill but I cannot imagine anything working better. The only problem with it is it is kinda' difficult to clean 'cause nothing will fall through the grate; so I just give it a good scraping with an elk's hoof and vacuum out the carbon.
